So yesterday I went to vote, I was actually by myself for awhile as it was a long process. My stomach was in knots but I stayed. I am one of those folks who is not fond of Scott Walker. I don't want to get in a big discussion about it, I am just telling you about my yesterday. I fell asleep early so I didn't even make it to see who won the election. I knew in my heart it was going to be Walker. Our school system is going to have to tolerate mass destruction before people see that teachers should have rights and contracts. You would think that parents would want good qualified teachers, like my sister.
But enough of that. Last night my friend Sean posted about how this election really hurt a lot of friendships and families, and maybe the old saying is true, never talk about religion or politics.
Sean is right. I can't stand some people I love right now, but I guess I am with Sean. It is over for now, no more talk about it. I am sick of fighting with friends and family. Shopping is hard for me, I don't need the added stress of being annoyed by loved ones.
Ironically on a totally different topic I have a friend named Sarah, we are just online friends but she is one of the most amazing people I know. Today on one of her video blogs she brought up the things you never talk about, which her list was religion, abortion, and politics. Yet another pretty good list, if you want to keep friends. I am really not sure what "drama" she was blogging about, Sarah is very tactful. The main purpose of her message was for people to stop being negative, and to keep your foundation strong. When I say foundation I don't literally mean foundation, like where your house is sitting. I mean your roots, your people, those who ground you and lift you up. Essentially Sarah was talking about community.That is a topic we should all think about and work on. I know it is something I have talked about in my blog before. Sarah you make me think, and you make many people think. You are an inspiration.
My meds are still not regulated. I went to a car show/church festival with my fam on Sunday.
I got totally nervous walking any where by myself, and I started having a full blown attack in the port a potty, I had to hold it till we got home. I did walk back and forth between the festival and the car show by myself a few times, so I am trying. I need to make an appointment with Doctor Bob. I
am sure he must miss me. I am just not sure if I can make it to the appointment by myself and that is going to be a huge back slide I don't want to see.
My NUMMY tip for the day. Vitamin Water Zero, which is ZERO calories and so very yummy.
Throw it in the freezer for awhile and it turns into a yummy slushy with no calories!!! YAY!!!
Love and Light.
Everyone has days or times when the go backwards instead of forwards. You have keep pressing on.
ReplyDeleteThanks Oh Divine One : )
ReplyDeleteYou are still trying. You may have panic attacks but you still get out there - that is the important thing. You aren't sitting at home saying woe is me. Baby steps and remembering when you do go to events like that it is a giant step and you may need to step one or two baby steps.
ReplyDeletePolitics. The good thing that came out of the recalls and upheaval at this point is that the dems now control the senate (unless something has changed I haven't heard about). This means that everyone will be forced to work together. It sure isn't going to help me with the pay cut and extra medical bills I now have thanks to the changes but maybe it will help going forward. Somehow I think Walkerville will be worse than hicksville.
