Well Hell Froze Over Monday

No regrets on cancelling my hair cut.  I didn't really want to go out in this cold and take chances.  If I had to go to work today, I would have left at lunchtime. I would have gone to a store to get away from people.  It just made for a long day when I stayed indoors.  I would go to a store like Target or Wal-Mart and just walk around if I didn't have anything to get.  I just needed to get away and the cold artic air felt better than what I dealt with.  Even with the monster downstairs, I don't feel the need to leave to even go to the store this morning.  I'm staying in and staying warm.  I wish it was warmer when I have a day off but it's fine.  Just glad to have a day off and sleep in.

I am grateful to my cousin last night for reminding my mom that she has fibromyalgia and what she might have experienced with the address issue was "fibro fog."  There's a book that my mom had sent to my cousin who seemed to have chronic pain and it was a book on fibromyalgia.  There was so much grief my mom took when it came to fibromyalgia.  People think you're lazy and you're making things up.  It was a doctor about 30 years ago that diagnosed her.  Maybe it was longer but she was always tired.  I told her last night, we're all aging and sometimes we can forget the simplest thing.  We had the same phone number for the longest time and Spectrum changed it on us and it took me a long time to remember what it was.  I still struggle with it since I have a cell phone number and that!  I can say I can remember.  

I am very glad to see the news about the pre-emptive pardons for the January 6th committee members and their staff along with General Mark Milley and Anthony Fauci.  Nobody did anything wrong.  We are entering a darker time and personally I would take it to protect myself.  I will probably be on social media less.  Last night I found myself doom scrolling comments and thought this needs to stop.  Social media is a horrible place.  It's one thing to message Corinne but pulling back even further.  It will lead to more depression and worry.  

I get enough news alerts that if something is really pressing, I'll turn on the news.  Other than that, I just can't have it on like I used to.  I am hoping to find a postcard program or some letters to write for other campaigns in 2025.

My mom rearranged some of the furniture after we had the computer mystery yesterday and I'm not sure if Precious is ok with it.  She's got two fluffy pillows by the window and I moved one.  She started pounding on the window for me to open it up.  Um, no.  Nutso cat.  She jumped up on her perch via my work desk.  Now she's standing on my laptop.  Oh, that's awesome.  We may have to rethink this situation.

Stay warm good humans.

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...
