Just Rambling
I don't know...our world. It's crazy. Between the pandemic, a black man being murdered by a while police officer, to riots, destruction of property and attacks on humans, the world has seriously gone mad! I mean, what the heck is going on?
I said to my husband earlier that I believe the end times are upon us. Just look around. It's a scary place, and I'm petrified for my children. I have nightmares when I sleep at night. I'm afraid. I'm afraid for my black friends. I live in a predominately white neighborhood. I am friendly with everyone. Heck, some of my best friends are black and I love them with my whole heart. To see the madness and injustice because of their skin color is infuriating, sickening, and I fear for them. I fear for their children.
My great niece is biracial. She was bullied in school (kindergarten, can you believe it???) because of her skin and hair. Bullied because she doesn't look like everyone else. Racism is taught, so you know where these kids are getting it from.
Part of growing up I lived in a predominately black neighborhood, where I was the minority. Not once was I bullied because I was different. Not once did I feel threatened or afraid. When I was a little bullied it was from another white girl.
I'm just so sad. I wish things were better. Better for us, better for our kids. We need to make changes in our society but where do we begin? Seems like we can't do much with this damn pandemic around us. No matter what we do we have to be safe.
just rambling here. My heart is really heavy. I don't watch the news anymore, and I only check in online at night before bed (maybe that's my first mistake). I don't know what to believe or think anymore.
In other news, Mark's therapist is moving out of state. She leaves tomorrow. She came for a drive by yesterday, but he wouldn't come out of the house. He looked out the window. He has a hard time with goodbyes and with change, so the window is all I can expect from him. I fought tears while she was here, but we did get some good news...she can continue to work with him until the office reopens, and then he'll get a new therapist. I'm really relieved at that.
The weather has been so beautiful lately. Finally summer is upon us. I'm so tired of the depressing winter. We just need to have our pool fixed because Matt used it for work and it got holes in the bottom. The pool will make the yard complete. We are also waiting for some palm tree restorer because some of our palm trees aren't looking too good.
That's about it for today. I will now make some coffee, crochet a bit than head to work to follow Jackie to the bank (since Jack doesn't have his car). Nite!
