Last Week in Review - Graduation, Toxic Relationships and I Miss Stephen Colbert

 I miss Stephen Colbert this last week.  I love Jimmy Kimmel.  Don't get me wrong but Stephen seemed to have more interesting people come on his show than Tim Allen.  Happy to see he had Tom Hanks on his show though.  

I have been catching up on the Summer House drama.  I'm almost to Season 9 plus I have kept up on this year's reunions. I know these shows are crap but they're like my All My Children and General Hospital shows.  They're my stories.  They keep me from crying from real life.

I know there's a lot of graduating going on this past week for school.  Kind of feels like I graduated from the school of humiliation.  I really felt like I had an out of body experience in our last meeting.  I don't know what was wrong with me with my responses or how I appeared on camera.  I didn't know how to hide my emotions that I can't fake things.  I knew the Stomper knew something was up and tried to ask what was wrong.  When I tried to explain things without making any comments about my personal life, she totally missed the point and then responded to something that didn't make sense.  I think I just got exhausted from someone not listening to me and just wanted this time to be done.  

About 3 years ago, I got asked by the Stomper how I felt about a region we covered.  When you get asked by her, it's really a ploy to tell you that you're being moved.  I had some hesitation because I kind of liked the region that I had.  Regina was about to start and there was some shifting that she wanted to down with us.  The lurker would be taking over my region.  Sigh.  I just said sure.  The stomper went on about how perfect things would be now that the lurker would be in their expert area and Regina had experience in the lurker's current region.  Where was I?  Displaced.

That year, we had a little celebration amongst our bigger group. I had hit the accept button but since it was more than our group, I bailed when the time came. I thought why bother?  Months earlier, the Stomper had had a meeting with the region I covered with the lurker. I kind of felt the signs that something was going to happen and I was going to be out.  It was official. I got shoved to another area.  I thought this sucks.  

I got to like this new assignment and felt relieved when I started to get the hang of it.  The people were actually nicer and I didn't get any interference from the lurker for awhile.  I kind of sensed that the stomper was humoring me with my complaints about the interference.  She was the one who talked to me when I made mistakes and I knew it came from the lurker.  What a toxic situation. I'll be so glad when our last meeting will be over.  I'm hoping the new individual who will be part of my daily life will be there.  I think I'll refer to them as the Steady One.  Someone who's normal and thinks we should be treated equally.  That's not something I'm too familiar with these days.  

The Stomper is going to be in charge of Frick and Frack.  I think I cackled a few times at that notion.

I'm still a little concerned about Precious.  She seems to be doing well with the new food.  It's not that new.  She's had it before but this is actually going to be part of her daily diet.  She had one incident last night but it was pretty minor.  I love that little diva.  She did get me out of seeing the big Diva's vacation pictures.  Poor kitty. She's snuggled up by my mom in the recliner. I can hear purring from where I sit.

My mom is talking to my cousin.  I'm hoping she's doing well with her foot problems, this whole autoimmune disease is scary.  I think she's out there in the country by herself but her sister in-law will be taking her to an appointment tomorrow.  

I was hoping I'd see progress on the scale this morning.  Same.  It's ok.  It didn't go up.  Still a win. 

I had to turn off the TV.  I had CNN on and they showed that damn UFC thing.  I can't believe they're showing that trash.  I'm only keeping it until after the 3rd of July when Andy Cohen and Anderson do their early 4th of July show.  I hope MS Now gets their streaming network soon.  

I don't feel so sick about the week.  I don't feel like jumping for joy but I don't feel so bad.  

I hope it's a better week. I hope there's a better feel to my daily world. I don't ask for much but I really am asking the universe to change things for the better.  I earned it.

All the good humans deserve a better daily world.

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...
