Sort of an Ok Day

I didn't expect to get a news alert about Matt Gaetz withdrawing for the Attorney General when I signed off for the afternoon.  Who knew there could be a glimmer of hope in this sea of anxiety? That's great news.  

I listened to Lawrence O'Donnell's show and wondered how could Gaetz survive this?  I heard Senator Amy Klobuchar talk about subpoenaing witnesses if the ethics report isn't going to get released.  Maybe he could run Truth Social or whatever that farce is.  What a horrible horrible person he is.

I had looked at my credit report out of curiosity and was shocked that I had another jump.  I didn't expect this.  It still looks sad but not as sad as it did a month ago.  They told me it would go down before it would go up.  Well not yet.  So far.  I have a long way to go, but it's looking a lot better these days.

We got my mom's checking accounts straightened out and any money she had in the old one is into the new one.  Thank goodness.  We got a notice from social security confirming the new checking account switch.  Thank goodness again.

It's been a lot the last few weeks.  I told my mom  I'm sure the person who stole that check will due time at some point.  As long as the bank didn't tell her she owed the money.

I'm glad that I was fortunate enough to work from home.  I don't miss the days of having it take 2 hours to get home when I had to drive from Pewaukee to the south east side of Milwaukee during an ice storm.  That was awful.  I'm not equipped after that.

No, I don't look forward to my emails in the morning.  Every time I got three taken care of, two more would come in.  Insert the "pounding head against wall" emoji right here.  Hopefully I can keep my eye doctor appointment next month and my creditor situation will accept the final proposal.  

I know I'll have to start making at least one appointment in the next month.  I thought maybe after I saw my doctor in July that I could save the money to pay for an MRI.  I have come to the conclusion that I can't do it.  I think any money I get in come spring will need to be put aside in case we move.

I guess I can feel proud of myself for managing the medical on my own for so long.  It really sucks when you think something that can detect a problem is out of your price range.

Way Past My Bedtime

 I crashed before Reverend Raphael Warnock's speech.  The power of DVR saved me. I watched it this morning right up to the point where I had to sign in.  It was fantastic.   Hillary was great.  My mom was crying.  It meant a lot to her to have Hillary win that election and she was crushed. I was crushed.  She always fan girls over Hillary.  It was hard for me to decide in 2008 do I go with Barack or Hillary?  She gave a phenomenal speech. I had to watch Joe this morning.  No, I didn't cry like I usually did.  I got a little teary eyed when his daughter finished her speech and introduced him.  That nice man made sure his little boys had a dad that came home every night after they lost their mom and baby sister.  He took his oath of office by their bedsides.  He got a second chance with Jill and having a daughter.  He's such a good human.  Yeah, he looks 81.  He lit that stage on fire with a torch....

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...

So Here's the Weekend

 I was having a wishful thinking moment last night when I was writing my postcards.  I was wishing for my imaginary friend that has shades of Stephen Colbert mixed in to show up and go for a walk on this humid July night.  We would talk and maybe check out the food trucks that were at the Farmer's Market last night.  Maybe they would be ok.  Maybe they wouldn't.  We would be getting out of the house and just talking about how our week went for both of us. Maybe we would stop at Pick n' Save and get my mom something she asked for.  He would always know how to talk to my mom and he would be someone she's really comfortable around like Charlie.  We would maybe see Charlie mowing the lawn on his usual Friday night task and talk to him. He might have plans with his kids in the morning so we say our good night with a hug or maybe even something else.  No, I'm not going salacious here.  Get your mind out of the gutter.  Maybe we'd see each...
