The Woman in the House Across from the Girl in the Window is such a great series. There’s only one series so far and eight episodes, but it’s damn good. I’m watching it on Netflix.

My back is still hurting big time. So glad today’s cleaning and cooking are done!

Damn, I really have to slow down the eating! I’m going to gain weight for damn sure if I don’t. That’s the thing about dead thyroids. They don’t care if you have a 100-calorie snack. To my body, it’s like you had a 500-calorie meal. It treats everything I eat, no matter how big or small, as if it was a huge meal. It takes my body forfuckingever to burn it off too. I really hope that slowly lowering my TSH continues to be a success.

Funny how the Supreme Court’s leaked abortion draft is called an “opinion.” It’s not an opinion it’s a fucking plan. A sick, twisted plan. And it’s not their final decision they say? Who do they think they’re kidding? They had a plan all along and they fully intend to carry it out. Once this is accomplished they’ll gut more rights, probably GLBTs. Then they’ll work on things that affect us. The name of the game is control. You control and you change everybody that isn’t like you.

I still don’t get why everybody is so damn surprised though. I knew this was coming for a long time and it has nothing to do with being psychic. It’s common sense. Once Coney-Barrett got in I knew women’s rights were doomed, thanks to Trump who started this country on its way to regression and oppression.

Once Roe is overturned, I don’t see it becoming the all-out crisis that people are making it out to be any more than I believe that Putin is going to nuke anyone or that he really has cancer. There are always ways to abort. But it definitely does open the door for all kinds of other shit. It’s like the whole world is going to hell from climate change to inflation to crazy laws to wars.

As an Ashkenazi, I asked Tom if he thought they would ever be crazy enough to set up a hotline to report Jews so that they could go round them up and kill them, and he said no. But would either one of us have expected other things that have happened to happen? I learned to expect the unexpected a long time ago. Sadly, injustice typically prevails and nothing will ever change. I mean if we’re still dealing with the same shit like women’s rights after all these decades, things will never get better, and if they do, it won’t last. These days it’s politically correct to deem abortion “murder” and I learned a long time ago just how obsessed people can be with political correctness. People like “norms” and to do what most people do. They believe in God because most people do. They keep up to date with the latest style of clothing because that’s what most people do. The same goes for politics.

Jess isn’t the greatest writer, and sometimes it’s hard to understand her. I guess it’s not the community that mows, but someone who has their house done too early. I remember having to deal with that shit from different individuals at the old place. I would prefer loud mowers not to drive past the bedroom window when I’m sleeping, but it’s nice having to hear it once a week or less and not every single day.

Steve is the guy who moved in across from Toni. He’s a tall, skinny, tanned guy who’s always outdoors, like the honker. Too bad the honker isn’t just past his place. They’d love each other. Anyway, he and his wife have a dog that sometimes barks but fortunately, it hasn’t been too noticeable. At least not yet. I sure hope it doesn’t become like Gerry’s dog across the street from the old place!

Tom said he was afraid to try the goat cheese I left him. He said that knowing how he usually hates everything while I usually love everything, he’s afraid to even touch it if I don’t like it.

Aly has now been dead for one year. I will never stop missing her. Never.
