Still Mad - At least it's Friday

 Next week I'll only have to work two days and not be around vipers or divas.  My mom would like to go to a few thrift stores and I'll be happy to be her driver.  She's way nicer than what I'm dealing with these days.

I woke up at 3 am to use the bathroom and I couldn't go back to sleep because I was feeling pretty mad.  I don't expect squat from anyone or expect them to praise me.  I thought why did I comfort the diva when she was so tearful?  I should have just said Oh, today will get better and ended it there.  Empathy might be my superpower but it's also used by others to play me.  Sigh.

I looked at her social media.  It's definitely all about her with the face tune, massive make up, look at me, look at me I'm so wonderful.  Why should any of this stepping on me stuff surprise me?  She's got to be the center of attention.  Not surprised.

I have a meeting later today. I know nobody likes one on a late Friday but it's about procedures and nobody in my group will be in it so that's a bonus.  I'm confused by the whole process we're discussing but maybe I'll learn something new.

I do have one really good friend and yeah, I sure wish she lived closer.  Damn it, why does she have to live 4 hours away?  Makes me more lonely.  Happy she's happier in a better home with her husband living the good life and being near her farm.  Just miss her not being here today.  She explained to me the process she went through to get some dental work done with this female dentist she has been going to that made it easier for her to deal with.  They did something with acupuncture.  Kind of cool and I would never say that about going to the dentist.  She reminded me of the dentist she went to years ago that wound up shutting down because they were running a drug house. I think she had an appointment there and that's how she found out.  Glad her dental care provider has improved for the better.  It really is hard to find a good one and I'm screwed once mine retires.  He's probably well into his mid 70s.  Doesn't seem like it but got a feeling one of these days I'm going to hear it.  Wonder if I can drive 4 hours to Corinne's dentist?  

Looks like we'll have Charlie home today.  It is lawn mowing day.  I guess it maybe grew a half inch.  I joke because it's such a shock to have someone here who's so mindful and nice versus Hillbilly Bob who ran when he saw you because he did something to you behind your back. I should introduce him to the lurker and the diva.

Not sure what I'm going to do this weekend other than get to the post office in Shorewood tomorrow.  The only place I can get postcard stamps without someone bitching at me.  I'll do that before I go on my walk.  Seems like it's way busier when I do it on the way home.  I have postcards to mail in the fall for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia along with the state legislature races.  Yeah.  I'm back in it.  I'm happy to hear that Zohran Mamdani won.  No more Andrew Cuomo.  I watched a Chris Hayes episode that showed a clip that Cuomo sued to get the gynelogical records of the woman that accused him of assault.  What a pig.  And Kristen Gillibrand should retire.  She had no problem getting Al Franken out of the Senate and she supports Cuomo?  Go away.  

Time to get ready for the day.  I'll be dodging divas and lurkers and probably confused by new procedures this afternoon.  Oh well.

I hope the good humans have a good day.
