I don’t bother with titles for entries in most cases but if I had to give this one a title it would definitely be something like Things I Don’t Get.

I listen to news briefs sometimes when I’m waking up with coffee and it was pretty pathetic to hear Greg Abbott say he’s no longer going to mandate businesses to require vaccinations because “people should be able to choose their own personal health care.” Well, that’s pretty damn funny considering that thanks to him, those with unwanted pregnancies now have to abort on their own or go to other states. Seriously, these types of people need to get hit by a bus!

I also saw a headline about queers for Palestine and I’m thinking, this is a joke, right? But sadly it’s not. There really are gays who support the very people who would be very happy and very quick to kill them simply for being who they are. I don’t understand this any more than I understand women who support Trump. I mean, I can’t understand anyone who would support the bastard, but I’m more baffled by women and gays who support the piece of shit who is very likely to be president again. Tom thinks it will be Chris Christie.

Meanwhile, I’m in a great mood and I will never take it for granted when I am after the hell I went through. Never. I love my new essential oils and I love my shiny rhinestone purse. I just wish it was a little bigger although it’s big enough to hold the most important things and that’s my passport/credit card/medical card holder and phone. It makes a gorgeous decoration just hanging on its hook.

Believe it or not, I decided to try the lemon oil and it’s not that bad. Love the little pamphlet included that tells you the benefits of each one. It says that after 2 years the oils will start degrading so I definitely need to get rid of the Cali oils. Even some of the ones I got when we first came here are getting old.

Can’t wait to try my new recipe later! This one should be failproof. I’m just frying up chicken with a special blend of seasonings and sauces only I’m doing it with chicken tenders instead of chicken breasts.

Still plugging away with my journal proofreading project trying to weed out as many typos and grammatical errors as I can and found an entry in 2014 where Aly told me that Kim dumped her. So she has dumped people. I don’t remember how long she was dumped for or who reached out to who first but Kim is going to learn the hard way, should she ever reach out to me in the future, that I don’t do-overs. She, like several others in my life, was someone I never should have given the time of day to in the first place, especially knowing she was mentally ill. I’ve become very strict about not giving people second chances let alone third, fourth, fifth, and so on. Once I’ve had a problem with you I’m not forgiving, forgetting, or letting you back into my life so you can repeat your mistakes. This doesn’t mean I have any hard feelings or want anything bad to happen to her. She’s just not welcome back into my life.
