Wishful Thinking Moment

 I don't know if I would call this an impure thought.  It's a thought and I dislike when I drift off on those thoughts.  

I had thought about my crush, Jerry the dry cleaner the other day.  I wished that Jerry didn't have a Mr. Jerry and I wished that I could spend time with him outside of his work environment.

I get it.  Ethics, dry cleaner code.  I'm not talking about doing anything hot and heavy.  It's just this life I've had has been long and lonely and I have the feeling sometimes that he would be a really good friend.  A kind soul.  

I can't always find another dry cleaner.  I don't come across too many good humans.

Yeah.  I'm a slut pig for thinking that.  I'll go back to thinking about the mystery running man who ran past me two weekends in a row.  When he's coming back?

Wishful thinking can really suck somedays.

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...
