Home Sick After a Four Day Weekend

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World! Sadly, I am not going to work today due to the fact that I am sick. I am sick with flu-like symptoms. Mainly, I am just puking my brains out which is a slang phrase of vomiting. As much as I would rather be working today, I am glad I didn’t see my mom over Mother’s Day weekend as she has Covid which is not good for her since she has stage three lung cancer. Missing work today and not seeing my mom over the weekend is a good thing as I don’t want to get anyone sick or expose anyone to Covid.

On top of being sick, I had a severe case of insomnia. Having insomnia on top of being sick is never a good thing. I really dislike being sick as well as having insomnia but both at the same time sucks shit. I am hoping to get some sleep and start feeling better soon.

Since I am home sick, I plan on reading. The book I just started reading is “Don’t Open The Door” by Allison Brennan. I am just starting the second chapter but so far it is captivating. I really hope that it continues to keep my eye on continuing to read the book.

Another thing I hope to do is do some art work. I plan on coloring at least one if not two of my big coloring pictures. I also plan on doing some diamond art painting. Diamond art painting is a bit tedious but well worth the accomplished feeling when finished even though I just started doing the Diamond Art Painting over the weekend.

I, of course will be hanging out with my cat, Billie while I read. Of course I will be hanging out with my cat Billie as I do art while listening to some music. Billie my cat is such a cuddle bug however he is much more of a cuddle bug when I am reading or doing art work. He is definitely more of a snuggle bug when music is on.

On to a slightly different topic but very similar to topics I wrote in the above paragraphs. As I mentioned Billie is very much a lovey dovey cuddle bug. I know this sounds weird but I read to Billie for a multitude of reasons. One reason is I have dyslexia and reading out loud to my cat Billie helps with my self confidence. The second reason I read out loud to Billie is because I have a couple of speech impediments, one of which is that I stutter and the other is that when I say anything with an r it sounds like a w. So, many of my speech therapists throughout the years including my current speech therapist have suggest to read out loud especially to animals and if I didn’t have an animal to read to a stuffed animal.

I do not have much more to say in this particular blog. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. If it wasn’t for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Idiot Alarm Pulling Neighbor Finally Arrested

Posted on by Gertie

Good Fucking, Morning, World!!! The idiot neighbor who admits to the firefighters that he pulls the fire alarm because other neighbors aren’t wearing their mask because of Covid-19 finally got his ass arrested. It’s only taken well over a year of him doing this for him to finally get his ass arrested.

Now my other neighbors, myself and our pets including my cat don’t have to worry about a fire alarm going off for no fucking reason. We don’t have to evacuate the build with our pets and making sure are disabled neighbors get evacuated due to the false alarms of this neighbor pulling the alarm due to other neighbors not wearing their mask. My neighbors as well as myself and everyone’s pets are finally relieved that we don’t have to worry about this neighbor pulling the fire alarm.

The police and firefighters appeared as happy as me and my neighbors are that he finally got arrested. Dude sadly doesn’t understand why he got arrested. I personally think he needs a psychiatric evaluation but that is my opinion.

I don’t have much more to say in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it wasn’t for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be writing my blog. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Idiot Neighbor Pulled Fire Alarm, Again

Posted on by Gertie

Good Fucking Morning, World!!! Hell, it’s barely after midnight here in Seattle and my stupid ass neighbor pulled the fire alarm again because a different neighbor from last night was not wearing their mask in the common areas of the apartment building. As much as I wish people would wear their mask that is NOT a FUCKING reason to pull the fire alarm.

The firefighters are just as angry as we neighbors are because this idiot at least admits he pulls the alarm but all the fire department can do is fine the asshole and asshole isn’t paying the fines. The fucking Seattle Police can’t do shit because puling the fire alarm when it is not an emergency is only a misdemeanor and the cops aren’t arresting those with misdemeanors because the fucking county jail are accepting misdemeanor arrest due to this stupid ass pandemic know as Covid-19. All I want is some fucking sleep.

Not only does the fire alarm affect me and my neighbors it affects the animals in the building including my cat, Billie. He is one very unhappy camper when the fire alarm goes off and I don’t blame him. He just doesn’t exactly understand what is happening and why he needs to put into his carrier and leave the apartment which is his home. I feel really bad for my cat, Billie Dean as well as the other animals in this building.

Well this rant of a blog post is over with. I don’t have anything else to say in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be writing my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Still Awake 2 Hours After Fire Alarm

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I am not as angry as my last post. I am however tired as hell because I haven’t been back to sleep and I need to be up for work in an hour and half. Anyway, to update on what’s been going on the last two hours, the drama continues. Thankfully no more fire alarms pulled.

Sadly, there have been fights against the person who has pulled the fire alarm due to other neighbors not wearing mask due to the pandemic known as Covid-19. Because of these physical fights the police have come and “talked with all involved.” Yet again, the Seattle Police did nothing. The idiot who pulled the fire alarm a couple of hours ago got the shit beat out of him by other neighbors to where the idiot neighbor needed to go to the hospital and nobody is getting arrested nor have charges pressed against them. Seattle Police aren’t doing their fucking job. My taxes pay their pay checks and I don’t feel safe because they are doing their fucking jobs.

I need to get going to see if I can get an hour and a half hours of sleep before having to get up for work. I don’t have much more to say in this particular blog post. My cat is giving me comfort through all this. I love my cat. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out World!!!

Rudely Awaken by Fire Alarm

Posted on by Gertie

Good Fucking Morning, World!!! I am fucking angry as hell right now. I was sound asleep and the damn fire alarm went of again. I’m angry because an idiot of a neighbor pulled the fire alarm again because another neighbor was not wearing a mask in a common area of our apartment building. I fucking don’t understand why this neighbor has to pull the fire alarm every fucking time he sees another neighbor who doesn’t wear a mask. It’s fucking bullshit.

The fire department is just as angry as my neighbors and I. The fire department has fined this neighbor so many time it’s not funny. The sad yet good thing is the dude admits to the fire fighters. Sadly, the fire fighters have been here so many time because of this dude that they now have the cops come to “talk” to him. Plus, the fire fighters fear for this neighbors safety because other neighbors want to “beat the shit out of him.” I’m not one of those people but I do feel like screaming at time. Pulling the fire alarm is a misdemeanor crime and the cops won’t arrest him because the county jail won’t accept people with misdemeanor crimes due to Covid-19 which is fucking bullshit.

Okay my rant is over. I don’t anything else to say in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it wasn’t for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be writing my blog.

Posted on by Gertie

I am feeling extremely guilty for not doing a New Year’s post for the year 2022. I feel guilty because I was am sick with Covid-19 and was sick enough to post a post on New Years. I know I shouldn’t be beating myself up but I am. I know you my readers understand but I feel like I let you all down. I know people get busy with family events and I know people understand when others sick. I just wish I wasn’t so hard o myself. In fact one of my goals for 2022 to is to now be so hard on myself. I know it won’t be so easy to do but I have supportive to help me with this. I know some of my readers will be have help with this and am grateful for you. I just was to be held accountable to others. I also have people in my “real” life that can help me with this. It never has to have too many accountability accountability partners.

Too Early to Be Awake on a Saturday Morning

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is just barely four o’clock in the morning Seattle time and I have been awake is just before three o’clock in the morning Seattle time. Not sure if it is the insomnia keeping me awake or if it is the Covid-19 cough keep me up or both. Whatever the reason, I just want to go back to sleep but that will be a bit hard to do at the moment as Billie Dean my cat is now being active since I am up. He is wanting to play which I will oblige. It also appears that some of my neighbors can’t sleep either. It appears many of us have sleepless nights on the same nights as I wonder if there something to do that. Whatever that reason, I am going to try to go back to sleep.

I’m not sure how I will try to get back to sleep I will make an attempt to go back to sleep as I want to get better from having stupid Covid-19. But least my sweet loving cat Billie will be doing his best to help me sleep. I love my cuddle bug of a cat. I love my cat so very much and don’t know how I would manage the hold Covid shit the last two years without him.

I don’t have much more to say in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end that you my reader, read my blog. If it wasn’t for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be writing my blog. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog.

A Much Needed Nap Followed Up by Self Care

Posted on by Gertie

Good Evening, World!!! It’s been an unproductive day as right now. Or at least in feels like it. Since my last particular post, I did manage to get some self care in. started of my taking a much needed nap as I didn’t sleep very well last night. After my nap, I took a shower and then had some food. I had Lunchables pizza. Not the most healthiest food but at least it was food. I also had a some soda with my pizza lunchables.

I of course spent time with my cat Billie Dean cuddling me as I did some artwork. In fact the artwork I did was color. Coloring is a type of mindfulness for me. As I color, I listen to a podcast. I listen to a podcast about philosophy. I enjoy learning new things especially about philosophy.

Honestly, I wish I did not have Covid as it making me feel isolated from those I love can care about such as my friend and family as well as my colleagues at work and my clients. Not to mention missing the people I volunteer to with at PAWS Cats City.

I will be so thrilled when Covid goes away so I can do what I normally do when I don’t have Covid-19. I want things to be back to normal. Having Covid suck shit. I guess it could be worse and me being in the hospital with Covid-19. I just wat to feel better.

I do not have very much more to say this particular post. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you read my blog. If it was not for you the reader reading my blog, I would not be writer my blog. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Happy New Year and Peace Out, World!!!
