The Days and Nights of Catherine Evermore

“I thought such awful thoughts that I cannot even say them out loud because they would make Jesus want to drink gin straight out of the cat dish.”
― Anne Lamott

I’ve been up since 3:30 a.m. Waited for the sun to come up so I could go to the “vampire” lab and get blood work done for one of the three doctors who want my blood tested every 3 or 4 or 6 months.

My veins are small. They collapse. It’s a pain for me and the person drawing my blood. This morning, the nurse had to draw blood from both arms.

I’m sick of this crap!

Next week, when I see my doctor, we are going to have a “come to Jesus meeting” about all these freakin’ office visits and lab work.

If these doctors would share with one another then we could cut the crap. But, they don’t share.

I’m telling you, this old broad is at the end of her rope.

It’s not just this lab work stuff that has me going. Other stuff, too.

Never thought I would say this, but the day I have my doctor’s appointment is the same day we might get hit by a tropical storm.

I’m pulling for the storm!

There was a time when I watched all of the Sunday morning political shows. My favorite was Tim Russert’s show ‘Meet the Press.’ Sadly, it was taken over by the nutjob whatshisname after Tim Russert passed away. I’ve not watched ‘Meet the Press’ since then.

This morning, I decided to watch Chris Wallace on Fox. Oh my! That was one huge mistake.

One of the things I have noticed about Chris Wallace is that he’s soft when interviewing Democrats, but he’s combative when interviewing Republicans. After 15 minutes of his nonsense, I turned off the TV. It’s just not worth it anymore.

Defund the police is always in the news. The Democrats want to cut back on police funding and hire more social workers. Really?

If I’m being robbed or attacked, the last person I want to call is a social worker. I want a badass police officer coming to my rescue. Since I don’t have a gun, I want a badass police officer to shoot the criminal if that’s the only way to stop the criminal.

As a survivor of a violent crime that put three men in prison, I don’t care about talking a criminal out of committing a crime. I want a criminal dealt with swiftly and harshly. Shooting the criminal would be my first choice.

With Democrats refusing to prosecute the criminals of last summer, I’ve lost faith in our justice system in Democrat controlled cities. Just look at Chicago, home of Obama. How did that work out for the good people of Chicago? Not very well.

Fortunately for me, I live in a red city in a red state. We are safe for now. That could all change next year if Republicans kowtow to the mob.

Somehow, I don’t think that is going to happen.
