An Interesting Day on a Justice Level

I spent the morning walking and listening to Jim Acosta, Don Lemon and Joy Reid talk about the No Kings Protest.  I felt happy and hopeful listening to them.  I felt happy when I saw the people.  I felt like my glimmer of hope was back.

I mailed something for my sister today at the Shorewood post office on my way back. I sent her a text message and joked that I hadn't gone to my neighborhood post office because I don't trust them after the stolen check issue.

I hadn't checked on the woman's court record for awhile.  According to the police like maybe 2 months ago, she had been arrested.  I didn't see anything on the court records.  Today, I did see it.  She is being charged with forgery and her first hearing is in a couple of weeks.  Wow.  Ok.  I like seeing that.

Then I thought of the monster.  Every so often, I'll take a look and see if another lawsuit has been filed.  It seemed futile since it had been about 2 years and he got one dismissed.  I figured I'd see a drunk driving or domestic abuse charge.

There is a new lawsuit against him.  I couldn't believe it.  It got filed this week by the state.  It looks like people got together to file a lawsuit against him for theft by a contractor.  Wow.  It's a Class H felony.  His hearing is on October 30th.  I don't know if he'll get taken in police custody.  This address is listed on the complaint filing.  Great.  I got a feeling someone may knock at our door. I know they have ways to find someone.  I worry that they may scare the guys downstairs and I don't want them to worry.  I want the monster out of everyone's lives.

Wow.  What a day.  Some justice.  Maybe some peace.  What a crazy 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...
