The Invisible Woman Chronicles

I woke up this morning from a really weird dream.  I think I was in San Diego and I was getting off the elevator with my stuff when I was greeted by a bunch of people.  Harold was in the group. I think a classmate from school was there too.  When I got settled into my hotel room, Harold was sitting next to me on the bed and showed me a ring.  He whispered, I'm going to marry you.  Here's the funny part, his wife came into my room carrying a suitcase.  I whispered I love you before she came in. Then they all left.  I showed up at some event that they had late and sat at a table with Harold and his wife and some of their friends.  I didn't sit near them. I watched them as they were being celebrated by someone.  I think it was a faith event which sounds insane because Harold is probably an atheist.  Weird. What does it mean?  I have no idea.  No. I don't love him.  I think his wife would beat the snot out of me if I ever even...

Yesterday, we met up at our usual time.  The diva and her new bestie presented the project that they're working on and presented to the group.  It was nice.  I kind of suspected the bestie did the heavy lifting.   There is a part where it was mentioned that they would be recruiting others to help on the project or get their ideas.  I thought welp.  Leaves me out.  The diva will make sure I stay out of it unless she's forced into it.  I really hope that it doesn't get forced.   Thanks for thinking of me, but have you met the diva?  She won't like it and will make sure I don't get to say a word either.  It really sucks that I get treated like this.  I help someone and they walk over me.  I get treated like I'm weak in public situations by her and it pisses me off but I have to watch my words because the diva is an actress and the tears might flow.  I'll look like the worse person in the world.  I've been ...

I think I'll be ok by lunch time.  Yeah, yeah, meeting with the artist formerly known as the stomper this morning.  Let this be painless and let me not get mad at her not listening to me when I answer her questions. I really tried. I really tried to understand and show grace to the stomper.  Funny thing is that I'm the last person who trusted the stomper.  I showed a lot of grace.  I think it's because we were at the same level initially.  Sometimes when a person rises above that level, they really do think they're above you. Years ago, one of our law clerks came back to work with us as an attorney. I was excited to see her because we were friendly and I went to her going away lunch.  Initially she was really decent to me.  Later?  She was rude and really didn't want to people in my position.  I heard her make a comment to her assistant about how touchy we all are.  I thought don't speak for me.  I saw her on more the one occas...

I will not be dripping on the sidewalks of West Allis today.  No thanks.  I'm over this month. August brings more hot weather but it sometimes teases us with a little cool weather.  Fall teasers and I'm here for it.  I know September and October can have hot days but it's not as often as good old sticky July.  I'm always happy to dump this month.  Bye bye. I'm full of anxiety and I don't know why. I missed a day and I don't think it'll be a big deal.  I think I'm just nervous about tomorrow.  I don't want to deal with the stomper anymore.  I'm doing better and actually feeling ok about things. I got asked about our group dynamic and I did say yeah.  Things weren't great due to one person who is no longer here but I think it has improved.  Does the diva still irritate me?  Yes.  Do I think Regina is going to the new person to make shady comments about me and others?  Yes. I don't think it'll be handled the same way as ...

 I didn't realize we were under a heat advisory today.  I thought it was for tomorrow.  My mistake.  No wonder I felt like my clothes melted onto me this morning.   I wanted to go back to the pet store in Glendale this morning and I didn't realize it didn't open until 10 so I walked down Silver Spring Drive on the mean streets of Whitefish Bay.  It was kind of quaint and really humid.  I was just looking at the businesses they had.  I looked up the nail place they had on my phone.  Too pricey.  I appreciated the bench I could sit down on and look for a moment. Glad when I got home and hopefully my choice of dry food for the Queen will be sufficient. Well boo!  I have to work a full week.  And the next couple of weeks.  Considering the weather today, I think I'm really ok with being indoors until this crap ends.  I even pulled the curtain in my room to keep the heat out because I think the central air is working o...

I did my walk in the afternoon. I drove to where I do my walk near Lake Michigan and I forgot something was going on when I saw that traffic was a lot.  It was some type of air show that's going on today as well.  I found a spot to park and I walked for about an hour. I saw a lot of people walking who would say hello to me and I did the same with a smile.  People were friendly and excited.  I watched a little bit of it when I got to the point where I could see.  There was some helicopter hanging over the water.  I could definitely hear airplanes going when I continued walking.  I didn't do the hill for obvious reasons.  Plenty of people parked with their chairs, food trucks, all type of things going on.  I did my walk and left. I noticed that Brady Street was closed off as well when I took city streets home. I forgot that it was probably Brady Street days.  I think there was a bike race going on in Riverwest.  Lots of things going o...

Looks like my mom is sleeping in. Sigh.  I am mad.  I'm not mad if that makes sense. I tried to wake her up at 9.  I thought she would get up but she hasn't gotten up.  I was going to do it at 9:30 but I thought screw it.  I'll try at 10 am. I thought I heard her up around 5 this morning. I was awake and looked at my watch.  I thought can't she sleep? I thought maybe she would be up when I finally got up around 5:30.  No.  She went back to sleep.  It made me wonder if she had a bad night of sleep so I can't fault her if she needs more time. No. I don't need to drive to the east side at this moment.  This is why I do leave early in the mornings because she really doesn't get up and around until after 10.  I normally get home around noon or beforehand and then whatever errands we need to do, we get it done in the afternoon so it's fine with me.   She wanted to go early and get it done.  That doesn't seem to be happening...
