Lurking News

Yesterday, I thought we were going to get news about the lurker.  I was wrong.  We are getting some help.  Interesting thing.  Someone is being pulled from another group full time for a few weeks.  So what happens when the few weeks are over?  Interesting.  No mention of the lurker or what's going on.  Not mad.  Not sad.  Glad the lurker will still be missing.  I'll be ok if it's permanently.  Still curious but relieved to have more time without them.

I just felt like I couldn't get to the end of the day fast enough.  I didn't even know where to begin with some things.  I just felt frustrated that at one point I got up to look for things in my room. I managed to get the blinds that had dropped behind a dresser.  My mom wants to get them in my room at some point.  I was just happy I could get them out after they had dropped behind there months ago.  

There's not enough room in this place and I keep misplacing things that it's driving me nuts.  I had some resistance bands I got with my lifestyle and fitness card that I wanted to use.  The last two days I have felt the sciatica in my left leg and I know there are stretches I can do to help alleviate it.  Can I find them?  Nope.  

I got this very junky pilates kit back in November that I may just dump at Goodwill.  I'm kind of disappointed in it. I wouldn't give it all up. I do like the circle thing and I use that. I really can't seem to blow up the ball that comes with the kit.  Who knew I wasn't full of hot air?  I'm not sure what the other stuff is or should be used for.  I don't need a reformer set like the diva.  Go figure.  She has her husband set one up in their home and I barely have room for a yoga mat.  No, I don't a reformer. I just want to be able to find those damn bands.

I did find a pair of bunny glasses that I had gotten from Dollar Tree last year for Charlotte.  I had sent an Easter package.  I just couldn't remember if I included that.  Things were so crazy because of the possible move we would have to make that things got thrown into drawers or hidden.  Screw you, Great Fava for making me forget I had these glasses but Easter is around the corner.  Maybe she'll like them with my easter package.

I got to see Mandela Barnes last night and he just reaffirmed that I am voting for him.  It was a more relaxed atmosphere and mom got to hear better.  I thought it was interesting when he did explain to a younger voter that he did not take money from AIPAC and that his campaign took money from J Street.  He explained that's 2 different organizations.  People spend too much time on the internet.  The voter that asked him was kind of condescending and I liked how calmly he handled him.  I did see that the young voter was talking to him after the event broke up.  I thought well that's good.  Have conversations.  Don't assume.  My mom wants to go to the event in Bay View where he'll be at the end of next month.  Well.  I'm ok with that.  I think if he or Fran Hong are anywhere in the area, we'll go again.  Last night was a different kind of chill vibe.  It wasn't bad on Sunday.  This just seemed lighter and more interesting.  I thought Mandela did great talking to people and answering questions.  He's my choice and if Fran Hong is the one who wins the primary, I'll write postcards and text bank for her.  If it's anyone else?  I'll support them whole heartedly.  These are my two top choices. 

So nice to have the day off.  So very needed.  I got to make a return for mom this morning so I'll be back at Whole Foods doing what I do best.  Returning Amazon stuff.

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...
