Another week has gone by...
And I am still at the house. And I am at the point of just accepting things right now.
This pandemic is NOT my fault is my constant mantra. And I think it is sinking in.
You know what felt good this week? It is that I have my work review coming up and I had a FULL page of accomplishments. A full page. I got work done while teleworking. And that made me feel good indeed.
Also, I had some good meals this week. I am working on my meals being 75% vegetables. Not sure how that is working out. All I can do is TRY.
Happy 50th Birthday! Two Icons celebrate birthday #50 this week...
Mary J. Blige and Regina King!
Glory!!
Song of the Week. I haven't been listening to to much music, as my eyes have been glued to the television like everybody else. All this ish going on is BANANAS. Ugh.
Anyway, more Busta Rhymes... with Bell Biv Devoe
I meant to post my Christmas dinner for last year. It has been on my mind because it was unusually simple.
And I was alone.
I made two pans of dressing.
Ten thoughts! On a Tuesday!
1. The plot thickens with this whole siege on the US Capitol. Things are much deeper than we thought.
2. It has been an extremely dreary day in the ATL, one of those days when I wonder if the sun will ever shine again.
3. I had a two hour class today, and it was the longest, most boringnest two hour class EVER. I believe I walked off a couple of times. Played on my phone. Even put it on mute and watched TV. When I came back in at the end and was actually paying attention, something about homework was mentioned.
Homework???
4. I had to list out all my accomplishments for my year end review today. Sigh. Interestingly I had a page of accomplishments. Not sure how that happened. I know one thing though: my major accomplishment was to live to see 2021. Have mercy. Amen.
5. On my midyear review in July of 2020, my boss said "You've done a very good job!"
6. My response... "Sir, what the world are you talking about? I been at the house for four months!"
He laughed.
I didn't see anything funny.
7. I got a couple hundred bucks and 20 hours of time off for how great I did. Okay Sir, I will take your word for it. I won't forsake a blessing. *ladylee snatches money and time with the quickness*
8. Where's this fly guy? Where's Damien from Omen III, I mean Jared?
That dude... SMH... that's who has me worried.
9. Whoever came up with this combo must be a pure genius.
Whew wee! This year has started off with a bang. Literally.
My sister called me on January 6th, and ask if I was alright. It was about 1:30 pm in the afternoon, and I'd just finished up a workplace zoom meeting. I turned on the television and the folks at the capitol were breaking in. Ugh.
"Lisa, are you alright?" my sister asked.
"Girl don't nobody care about that! Damn them rioters! We took the Senate!"
"Oh, right," she said.
THAT was the big news to me that day. The state turned completely blue. The state went blue for the presidential AND the senate. Who would have thought that could happen. That was like threading a needle. And it was completely overshadowed by the terroristic activity at the US Capitol.
They couldn't' even celebrate their wins, with the mess and the covid going on. But that ain't all that important right now. Georgia is BLUE.
Then the president called and tried to shake down our Sec of State. And that didn't work out well at all.
Then the weekend came and we saw what was happening, with all the cellphone footage. This "insurrection" (gee, a new pretty sanitized word), is much much deeper than it looks. Man oh man, this felt like an inside job. Will we ever know?
This could have been super tragic. SUPER tragic. I really think they came to hurt some folks, or worse.
I mean, they constructed some gallows at the Capitol.
Ands someone brought a guillotine to the Arizona Capitol..
Ugh. You got to be real entitled and crazy to bring a guillotine out.
January is going to be a long month. The goal right now is to get through the Inauguration.
The President said he wasn't attending the Inauguration. GOOD. Go wherever you are going to go. Go away.
And what's CRAZY is the shutdown of ALL his social media. ALL. Wow.
Even Pinterest. How do you get banned from Pinterest? Is there something going on on there that I don't know about? Because I usually just look up recipes on Pinterest. The president can't look up recipes? OH MY!
Let's get through this time.
Hopefully getting control of the pandemic will become of importance once the new administration takes over.
I pray it will.
