Scattered Tuesday

 I woke up later than usual and I guess it's never a bad thing if you get more sleep.  Not like I got to get in a car and drive on the freeway.  Thank goodness.

I have to find my mom's AARP bill and call to get her cash value emailed. I can handle that.  And change her eye doctor appointment.  I told her she has to talk to Charlie about the faucet.  I'm too afraid to and it's not his or Jeremy's fault.  Just worried about what will happen next.  If he can get a faucet, great!  If not, then I'm worried.

I finished my postcards for the New York primary.  I got stamps from the Environmental group that I've volunteered from.  They used to send me a 100 cards and now they upped it to 200.  Too hard to get that many stamps on that short of time.  I'm on a budget, people. I have cards for Postcards to Swing States but I don't have to mail them until mid October and I got time to build my stash.  Hopefully enough money. I'm trying.

I watched an interview with Dana Bash on CNN that irritated me.  She was interviewing Andy Kim who got pepper sprayed at Delaney Hall when he was trying to stop ICE from going after the protesters.  She asked him about Graham Planter who has his own scandal in Maine with the whole sexting thing.  When Andy told her he was worried about his people at the moment, she got snarky with him.  Hey Dana Bash.  You're a bitch!  Plain and simple.  This man cleaned up the Capitol after January 6th.  This man is actually trying to walk the walk and not talk the talk.  Just shut up with your gotcha questions thinking you're smarter than anyone else.  I can't stand her.  I'm sick and tired of people bashing Jill Biden and calling her selfish because Joe didn't drop out soon enough.  I think the people are right about the dropping out part.  We're in 2026.  How about we focus on getting candidates to win because we're in a nightmare right now?  Quit revisiting 2024!  I'd like to forget that election night! 

Sigh.  Enough of my political talk.

Only 9 more days of the stomper.  I am trying my hardest but I am getting more frustrated with her comments or asks.  I think of the time the stomper told me that I needed to be challenged more.  It's a hilarious statement.  I know people get stuck in their ways but I've always been that person to do as I'm told and take on the challenges. I don't argue.  I just do it.  I just feel like I've been dealing with someone who's been playing a role that they shouldn't be playing.  I gave a lot of grace and understanding.  The stomper did have some characteristics that the lurker had early on that worried me.  I think my initial instinct was correct.

Oh well.  I should start my day.

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....

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...
