Grumpy Errand Girl

Drizzle a little bit of sadness and you got my mood for this morning.  I took care of the things I do on a Saturday morning. I got the queen feline another box of kitty litter and as I pushed my cart out of the store, I saw the Time magazine cover that has been annoying me.  I think someone on Threads said that they were putting a magazine with Taylor Swift over the Time magazine in stores.  What do you know?  Who was below?  Taylor Swift.  I put it in front of the Time magazine that disgusted me.  That turned my frown upside down a little bit.  Small acts of defiance. I had dallied with the idea of putting a little mustache on other covers I had seen but that's defacing property and a bad thing.  Even if it feels funny and kind of a good thing. I don't want to go to grocery store jail for that.  This was better.  It was just rearranging and working on the store aesthetic.  I did the same in Target by covering it with Better Homes and Gardens and some cooking magazine.  Good therapy for a wounded soul.

I had one program on last night while my mom dozed off in the chair.  Precious was snuggled up besides me and a congress person was being asked about what happened on January 6 and I just got frustrated by the answers.  Lying.  Making it all normal.  It was not normal.  Still not normal.  Stop normalizing this. It's not ok.

I have Jeopardy Pop Culture on Prime Video and shockingly I don't know the answers like I thought I did.  I can't even stand one minute of hearing about what you know - that guy is doing.  Not today, Satan.  I did listen to my Audible book that David Corn wrote.  My mind has drifted in and out but I am intrigued that that they considered George Bush Sr a radical in comparison to Ronald Reagan.  Really?  

I dropped my package off for Charlotte at the post office.  When I walked to my car, I felt sad and cried a little when I got in.  I was having a lonely moment.  Even though I've adjusted my mind set to what happened after this election, I am still feeling heartbroken and sad.  I am just worried. 

I did sign up for some zoom call with Vote Forward in early February.  I'm going to guess maybe in March they'll have a campaign for the spring election for our Supreme Court.  Considering my budget, I'll do 20 letters if it's for that.  Might cheer me up and restore a little hope.

More errands to run with mom this afternoon.  Hopefully I can help the stores redecorate their magazine section. I think it helps!

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...
