Good Friday? I hope so

I'll settle for no forest fires today with emails at this point.  Happy to have the week end.  Got to see Corinne and her entourage of dogs and I'm a happy camper.  She got me something.  She put it in a tin and I can't open it until my birthday.  Interesting.  No, I haven't been tempted to look but surprised someone remembered I had a birthday coming up.  I do think I was the inspiration for Sixteen Candles at the time it came out years ago.  If so, where's my hot guy at the end of the movie?

I am not looking forward to the windows being put in.  We have had to move and hide so much stuff since people have come in to look at the house or take measurements of the windows the past six months.  Or pack up because well, we didn't know if we were staying.

I am still worried about rent rising.  My mom had the news on yesterday which I didn't mind initially but then muted it.  It's just a lot to take in.  I did watch the latest South Park episode.  Someone has to hate that show.  Oh my god, they hold nothing back and I'm here for it.

I'm curious to see how the No Kings protest goes.  I told Corinne that something has to give.  Something has to break and I don't know what it is.  It's just scary at times to realize how bad it is and keeps getting.

I have faith that things will turn around.  I have faith in the people.  It didn't seem like that a year ago and I really hope that tomorrow when I watch the news, I feel a sense of hope that things will be ok.  I think there are loud voices out there and they will be showing up tomorrow.

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...
