Up Way Too Early

 I woke up a few times and finally got up at 5.  I can thank Queen Precious for that assistance.  She's got three dishes on her dresser.  How did that happen in my sleep fog?

We had a chance to speak to Charlie when we dropped off the rent downstairs.  Really kind of sounds like our old landlord didn't do much of anything while he was downstairs painting.  Was he hiding from his four kids?  Kind of sounds that way.  He did paint but Jeremy would like the walls painted a different color.  I'm with you, Jeremy. I thought they were too dark from the pictures.  Mom worried about what we said about the old landlord.  Well, I don't think we were bad about him.  Maybe the monster.  It was more information that they might need.  An inspection was never done when the Great Fava bought the place and I thought that should be something that Charlie and Jeremy should be aware of when they come across things.  I thought Charlie should get a little bit of my mom's charm so I encouraged her to come downstairs with me.  She asked if this was their forever home and basically this will be income property.  It won't be a flipping house, maybe buy another duplex.  If anything, we have them for a couple of years and if they move on, it won't be to sell the house.  

I was happy that our next door neighbor took down the fence. I saw him talking to Charlie yesterday and it really made me happy.  Darrin was kind of rude and elusive with us the last couple of years because of the monster.  I don't think he wanted to deal with it because he knew how dangerous the monster was and he avoided us.  That wasn't fair to us.  Now that the monster is gone, maybe Darrin will be a little friendlier and it's ok if he isn't with us.  I'm happy that he took the fence down and wants to help Charlie with the flooring downstairs.  I think that's great and we mentioned that Byron across the alley was a great help for us. 

I told my mom that I worried about the monster so badly that I wouldn't wake one of these days.  The night that he looked up at my window and gave a smirk scared me.  He didn't think I saw him but I did.  I sat down on my bed and plugged my phone into the charger on my dresser.  I got up and walked out of the room.  

I thought he's going to break in some night and kill us in a rage.  I was frightened for a few days and the fear tapered down when things got quiet.  There was always this fear that he could turn and things could turn ugly.

It was scary.

I'll probably go get a sheet of stamps this morning and write more postcards.  I have skipped out on text banking for now.  My heart isn't there yet.  I don't know if I have it in my right now to have people saying obscene things to me on those text banks.  

I started a project for one group and I didn't realize that for the New York Mayor's race, Andrew Cuomo is the leader.  I actually stopped writing postcards once I found out.  I thought is this really a race we want to pay attention to?  I'll mail out what I started but I thought I don't care about this race now that Democrats are backing Cuomo.  

I liked Cuomo in the early days of the pandemic.  I think we all appreciated someone being honest.  He was informative and you felt like you could get straight answers.  He lied about the nursing homes.  He lied about sexually harassing women.  He broke the trust.  I don't hate and I don't care that he's running for mayor.  I just don't feel ok backing someone like that or putting my full support behind it.  

I'm still so shocked at how people do their research when it comes to vaccines.  Sigh.  I worried about going back to the office because I knew a lot of people wouldn't have gotten the covid vaccine or probably didn't.  They didn't get that you could be asymptomatic and I could get sick with Covid and then bring it home to my mom who's diabetic.  Frick probably thinks I don't want to be around people because I think I might get Covid.  

No, I don't want to be around groups of people because I kind of find people to be jerks since Covid.  Corinne got covid but it was mild.  She went to a funeral in Canada and got stuck with a cougher on the flight home.  She was vaccinated as well as her husband and sister.  They never got it.  See how easy that was?  Everyone got vaccinated and when got sick, she didn't pass it on to her other loved ones.  

Caring about people is too much for others, I guess.

I hope the good humans have a good day.
