A Practical Use of Time Spent Practicing Bass



Today I am thankful for all those hours I spent with my Peavy T-40 and my metronome. 



Today, I learned that I really kick ass doing CPR. I probably shouldn't talk about it publicly out of respect for the other party. 

Maybe all those hours of practice were intended to help me save someone some day.  It doesn't seem like a waste of time now.

It makes sense that the old bass would be the final birthday present given to me by my paramedic step-father.

Perhaps I should leave him some cigarettes and a shot of vodka at his grave site as a token of thanks.  

Love ya,

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Venus Meditations

  Today I am thankful for my new realization.  In my world, Friday is the day of love (reminds of The Cure - lol).  It's true.  Friday is the day of Venus.  Exhausted as I was after work, I went to my altar and lit a candle asking that my friend find whatever his life is lacking. Then I went upstairs and did my Friday night ritual to Aphrodite.  I lit a candle asking that I gain confidence in my ability to love.  I also ask that I recognize true love.  I was too exhausted to linger so I tried to fall asleep.  Have you been too tired to sleep?  It's horrible.  Your mind goes round and round -  you might recall things that happened recently (like the doctor telling me to be careful because I haven't hit menopause yet and I say, "not worried about it" while thinking that it's a good time to be in a sexual drought - hooray for me),  or things going on at work  (that I can hypnotize little cranky babies to sleep without sa...

Lit Up Phone (with edit)

  A good friend will never be the downfall of a friend.....ever.   I'd rather pretend to be gay,  Or admit to being asexual (which you don't tell men because they're convinced that they can change that).  Or hide my head in the sand.  I will NEVER condemn a man to hell.   Today I am thankful that my phone is muted.  I'm home  in quarantine  and trying to complete counseling licensure paperwork for the State of Colorado.  The bureaucracy is insane.  It was easier to get my name on the ballot.  I've spent the past five hours hunting down an emailed certificate of completion for a course I completed three weeks ago.  My webmail host must've eaten it.  Sigh.....  ***** I'm still feeling rough.  Tomorrow I find out if this is Covid,  or a cold.  This is nuts.  My liberal friends think I'm dying.  My conservative friends think I'm a sissy.  I'm just trying not to freak out my bos...
