street blogging

So here I am in my car hoping the battery on my laptop holds out until I am done with this post. I am using the free wireless from the library which is closed. Luckily it's not 100 degrees outside right now. I'm begging the higher power for a calm after this storm. I am almost done with classes. I start my extern soon. Steve started a job and everything should be great. Instead I am going nuts. The Dr wants me to come off of prozac, because she is really old and thinks that if I quit smoking and I take the kids for a walk outside I will get better. Super!
We are getting notices left and right and I feel like I need to make some kind of list of what is the most important - what should be paid first when money starts coming in - and how long we have to live this way before we can have some normal stuff back. I won't bore you with that list here, but it will be a very very long list.
We need a baby sitter after these first 2 weeks of Steve working and I am not ready for the kids to go back to school or to finish my school yet. I hope the next 5 weeks are very productive and I can concentrate on extern when it gets to that point. I'm nervous about coming off of my meds, I am supposed to do it slowly, but for now I am taking the 20 mg that I was already taking until I run out then I will start taking the 10mg for a week then 10mg every other day then I will be done. By that time I will have new insurance and I will have a new Dr, and I will have to start this process all over again -most likely. But hey maybe I will be good without them. Who knows? Well the warning popped up so no time for spell check. from the street in front of the library - be back soon. Hopefully from my couch with my own internet.

Have a Good Day!

-
Earlier this week I went to pump gas and all I had was cash so I had to go into the store to pay. The young man behind the counter was polite and the transaction was quick. Because I was fresh from work I ended the short conversation by saying "Have a good day!" in my best customer service voice and his response was "Alright." It struck me as odd, mostly because his inflection was of someone being given directions and agreeing to follow them in a half hearted and resigned way. Maybe no one else told him to have a good day so he hadn't thought about it, and then he felt like he should just because I told him to with such enthusiasm. Does it make your day in any way if someone tells you, "Have a good day!" Is it an annoyance, or do you even notice those little polite sayings when you are busily running through your day?

HOLLYWOOD - The American Nightmare

I have so much to say, I hope I can organize my thoughts here into something that makes a little bit of sense. Keep in mind this is not a news blog, this is an opinion blog. So, what I have to say is based on what I have heard, and how it has made me feel. For me this storm of debauchery began with the #metoo campaign. Watching all of the women I know pour out their experiences to support each other and put it out there that we are not alone. I appreciate all of you in your bravery and openness. The many allegations against Harvey Weinstein became the focus shortly after that, letting us know that even celebrities are not exempt from the shit we all have to go through as women. We also saw that it takes a lot of women standing together to be taken seriously and if you are not the "right type" of woman, you might as well keep it to yourself until someone more reputable shines a light on the asshole who hurt you. The Courtney Loves and Rose McGowans of the industry were not...

A Book Review: The Rules of Magic, by Alice Hoffman

I picked up this audio book because it was Reese Witherspoon's Book Club selection for the month. I didn't realize it was a prequel to Practical Magic until I was ready to click "order," and I could not have been more excited to read it. I LOVE that movie. So much so that I had everyone in my wedding walk out to a song from the soundtrack for that movie. I love that my niece is named Jillian because of that movie. (I mean I love it because of that, not that she was named that because of the movie....or was she? little Jillybean!) That movie was where I discovered Joni Mitchell and Stevie Nicks.. Talk about a great soundtrack! All of this to say, I was thrilled about this book. Practical Magic follows the lives of Gillian and Sally Owens and The Rules of Magic gives us more Owens family history with a look into the early lives of the Aunts that raise Gillian and Sally after their parents fall victim to the Owens curse. Most of this review is based on the assumpti...
