Bravo Sunday

It's a Bravo TV kind of Sunday. I finished Below Deck Mediterranean last night so time to move to Below Deck Sailing Yacht.  I can't keep up with the excitement.  Plus, I watched a Jim Gaffigan comedy special.  It's not easy being me.

When I left this morning to go for my walk, I noticed that all the leaves in the yard got blown into the alley.  Yeah. The monster did yard work yesterday.  Leave it to him to do it his way.  Not a big deal but just a reminder what a lazy bum he is.  This is why I need to go for a drive on the weekends to get away from this person.

I think it was a pit bull that I saw today.  His owner had pulled him off to the side and I thought it was comical that he had a little plaid hoodie on to keep him warm.  Dogs wearing clothes is hilarious.  Putting a doll dress on a cat will get your ass kicked. I know from experience.  Not Precious.  Tinker was madder than hell when I put a doll dress on her and took a picture.  How undignified.  

I got $25 in Shopkick money to use on groceries.  I was going to scan for more when we did our weekly shopping but there were a lot of people who were getting annoyed by me standing there and scanning deodorant.  Maybe I'm very picky.  Safe to say I got a lot done this weekend.  

I got a notification that my next payment was going to be taken out for my creditors.  Here's hoping the remaining creditor accepts the proposal.  I got the recurring charges cancelled.  It may sound weird but I kind of like seeing that notification, like hey, you're on your way. It's a long ass road but you'll get there.  Just wish that I had some extra money coming in. I'd take $10 just to put it on my car for crying out loud.   By late February, things should be better.

Listening to Rebel Wilson's book has been a really good choice after the election.  I listened to the part where Sacha Baron Cohen was such a jerk to her on The Brothers Grimsby.  You know, the whole joke on Rudy Giuliani was hilarious but I don't get him.  He wanted her to run naked across a stadium and when she wouldn't, he had her sit and watch the body double do it.  Gross.  He's just vile.  

I identified with the weight struggles she talked about and dating this guy from a rich family.  She was surprised he was apologetic about his weight when she struggled.  The point she made in her book is that weight is a number on the scale.  It doesn't take away who you are.  I know I kind of laughed about drooling over the running guy. I thought here I am at my weight, why would I have any appeal?  Well, first up, he may be married.  Second, he may be a mirage.  I'm not sure.  I don't know. I think between the weight issues and the past health issues makes me feel like I got taken out of any consideration.

I'm a strong person.  I dealt with a lot on my own. I am not a greedy person.  I share and I'll be the first to help if someone needs help.  I like cats and dogs.  And anything furry better than people.  I might be shy, but once someone gets to know, I can be pretty cool.  I can probably name more Senators in this country than most can be.  I am a kind person.  It would crush me to know if I ever hurt anything.  I'm on your side. Loyalty means a lot. I have people's backs.  I have been told that I have nice eyes.  It reflects my kind heart.  Am I selling that well enough?  I'm not good at selling myself but I'm good at sticking up for others. 

Let's see if I can name the senators, I honestly don't know the Dakota senators but I know Doug Burghum was the North Dakota governor.

Alabama - Tommy Tuberville, Katie Britt - who can forget her State of the Union remarks?  Go back to Stepford Wives, Katie Britt you twit.

Arkansas - Tom Cotton.  Don't know the other, but I know Sarah Huckabee is the governor

Delaware - Chris Coons and now Lisa Rochester Blunt.   

Connecticut - Chris Murphy and I can't remember the other

Massachusetts - Elizabeth Warren and I can't remember the other.  Ed Markey comes to mind, but I don't know

Vermont - Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch

North Carolina - Thom Tillis, drawing a blank on the second person.  I know Josh Stein won for Governor 

South Carolina - Trumps other wife - Lindsay Graham and Tim Scott

Georgia - Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.  Jon Ossoff is quite the snack and please tell me Majorie Taylor Green is not running against him in 2026

Louisiana - Is it Bill Cassidy?  Drawing a blank on this one

Mississippi - Same with this one. I am think there is one Senator with the name Cynthia?

Texas - Ted Cruz and John Coryn

New Mexico - Blank.  Blank.  Blank.  Might be Democrats.  Drawing a blank

Missouri Josh Hawley and hopefully someone who isn't as annoying as he is

Minnesota  -Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar

Illinois - Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin

Wisconsin - Ron Johnson (gross) and Tammy Baldwin

Michigan - Elissa Slotkin and Gary Peters

Ohio - I'd like to forget this one because I'm so sad about Sherrod.  Bernie Moreno and hopefully someone better than JD Vance 

Pennsylvania - my fashion icon John Fetterman and another sad one - Dave McCormick - BOO!

New York - Chuck Schumer and Kristen Gillibrand

Colorado - not sure - John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennett

Wyoming  - Barasso?  This one escapes me

The Dakotas- thinking John Thune might be for South Dakota?  No idea on North Dakota

Kansas - no idea.  I know Laura Kelly is their governor

Maine - Susan Collins and Angus King  - I could be wrong on Angus?  He's still in?

New Hampshire - Maggie Hassan and not sure on the other senator

California - Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla

Washington - Maria Cantwell, Patti Murray.  Or is Murhy?

Rhode Island - I don't know

Maryland - Angela Alsobrooks and ?? on the 2nd one

Oregon - Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden.  Did I spell that right?

Iowa - Joni Ernst and another blank

Indiana - two Republicans?

Hawaii - Is it still Mazie Hirono? I know I have her book on Kindle

Florida - Rick Scott and Marco Rubio

Idaho, Utah - don't know but thinking Mike Lee is maybe from Utah?  I think it's Republicans but not familiar with the names

Montana - wondering if I got Bernie Moreno's name mixed up with Ohio?  Not sure.  Still mad about Jon Tester losing - BOOOO!

Nebraska - Deb Fischer and don't know the other name

Nevada - Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto, or Mastro?  Not sure

Oklahoma - Jim Lankford and that Waynemullin guy who seems to have a big mouth.  I'm a little unsure on their names

Tennesse - Marsha Blackburn and is it Jim Burchett?

Virginia - Mark Warner and drawing a blank on that one too. I know Abigail Spanbauer is running for Governor in 2025 though.  She was in Congress. Why am I babbling?

West Virginia - not Joe Manchin. I think it's Jim Justice and someone else who will shine Trump's shoes.

Did I get all of the states?  I'm not sure if I have some of these correct, but I'm obviously not an idiot if I know that many names.

I have a lot to offer another person, despite my flaws and quirks.  We all have them.  We just don't always know how to find each other.

I didn't see my running mirage but I did see a dog in a plaid coat and that made me happy.

It was a good Sunday.  Back to Below Deck Sailing Yacht and get the Sunday scaries.

Have a good night, good humans.  If you all know how to be kind to yourselves can you help me?

The Dark Things

I sometimes wonder about this when I'm in a brooding mood about how I got treated at a low time in my life.  Or lowest. Would people have been relieved if I just died?   Really.  I have thought the answer was yes.  I'm not talking about my family. I am talking about those who made their discomfort known to me.   They could have had some fake ceremony and a moment of silence.  There wouldn't have been a funeral so they could have forgotten about that part.  They would have excelled at pretending to care about my life if I wasn't here. Then, I had to go do something stupid and survive.  How do we deal with that?  My mentor even mentioned to me, well, you know, none of us have dealt with someone being sick.  Oh, should I get a fucking manual for that?  Excuse the F bomb but that was warranted. When I got my schedule for radiation therapy, I had wanted to talk to my manager about it and find out if it was ok.  I had gotte...

Blue Evening

We took a drive to see a place in Bay View. I was kind of familiar with the address, but I wasn't sure. I found it.  It was not great. According to my Ring alerts, it's near an area with crime.  It was in our price range. I just can't seem to shake this funk I'm in.

Know Who You Are

 I am struggling a bit with a new work assignment. I've bounced around to working with new groups since the pandemic and it's been alright, but it's been a little difficult with balancing when I just feel off with how much I"m doing.  I have my mojo somedays and somedays I don't know why I gout out of bed.  Today was that day. I got shamed by a mistake.  It wasn't that the person called me, they copied a few people to let me know I. AM. STUPID.  And no, I don't take it personal. It comes with the territory when it comes to the work that I do.  I like being behind the scenes and assisting but it seems to be that my kind can feel the wrath of when things go wrong.  Or sometimes all that we juggle is not enough.  We are the recipient of a bad day if someone has a fight with a spouse or a child and get told, it's better it happened to you than their family member.  Lucky me. Glad I'm not a family member. The worst came with someone who I reported...
