Take the Wins

It was a better weekend after that phone call on Friday.  Life is tough and there's more road blocks, I'm sure.  I just really am happy when we can get a win.  Small or big.  

I had a small victory this morning.  For about six years, I had this damn thing of kitty litter in the trunk of my car.  My mom always said don't say no if someone offers you something.  This attorney asked me if I could use some litter for my cat because they had just put one of their cats down and she didn't know what to do with what they had.  It was about 40 pounds and she helped put it in my car.  Well it never went anywhere in six years.  There was no way I could have brought it upstairs and my mom thought maybe I could use it during the winter months when I drove to work.  Well this was in March 2020 and we all know how that turned out.  I thought how do I get something heavy out like that?  Where do I dump it?  

I found a dumpster near Dollar General and I couldn't.  I saw a guy sleeping by the dumpster.  That was sad.  I felt like dumping it in the church parking lot across the street - remember the guy that has his own church?  I'm not being scandalous by wanting to dump it there.  I would have just let him know what I thought of his sermons online.

I didn't.  I found a dumpster near Walgreens and I was shocked that I was able to lift it out and throw it in.  Why didn't I drop it in my own garbage?  I don't know if the city would take it.  I didn't know if my landlords would be appalled by the big bag of litter that was six years old.  I don't know how toxic stuff like that is after so many years.  I'm just relieved it's gone.

It kind of sounds like that guy running for the Senate in Maine has got some serious problems.  I don't hold any hope on us getting the Senate. I hope we at least come close.  I want to cringe about the California governor race and mayor's race for Los Angeles.  Spencer Pratt?  OMG.  Sigh.  We are in such strange times.  Those are days I just flip off the TV or turn it to Pop Culture Jeopardy on Netflix.

I was curious about the diva and her vacation so I peeked at Tik Tok.  I'm shaking my head.  People act so foolish.  My mom asked why is she singing? I said she's lip syncing to songs from the 80's.  Bragging about her trip, showing she's out of town.  Same with her husband.  I just don't get people.  

I felt like an idiot for looking but I'm not making videos of me lip syncing to Pat Benatar for crying loud.  I want to have friendships, relationships off of social media thank you very much.

Sounds like my cousin might have gotten the help for her pain this week.  I'm glad.  That sucks at how medical is up in the rural areas.  I'm not blaming the medical field.  I'm blaming the dumb ass politicians.

We had some wins.  We'll take it.

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....

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...

The Greed of Others

 It has exhausted me this year.  Inflation and greed.  It is killing me about the effect it's having on my mom.  She is so worried about a possible rent raise and us getting humiliated again. I'll see everything to get away from this landlord.  I really can't stand how selfish he's become. He had a conversation with me that he was raising the rent when it happened. I was shocked so all I could say was Ok and he would mail something.  Then he shows up when we have company.  He mowed the lawn but he had to add on when we had company.  He couldn't just put a stamp on the letter and let it go.  He had to talk about how hard he's had it.  My mom has said he ruined our Christmas last year.  I think it's because we thought they were nice kids when they moved in.  We thought oh, they seemed nice and we did worry when they bought the place.  We never dreamed that they would be so coldhearted with us and greedy. We know how landlord...
