What a freaking year this has been. And the topper - after COVID, Black Lives Matter, police being killed, etc. - now Mr. Sheeley is retiring as of August. So work is up in the air. I may need to retire ... or not.
The world is insane this year and of course, it will go down in history. I don't write about it because it's too freaking crazy and half of it isn't real. I know a lot of what's going on is being done to sway people's votes against President Trump in November. Who knows. I switched to Unaffiliated because I want nothing to do anymore with any party.

Still working from home because of this virus that everyone is afraid of. The insanity is all over the web so I won't even bother blogging about it.
The most awesome thing happened and that's why I am writing. I don't want to forget this AND I want to thank God because it's happening. Fr. McGivney has been approved or whatever it is they do, for the third miracle and he will be beatified. This man is already a saint to me. He helped me miraculously through a lot of my financial stuff. But my miracles are not the kind that would have helped his cause.
But the Vatican said ok and now he will be beatified. They will do it in Waterbury and I will do everything within my power to be there. I told Margaret she should come too even if she's a pagan and doesn't believe. It is something that will never again happen in my lifetime for me to see. So I'm praying she comes and then maybe, just maybe, her eyes will open and she will believe. I hope so.
Anyway I'm going to bed and I'll try to remember to write more often - I really should because that way I'll remember things.

So Jorge had texted last month saying he gave my number to Tiny. She finally called today. And texted, and texted. This could be a bad thing. She doesn't seem to remember from minute to minute and asks the same questions over and over.
First full week of working from home and I can get used to this. Everyone is staying away from everyone else. Governor says not more than 5 people can gather at once and have to be six feet from each other. Well Margaret and I will be doing our thing and I'm not sitting in the back seat.
All parks and stuff are closed but golf clubs are not and golfers are out there in hoards. Wtf.? Just like libraries are closed but liquor stores are not. Wow!
I still go to the post office and grocery shopping and walk the dogs. God will protect me and if now, I hope to see Him and my loved ones in Heaven.

And so it goes. We are in a full-blown pandemic. The entire world is. This will be in the history books someday. I am now working from home - my first day. Got someone who will bring me work orders probably once a week. We are supposed to have social distancing - a new phrase for a new virus. Not sure how he's supposed to hand me my work.
I have been continuing my life. As of today, all stores that are do not sell groceries are closed. There's no toilet paper to be found anywhere and people are fighting over it when they find it. The entire world has gone insane. Derby has its first case of the Corona Virus. Ansonia, Shelton, and Seymour have at least one each. All meetings everywhere are canceled - can't say that bothers me too much. LOL!! Schools are all closed and there will be no graduations.
Sam is still working because Dunkin Donuts and all restaurants can operate through drive-through or curbside pick up or delivery. But they have cut her hours.
I started my spring semester of school - English Lit and am on the second week. First week was easy. Now starts the harder part but what we have to read is awesome - a little Poe, Hawthorne, and other good poets and authors. Even Shirley Jackson's The Lottery.
I am trying to stay positive about all this. Margaret and I are doing our thing. We went to an awesome cemetery in Westfield on Saturday and next Saturday, weather permitting, we will go to another one.
Anthony brought us some protection in case the world get's wonkier. And if worse comes to worse, we will go up to his place.
Paul called me today because prisoners can receive no visitors during this pandemic and now have two free calls a week.

So the news is going around that Italy is going to let anyone over 80, with Corona virus 19, die. WTF? The entire world has gone mad. I will be going back to work Wednesday. Paulette said Bob is letting her work from home and they asked Pat if she could - don't see why she can't. I know I can and will if he suggests it. I checked and I can obviously close or put in work orders from home and I an do reqs from home - then I could email them to Pat or wherever. Paulette went in today and said there's hardly any clericals on campus. I would love to work from home.
I did meet up with Rob from the Grange today at Ion Bank. We were supposed to get me on the checkbook but he didn't bring all the paperwork needed. So we are going to try again on Saturday.
As of tonight -- all restaurants, pubs, bars and casinos in CT, NY, and NJ (other states too but these are ours) will be shut down. Grocery stores will be open minimal hours. I am so glad I've pretty much always been a prepper - although not big time. I have enough food and supplies to last a few weeks and will try to get what I think we will need as the time comes.
The world really is pretty much shut down. It bothers me a lot that the churches - most of them - have closed down. I know I don't go like I should, but that doesn't matter. A Catholic church should never, ever close down.. :(

The Ides of March 2020
I wasn't posting about this, but it will be in history if there are any people left to read about it. Corona Virus 19. The entire world has pretty much shut down. Schools, bars, restaurants, municipal buildings, CHURCHES, and so much more. I don't know what to say about it. If I forget, I can look it up. I am not afraid that I will get it. But if I do, I am considered in the danger zone because I am considered elderly. But I think my immune system is pretty good. So I don't know. I know I'm not living my life in fear.
I'm not sure about work yet. They made us stay home three days this week. I have tomorrow and Tuesday off for my birthday. Not sure what will be going on Wednesday.
I'll continue as I think of stuff to say.

Allen, where are you? Can you hear me or see me? Do you know I still love you? That I always have and always will?
I can't believe that tonight, at 10:00, it will be 50 years since we started dating. I remember that if you hadn't asked me to the dance by 10 p.m., I was going to go out with Paul, even though I was madly in love with you. I figured you just weren't interested in me. But you made the deadline even though you didn't know there was one. And I was the happiest girl alive. We were so young - I was a month short of 18 and you were a month older than 16. I never regretted the decision to say yes. Not even when you left me. My only regret is that I wasn't good enough for you and that I wasn't allowed to say goodbye before you died. But I still love you. How pathetic is that? I hope you are in Heaven and happy and with my parents and yours ... and Pino. I hope I get to see you again someday.
I love you.

Changes. I had decided that family isn't blood. Family is who chooses to love you and you choose to love. Seriously. Lindsey had a reveal party and I wasn't invited. Neither was Tony's sister, but still. Wtf? I have no interest in people who have no interest in me.
Our 50th class reunion is in September and I plan on being out of town. I went to Derby High School, not Seymour High. It's at Villa Bianca because, according to Tee, there's nowhere in Derby big enough to hold it. All I can say is wow. I mean we used to have them at the AM club and that was fine. Half the class is dead. I don't know what she's expecting. But I will be out of town.
And I found out I really am a senior citizen. I mean I knew it and I use it for all kinds of discounts. But when I tried to pay my late book fines at Derby Neck for my Derby Public book, he said Derby Public doesn't charge late fees to seniors. LOL!!
The latest books I have out are Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs and High Voltage by Karen Marie Moning.

Sammy Dove turned 24 yesterday. Unbelievable. We went up Diana's on Sunday for cake. so
Today I came home from work, came into my room and found Suga dead on my floor. No reason why. He was doing fantastic. You even forgot he only had three legs. He looked like he didn't suffer but was stretched out on the floor neFiar my closet door. We took him right to River Valley and they will check him to see if they can see what happened and they will have him cremated.
When we got back, Mayor came into my room and walked straight over to where I found Suga and was sniffing around. How did he know? A little later, Manny did the same thing. He wasn't in the room when Mayor did it but he walked right over to that corner and sniffed. Finally, a little while ago, Cody - who never comes near me, walked right by me and straight to the spot where Suga died and sniffed around. Then followed me to the bathroom and was all over me. Somehow they know and maybe they're mourning? I don't know. I just know I'm going to miss the little PITA very much.

Edmond died yesterday. He had leukemia for two years and it was inevitable. But what was very wrong was that none of them notified us. None. Of. Them. I happened to click on a notification of Gary's and there it was. A nice memorial thing for Edmond. Amid all the condolences I wrote, "WTF? I had to find out on FB?" This morning my comment is no longer there. I called and told Rita - she didn't know. I called Madelene - she didn't know. But she wouldn't since she was a bigger outcast from the family than I was. I'm a little pissed right now.

Started reading The General's Women, by Susan Wittig Albert. About Eisenhower and his wife and girlfriend. Based on a true story.
Also picked up my second sock that I am trying to make. Made the first one years ago and started the second. Sam and I both bought Ipods so now I can use Knit Companion again. I was able to start working on the sock right where I left off.
Classes are going well. I really like Abnormal Psychology.
And - ta da! - Lindsey is going to be having a baby girl sometime around July.
I finally used my Pressure pot xl or whatever it's called. I made artichokes and they came out great. Now I'll be using it for other things. That's another thing I had sitting unused for months.
Oh! Twisted Vine restaurant will be on Kindred Spirits this Friday. I'm excited to see what they got. The Lion's club is having our after the holidays holiday get-together there next month.

It snowed last night and a little into this morning. I didn't want to shovel off my car or go to a late Mass so I missed my first Mass of the year. I hope I don't make a habit of that. I went on January 1st and every Sunday since. Been going to St. Mikes because it's right here.
But I did finish my first week of Abnormal Psychology. I'm off tomorrow and have to bake cookies in my toaster oven/air fryer because the oven has gone completely wonky. I might just make boiled cookies as long as they harden. If they don't, I will have to bake six or eight cookies at time in the air fryer. I need two dozen for the cooking club on Wednesday and another couple of dozen for the Lion's Club after that for a pot luck. Ugh!! LOL!!!
I will also try to pack a bin of seasonal stuff to bring to Margaret's to store in her basement until I need it. It's a shame I can't use my own basement, but it's so bad down there that everything molds. I am trying to free up some room around here.
And I hope to start my next unit in class. With any luck tomorrow will be a productive day.

And she keeps on going. No matter how many times I ask Roseann to stop, she just keeps going. I really believe that she was never a friend although I know in her heart she thinks she was. How can someone be your friend and be so toxic to you? I didn't even bother to read the last email. I'm sure it's really nasty especially since in my ending email I mentioned her doing this often and how she didn't talk to me or Allen for 10 years and missed the birth of my kids. I could have gone further and said remember giving Allen a black eye and remember literally kicking me out of your car? But I didn't. I just wanted it to stop. It's not so I just sent her emails right to the Unwanted folder. I am not answering this last one. I'm not even going to read it.
I did unfriend her from Facebook, along with Denise who hasn't posted to me since summer maybe? And Craig (Mr. Greyrider) whose ever post is anti Muslim, anti Democrat, anti this or that. I am very over all the negativity showing up on my page. And I'm over people who don't respond ever to me.

I was hoping this new year would be a positive one but it seems to be spiraling downward and it's only 13 days into it. First the car and now Roseann. I simply can't deal with her anymore. She is roaring mad at me because I didn't tell her Donna Pyz has cancer and has been dealing with it for years. Why in the hell should I tell her or anyone else? And Roseann couldn't even remember that Donna went to high school with us.
Maybe I am self-absorbed like she says I am. Who the fuck knows? I honestly don't care. I've lost too many friends lately and it doesn't bother me so that's a little scary. I don't mean by death but by them dumping me. Apparently,I am supposed to be whatever others want me to be except for being myself.
I guess myself isn't a very good or very nice person. I don't plan on changing though. I do what I can and the best that I can and if it's not good enough - oh well.

God answers prayers. James Aho, pedophile and general asshole, was sentenced to 50 years in prison today, suspended after 35. So that's 35 minimum - making him 78 when he gets out. Diana and the girls can breathe easy now. And the rest of us can too.
Worked 1.5 hours OT today and yesterday. Want to pay off bills and get ready for the cons and stuff.
Joined Yarnable from Hypnotic Yarn. It's $40/month with shipping but you get a skein of hand-dyed yarn and other goodies. I need to get my but in gear when it comes to working on my stash. I have yarn all over the place. But I love it!

Did a load of laundry in our little portable washer. That should be all my stuff that needs washing right now. Then I got ambitious and took Manny and Mochie (did I write about Mochie?) for a walk. Just to St. Mike's and back.
Oh yea, I went to 8:00 Mass at St. Mike's this morning. It's so easy just to walk over there. I hope to go every week and eventually back to St. Mary's. But St. Mary's keeps changing hours and stuff and I can't keep up.
They gave out little kits at Mass - with incense and chalk and directions to bless your house and write the stuff in chalk over your front door. I did do that.
Someone posted this link and I'd love to remember this stuff. Hopefully the link will stay live so I can:

Hm. Very strange but the link does work.
So now I think I"ll take a tiny nap until Sam calls to say she's ready to be picked up. Then I'll see what's what.
Oh yea - those 20 pounds I had lost since starting WW two years ago? 12 of them are back. I need to get back on track. I have sausage legs again. Argh!

I went to New Morning Market and Market 32 today. Bought a mess of stuff. I love New Morning Market for their cool stuff.
Susan, Ian, and I went to M.A.G.s, in Seymour, to see Heather Stearn's son sing in a Led Zeppelin tribute band. Boy, can he sing!! Unfortunately, we had to leave at their break because Ian couldn't stay so we missed all the songs I know. It's ok, I'll definitely be seeing them again. They are called Presence CT.
What is up with all the missing children lately? It seems like one goes missing every single day that is posted that I see. It's scary. And shootings. Cops in Ansonia had to shoot a guy who was coming at them with a knife - they killed him. This was yesterday. A little while ago there was a shooting on 8th Street near where Lou used to live. I have no clue what is going on lately. :(

Three days into the new year and decade. Today I brought Margaret to get her eye checked. Then to pay the rent. Then we went to lunch and Walmart and Five Below and Rite Aid and Adams. Phew! No time or energy to do anything at home but take a short nap when I got back. I've been bringing Sam into work at 5:30 a.m. lately, which is fine, but does kind of leave me exhausted.

January 2, 2020
All is well - thank God!
Margaret came and got me and we went up to the surgical place. I waited there while she had her eye done. I drove us to my naturopath's to get my long-needed orthobiotics and GI repair powder. Then we went to IHop and came here. She was able to drive home from here.
I brought the car up the street -- there was enough air in the tire for that. The wonderful guy, Alex, only charged me $50 for the used tire and labor. I will be buying my new tires from him next month - only around $120 per tire including labor.
Then I went to Derby Public Library to register for the winter reading club. It's one of those stupid bingo's this year but I don't care if I win prizes. I just enjoy being a part of it and then the end party with Stacy's munchies.
Sam has been cleaning like crazy - her room and the living room. Hopefully she'll keep it that way. I've been working on my room and the kitchen a little at a time. I have nowhere to put anything.
And apparently nothing bounced this time around so I have a few dollars left over. Hope to keep it that way. I did work some overtime so my pay was a hundred or so more than usual.
That's it!!

A great start to the year. I went to 8:00 Mass at St. Mike's. Ended up receiving Communion from Sandy. It was a little awkward for me but ok. I miss hanging out with her. Just don't miss her toxicity. She was fun to be around and a good person except for that. And for wanting every Saturday of my life.
So then I bring Sam to work and stop for gas and going up the driveway I thought I totaled the car. I scraped the entire passenger side - both quarter panels and a little of the door, against the stone wall. It's ok though - very driveable. But no longer new. When I picked Sam up from work, a guy stopped me when I got out of the car. Pointed out that my back tire on the passenger side is almost completely flat. Got Sam and stopped at Midas Muffler. Guy put air in it and then showed me it's hissing out. Need to get a used tire for now but both Town Fair Tire and the place down the street are closed.
Should be interesting. Tomorrow (and Friday) I am off and now Margaret has to come to get me and drive us to her eye surgery and then drive me home. Argh!
Then Manny got pissed because I was taking stuffing off his face when he was playing with a toy and he bit me. He didn't break skin but my hand hurts like hell. He's not in good with me right now.
So the book I am reading right now is Wormwood the 17th book in Susan Wittig Albert's China Bayles series. I will try to remember to list them either like this or the old way.
I still think starting out the new year (and decade) by going to Mass was a great idea and hopefully I will continue going on Sundays and holy days.
