Highlights for me as of January 10, 2025

 So here's some interesting highlights for January so far:

1 highlight as always is seeing it get lighter outside at 5pm on the dot, so basically 5pm goes from being 5 at nighttime back to 5 during the day. I also got an e-mail from Milwaukee Congenital heart defects letting me know when this year's Congenital Hear Walk was for this year. YES! It seems to me quite a few of the resorts up in the Wisconsin Dells are either getting or have gotten some new editions in their water parks put in, and I would love to see how it looks this year. This year they're renovating and expanding their indoor water park some more. NICE!! I really hope I get the chance to go there due to some opportunities that might come up because of my disabilities and that I get a chance to spend some downtime there, while I'm there. 

Also, I started watching this new show on TLC called "Baylen Out Loud". It's about a young woman who has Tourette's Syndrome and her special journey in life dealing with it. I never really talked about my feelings about the 2024 election, but I was pretty angry, depressed, scared and sick to my stomach that Donald Trump would get re-elected after all he has done the last time he was in office. I really think the way he became president in 2016 and 2024 wasn't legal. If he cheated by having Russia mess with our voting systems so he could get elected the first time, why not this time around, as well? At least this time around, we have a better idea of what we're dealing with, and I'm already seeing articles popping up on the internet talking about him getting impeached. If he does, I really hope they do the right thing and not only impeach him but convict him and have him removed from office! 

As for the Chinese New Year, this year is the year of the snake, ironically enough, when this is also the year that thing retakes office, illegally. But next year's Chinese New Year, is the year of the horse. Next year will also be the year for midterms. And a heard of horses could easily trample a snake. So, if we're even able to still vote by next year, hopefully, that thing will once again lose the House, which means we'll get a new speaker of the House. In all my years, I don't ever recall the Speaker of the House being a person of color. So, if the Republicans lose the house next fall, we could end up having Hakeem Jeffries as our new Speaker of the House. I think that would be pretty cool. 

I also recently got to go to the Field Museum and got to see this neat exhibit on there for a limited time about cats. If they ever have an exhibit there on killer whales, I know I would love to see that! 

Anyway, I'm also excited to be doing some disability advocacy work, this year.

Good stuff that's happened so far as of 1/5/2017

So what's happened so far, this year: 1. At the start of the year, got $500.00 to deposit into my account so that I have more money for the month to help me just get by. 2. 3 days later I got my new debit card in the mail 3. Might be getting a new job in Waukesha, real soon. (hope this one works out a lot better than my last one) 4. Days are getting longer and lighter out after 5pm. (of course you don't really notice it more until after the first 7 to 9 days of the month) 5. After this week and last week of temperatures being below 20 degrees outside, we're finally going to have a bit of a "January thaw out". Basically what's going to happen is after this week, temperatures are going to get back into the 20's and 30's. I can live with winter weather being in the 20's and 30's, but anything under 20 is too cold! 6. We've been invited to Minnesota to see some relatives. (Sure hope Jason can go, and that we can find someone to take car...

it's been a while

Ok, all I have to say, is that it's been a while since I've posted anything on here. LOL! I've just been busy with just trying to enjoy the summer as much as I could. I can't believe it's over now. I think it went by too fast, if you ask me. And one of my all time favorite holidays is coming up. That's right. Halloween. This last weekend, Jeremae and her boyfriend, Tim, finally got married, so Jason and I went up to spend some quality time with her. I really honestly wish she and Tim were living closer than they do. We could have so much fun doing so many fun things together. I mean, I'm just chalked full of ideas on what kind of things we could maybe do together. One idea is going to a club or bar somewhere in Milwaukee or something like that and dancing the night away, although we're now either in our late 20's and early 30's.  Especially when there's this one song I've been dancing to, called "Wobble Baby". Damn that song is ...

stuff

Well, tonight I'm hopefully going to be heading to my storage unit/Motel room/apartment that I'm suppose to be living in. As far as I'm concerned, it's just Friday and Saturday Night home away from home. I sure wish that when I'm over there I could have my computer and internet set up. Maybe that way I'd say there, more. But with my computer being at parent's house as well as the internet and cable access, and with the fact I have no Hot water in my apartment, it's the only thing that keeps me coming back to their house. What I've been wanting to do is go over the lyrics to Sarah Mclachlan's song, "Possession", and say what sounds kinda creepy, like not just something a stalker would say but someone who's abusive might also say, and just pick certain parts of the song apart to see if maybe that's what she means when she says certain parts in the song, like the chorus part, for example that goes, "And I would be the one to h...
