Power to the People

I watched Jimmy Kimmel's monologue this morning.  I'm so happy he's back.  Can we help Stephen too?  Sigh.  I will make a point to find his show on YouTube in support.  In this loony world that we're living in, we need the comedians to help us.  At least help me.  

I read that Disney is going to raise their subscriber prices too.  Um, did they all not learn anything from last week?  People know how to watch stuff without paying for it.  Get real.

We couldn't figure out how we could access the local stations with our Roku TV.  My mom had taken the antenna down but she found the stuff she needed it and got it back up.  It was nice to have different programming then the news.  I found Lawrence O'Donnell being disgusted about the orange pumpkin connecting Tylenol to autism.  I figured we could handle old Lawrence.  At least he gives you things in a quieter and more gentle manner.

I am not errand duty today so I will be venturing out with my Shopkick app and getting more walking in.  I'm almost done listening to Jacinda Arden's book on Audible. I haven't had any offers to get in on any promotions but I think it's safe to say that my library is well stocked.  I am a book nerd.

I saw that they already took out for my new insurance.  That's ok.  I almost wish the due date was the 23rd and maybe it is.  It might be easier to balance my monthly budget if I don't have the big consumer credit bill and insurance to deal with at once.  My old agent responded to me in five minutes to come back if I change my mind.  I wish I would have gotten this response when I asked about which insurance I could switch to now that Secura will be ending their personal lines coverage for everyone this year.  What a horrible insurance company they have become.  I'll never forget that claims adjuster's initials.  F U.  Yeah.  Same to you, F U.  

I guess we are getting new windows at the end of October.  According to Charlie, it should save us on our heating costs.  I just worry it might have a rent increase attached to it and if it does, hopefully it's a kind one. I understand a rent increase of $20 or $25.  When people start with $250, then that's a problem.  We're still finding ourselves wondering where some things were and realize that we had to hide so much because the Great Fava wanted to sell this duplex.

I am so glad the Great Fava and the monster are gone.  Horrible people.  

I hope the good humans have a good day.

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...
