The tough buy clothes online. There were sales, and I took advantage of them. Bought a new "all weather jacket" that looks like the one I love, which is getting ragged. Pants, long-sleeved T's, a pull-over sweater. All of which I can wear to work in the weeks ahead. I had depressed myself on Sunday when I discovered over sixty percent of my pants did not fit.
Losing weight during a pandemic and perimenopause is very difficult.
I've removed the phrase "just saying" from my vocabulary because I decided it is rude.
I'm thisclose to giving up on my soap opera again. I'm hanging in there for the sexy and hot fifty-something spies.
Work? Eh. I'm dreading tomorrow. I find management easier to deal with - when I can hang up on them by accident.
Irritable - I think hormones or well...
House issues?
I bought mouse traps. I keep worrying about the brown mouse I saw scurry across the living room the other night. I can't figure out if it was a mouse or a rat. I'm almost 85% certain mouse.
Also bought roach baits - which bugs eat, and it kills them and their entire nest. But getting more at the pharmacy is problematic. The weirdest things are missing: roach killer, ice cream, and laundry detergent.
Super is supposed to pop up at some point to check out broken faucet in kitchen sink - which mysteriously broke for no good reason. It works, it just comes out at high volume now, because the filters came out. I wonder if I have a ghost that is mysteriously breaking and fixing my sinks? If so, I wish it would caulk my bathtub.
It's getting later earlier and earlier, and darker later and later in the morning hours - in short, the days are starting to shrink. It makes it harder to get up in the morning. I get up between 5:45 am and 6:30 am.
I'd prefer 7 -7:30 am. But alas, work won't let me.

I had something I wanted to write about, but I can't remember what it was.
Mother got the Moderna booster shot last night. And was in excruciating pain around 2 Am in the morning. For a bit she wondered what she'd done wrong and if it was a set-back, then realized it was most likely a side-effect of the vaccine.
We had a nice long chat this afternoon (post work and walk) about West Side Story. The new movie looks really good - more importantly, we agreed, it appears to have fixed various problems in the original. As mother put it - the leads were miscast. Even the actors agreed they were completely miscast - and neither wanted to be in the movie. Beemer (who played Tony) hated the movie and his role/performance in it so badly - that he boycotted the premiere and refuses to discuss the film or reunite for it. The new film, fixes that - by hiring an actor for Tony who is age appropriate, a singer and dancer, and plays it as a street tough. Maria is played by an actual Puerto Rican. And they went in the opposite direction of Wise's film in that they cast mostly unknowns. It also fleshes out the script and provides more of a back story for the characters. I really want to see the new film - it looks really good. I may get up the guts to see it in a movie theater.
Wales: Want to go to Greenwood Cemetery - that's near by.
Me: I'm bored of Greenwood Cemetery, we could try Prospect Park.
Wales: I don't want to go to Prospect Park...we need to think more on this.
Me: Okay you are bored of Prospect Park (which is odd, since I don't think she goes there?) and I'm bored of Greenwood....
I am bored of Greenwood. I got burnt out. I realized finally that I'd taken pictures of the same statues five or six times.
Today I was second-guessing my life choices again. I blame social media for this tendency and my workplace. And the lack of a social life. After being beautiful all day long, I see storm clouds rolling in. It better not rain tomorrow.
It does no good to second-guess one's life choices.
Super came - he doesn't wear a mask. I am. Because. I'm not making him wear one. He's a bit gruff, and has issues with the mask. I've given up on that sort of thing - did about six or seven months ago. One does.
