Wow on Wednesday

It was kind of a hot bed of political news today. I was surprised when I got the news alert that Charlie Kirk had been shot.  We got MSNBC on and I thought how can someone survive getting shot in the neck?  They can't.

I didn't know much about that guy.  I just figured he was a Maga bro - insert my eye roll here.  Corinne filled me in on him a little bit.  That might explain some of the comments online from liberals.  He was basically a white nationalist.  

Violence isn't the answer and so help me if this was a liberal who did this.  It feeds right into the narrative radical left lunatic.  This whole upside down world is just making my head hurt. It was ok to laugh when Paul Pelosi got attacked.  It's hilarious that Joe Biden got cancer.  Jokes are made about the two Minnesota lawmakers that got killed but when someone they support falls victim to violence?  It's our fault.  None of this ok and it's just exhausting to hear these things.  These loons that make stupid videos on Tik Tok about drinking liberal tears and yet when these happens they're ready to commit violence on others and accuse us of being the problem. 

I am on the fence about Kamala's book.  I'm not upset that she had some issues about Joe and his health.  It broke my heart to see Joe drop out.  It was kind of my hope that he would have only done one term.  You know who never left the news cycle.  Sigh.  That guy.  The orange one.  I get why Joe decided to run because he beat Trump before but he got tired.  I just kind of think reading her book might make me cry because well, look at who we got.  Maybe as time passes on I might feel differently.  

I did call my car insurance agent.  I'm not real happy that I had to call again but the agent said she's working on my proposal.  She'll have it this week.  Sigh.  I'll be glad when this is done.  I hope it's not much more than what I was paying.  I called last week Tuesday so I thought it was legitimate that I call today and follow up.  I was considering the agent that Frick goes to.  I can't believe I said that.  I did find the agency and I thought about sending an email if I don't hear back this week.  The agency I go to has good reviews but they're just making me nervous. I know.  Be patient.

I am losing about 3 hours for meetings tomorrow.  One of them is fine.  The other upsets me because we will have to interact.  People!  Gross!  Sigh.  It might not be bad.  It's just with me working on closing out assignments before I take time off, this frustrates me with losing more time.  

Here's hoping I don't oversleep like I did today.  Too many things going on in my head.  Spinning and spinning.

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...
