Getting Closer

Onto the final countdown to staycation.  Do I feel like things will be tied up in a neat bow?  No way.  I'll do my best.  I think I'm doing better than expected. I found something I will watch when I'm off the grid - The Old Man came back to Hulu.  Foxy Jeff Bridges was on Stephen Colbert's show. I love Jeff Bridges.  He's way cooler than George Clooney.  I hope that they who has caused me stress and anxiety will not do that this week.  I am exhausted from that group that gets invested in hurting others.  Twisting words to make it look bad and putting you on trial.  I need a break from that. I just need a break.   Have a good day, good humans.  Give yourself a break.  

Do Something

I noticed that there have been women and maybe some young people outside the grocery store the last week or so and I thought no!  I have no money, people.  Then I saw the clipboards and wondered if they were registering people so when I walked past, a young woman ran up to me and asked if I am.  I refrained from your usual obnoxious self and yell I'm voting for Kamala and The Coach!  I said you better believe it.  I'm ready.  The ladies with her thanked me and I couldn't help myself. I said it. We're not going back.  The ladies busted out laughing.  The shy introvert turned into a ham and said it again.  We're not going back! Yeah.  I couldn't help myself.  It brought me joy seeing them.  It brought me joy laughing with them.  It was a nice moment.  

Shades of Betsy

My day was fine.  Could have been better, but had a couple of wins.  I thought I had two meetings and turned out to be none.  Win win.  Second one was with my old group and someone let me know it wasn't happening.  Good! I did get a little bruised this morning.  It was a message that reminded me of my days with Betsy.  I wasn't mad at the sender.  Sad maybe that they got put in the position.  When I saw it with my eyes, I knew who's finger prints were all over them.  Unreal.  I got upset for a moment but once I addressed it, I moved on with my morning.  What a shock that the culprit has not been around the last few days. I know how these things roll. It's something really small in the scheme of things when I saw it with my own eyes. I know what was presented.  I know how it got twisted. I know how someone like that has to be listened to and addressed because there will be further cries of unfairness.   It's just ...

Counting Down Tuesday

Another day closer to the annual staycation.  I can hardly wait.  Got a lot to do and will I get it done?  Probably not.  A for effort though. I have a few interruptions that will take me away from that effort. I don't mind but I am worried about the one this afternoon. I am worried that an owl will be there to observe anything I say or do.  I hope that's not the case.  We shall see. It appears that the monster is gone already.  I wonder what type of things he has to do in his new daily life that involves "gasp" working.  It seems like a home security company, I'm not sure.  That's someone I wouldn't want in my home securing anything. I know my mom is going to want to look and drive around for rent signs when I'm off and I'm ok with it.  I just can't see it happening right now and financially this is a bad time.  With my insurance going up, it's just been a mess since I got hit.   I never heard back from Secura after I com...

One Down, Well Too many to go

I made it unscathed.  Checkmark on Monday. I think some people are at some event so that may have helped me out today and maybe tomorrow.  I shall see, but it was a productive day. They who has made my life difficult were not present for the day.  I don't mean to speak cryptic.  I don't want to give them an identity because there's many people who are like this in life.  They have no identity.  They have a goal and it's to hurt others.  I have many casualty wounds from this person. I know what one of my to dos will be with my week off is figuring out how to change the battery on the Ring camera in the basement. I went downstairs to get a break and I figured it would be easy.  Nope.  Not so much.  My brother in-law is about 6 foot 1.  I am not that tall and it showed today as I tried to reach for it. I know there's a step stool but I thought I would maybe watch a couple of videos to make sure I got it right.  The monster and his...

Dread and More Dread

Yay.  Monday is here.  Boo!!!! Just want to keep my head down and get things done.  I don't want to be asked about anything.  I don't want to talk to anyone.  I just don't. I feel disheartened.  I feel betrayed again.  I feel humiliated.  Kind of that did that last part to myself.  Set myself up by showing my vulnerability. I don't like not trusting people. I want to trust.  I have trusted and have found myself on the receiving end of so many stabs in the back, I'm surprised I haven't been prescribed a sav for it.  Sigh. I am good at sticking up for others. I am not good at sticking up for myself.  Somehow it winds up getting flipped that I'm in the wrong. I'm not in the wrong.  I've been dealing with someone who plays games, spies, knows how to play people and kudos to them.  They win.  The lurker wins and all their friends.  I am not seeking any role in power.  I want peace.  I want to make it to...

Not Your Normal Sunday

We came home from grocery shopping and wow, the news kind of threw us for a loop. Do I think anything will happen with gun control?  Of course not.  We have some details but curious what this person was all about.  It's not always the obvious answer that people think it is. I got an alert on my iphone when I got up at 4 and saw that someone was in the basement.  I thought Oh, no, here we go.  I flipped it on and saw that it was the monster.  He actually used his own dryer.  And didn't touch anything. What a shock and I'm glad.  Use your own stuff, freak.  The wear and tear on using the machines don't help us.  It also proved to me that he has been down in the basement in the middle of the night.  All I better see is laundry with their machines. I suspect he was informed by a landlord when we mentioned getting a camera.  Or heard my brother in-law putting it in when he has here. Good.  Don't use our stuff.  How hard is...
