Welp. Another Year

 I don't feel old or sad.  I feel tired.  Ok, maybe that does sound like an old person.

Molly Ringwald's character has nothing on me when it comes to birthdays.  At least she got the hot guy at the end of the movie.  All I get is Kohl's Cash.  I do love Kohl's cash.

I had to pick up an order yesterday that I used my Kohl's cash with and found myself wandering in the sneaker aisle trying on a different pair of Adidas.  I have moved onto hoarding Adidas sneakers. I am a shoe freak damn it.  Just moved to a different area and period of shoe freakiness, I guess. 

I have some Cariuma sneakers and I wanted to see what they had on their website a couple of weeks ago.  I would basically have to use the K Mart layaway special to buy them or the new version - Klarna.  I was curious and surprised to see their website was down.  They've been sold or basically don't do business anymore.  That sucked.  I really like my Cariumas.  I have been looking at websites for sneakers that are similar.  Some of the prices are super outrageous.  Of course I like them damn it.  I need to find more budget friendly ones so maybe that's why Adidas is replacing my Cariuma shoe fixation.

I was shocked to see the news alert about Haley Stevens endorsing Mike Rodgers.  Maybe not, but still, two days before the election. I think it just banded the Democrat voters and party together.  I watched a lot of Dr. Sayed's interviews.  He's a good communicator and he doesn't pull punches or dance around the issues.  I'm so sick of politicians like that.  I want to see him grill RFK Jr in a Senate hearing.  

I'm rooting for of course, David Crowley, Abdul El Sayed, Dr. Annie Andrews, Adam Hamilton, James Talarico (I would be a proud Talafreako), Angie Nixon, Peggy Flanagan, Sherrod Brown, Roy Cooper, Jon Ossoff, Scott Colom, Jamie Davis and many more.  I want to see the blue freak flag fly tomorrow.

It was the sleep thing that was on my list of issues that pissed me off yesterday.  It was "suspected" and I get it.  I get it!  He didn't know and maybe I should have had it checked out.  I don't know. I was getting over a sinus infection and I've been dealing with some sinus issues. I just don't feel like I have it.  I think seeing that reminded me of how dismissed I felt.  I'll deal with it if the subject is brought up and maybe there's a better solution. I don't know.  Just want to be onto the next chapter.

It doesn't feel like my birthday in some ways, but it is.  What do I wish for?  I wish for the Senate and House to be taken back by Democrats.  I might feel better about life in some ways.

Still wish for that one friend.  That one friend who would maybe bring over tacos today or just send me a text.  It doesn't take much to make me happy and yet, it just feels like the whole world thinks I'm invisible.

Just want to be seen.  In a good way.

Here's to 58

Bad Mood Recipient

 I better not be the recipient of anyone's bad mood when I sign in tomorrow.  I might look forward to the dentist in the afternoon if I got to deal with that in the morning.  The diva put up her doctor's name and location of her appointment.  I felt like I violated HIPPA without even trying.  I'm not sharing my location.  Mind your business.  Someone said they were going to the dentist and she replied, I love clean teeth.  Well, I would hope we all like clean teeth.  What a weird person.  The thirst for attention is real.  No shock on the former cheerleader revelation. Today I had a bit of a better day with Honey Bear.  She slept on my bed for most of the afternoon.  I was shocked.  I fell asleep for awhile.  I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn't go back to sleep. I took something and I hate that it makes me sleepy during the day.  I hate that I asked to have my milligrams reduced because I sai...

Not the Good Rain

I knew there would be rain but not the heavy kind.  Yeah that kind of sucks.  I will go out in it though to go do my errands and ShopKick.  I'll see how the morning plays out. I still didn't get a response from my insurance agent.  This just irks me.  I worried maybe I'd get a call when I was at the dentist or in meetings where I couldn't answer.  Nope.  No worries there.  Sigh.  They better call on Monday.  I'd like to know what my choices are and if they are higher than what I'm paying.  Is that too much to ask?  Apparently.  My mom asked if I could speak to the guy that runs the agency.  I told her No.  He just tells one of his agents to contact me and then they're mad at me for contacting the big guy.  I got my car insurance policy years ago with his dad and although the son is nice, he is definitely not his father.  I might have to look at other options if the insurance is too ridiculous. I don't k...

A Tale of Two Assistants

This week I heard from a co-worker from the office wishing me a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  That was nice. I liked Kallie.  I had to do a double take when I saw the names on the email.  Irma, Frick and Frack, my old manager.  Gross and gross.  I knew where this was going. The emails flew in about how everyone misses each other and merry Christmas.  My manager sent a picture of a baby and I guess she became a grandma.  There were a lot of things I wanted to say but silence was my only option. Kallie had left our company after she got promoted and then came back. I was surprised.  I had one interaction when I helped out her group and she said hello.  We exchanged pleasantries but really haven't said much to each other since.  The Thinker used to be in Kallie's group and I said if there was one person that was good to work with, it was Kallie.  I mean it, too. Kallie and I went to two different places even though it was the sa...
