    Hey, I feel ya. In my neck of the woods, it’s smoke from all of the fires raging in states around me. We’re also in a drought. My best friend’s husband’s dad is dying from Covid as I type…I told her that he just may be getting out while the getting’s good. Hang in there. I don’t post a whole lot but I read just about everything you write (don’t be getting a big head lol.) PS I think there are two of us Darby’s?

      I share your pain!! Last 3+ weeks every single day! Over the smoke. I am 85 miles away from the Dixie fire that the f’ing ahole exprofessor started. Beyond livid. Replaced air filters 3 times. The house still reeks of smoke. Masks already limit breathing but the smoke on top of it over it! I share your pain. Worst dragged out fire season.

        What ex-professor? I thought PG&E was being blamed for a tree falling on their power lines & starting the fire. Is there some individual to blame? I hope it’s under control soon so the air quality will improve and you’ll have an easier time breathing.

          Gary Stephen Maynard is the Arsonist. He’s an ex college professor. I’m not sure if I can link the article. Was in “The Hill.”

          It’s sickening he deliberately set it to trap and kill firefighters. The fire is over 500k acres. Has destroyed/burned down communities.

          Now 60 miles from the epicenter.. omg

    Take a mental health day or two. In fact, take an extra one for me because I have too many deadlines right now to be able to take a day off work. I can’t breathe well — smoke from the fires in California is hovering over Las Vegas and making the air quality here worse than usual. I’m tired, hungry, cranky and not looking forward to walking Roux to the duck pond this evening so she can get her daily dose of her new best friends, the turtles, but she enjoys it so much I push myself to do it for her. Hope you stay safe and are feeling better later. I doubt that tonight’s RHONY will be much different than it has all season so no recap or a late recap won’t matter much.

    Well I am suddenly having the best day ever. I friend just sent me enough food to live on for another six months! I’ve been struggling to eat for a long time now. Tonight it is pork chop night! YAY! If I stay awake. It’s moonsooning here. The Fed Ex guy was an older guy and I thought he was going to cry carrying the heavy boxes. He was drenched and miserable.

    Banjo has tried to go out four times. I told him it was fine to just pee on the floor. He eventually went out and then he still had to do the whole “pick the place that most deserves to be peed on thing.

    It is monsooning out here in the SF Bay Area too!

    Not hard enough to freak out the puggies or Simba. I hope it pushes all of the smoke out to sea instead of East toward the desert. (Sorry Andy, I hope it’s already not too bad in Vegas).

    I just watched S1E2 and am watching S1E3 of RHONY. We saw Ramona lying to Luann and Jill. I see why lots of people love Jill. And it is 💔 to see Bobby. I still hate Alex and Simon and Bwahahahaha seeing them go on and on about their love for the ages. I understand relationships are complicated but I am so against cheating. But … Mario Singer … YOU get an everyday hall pass. HOW did he stay with Ramona so long? It MUST have had to do with protecting Avery.

    So, I am keeping a close eye on Banjo and he got all pacey and panty (that has to be a word) and I was concerned. But he just needed to poop so out into the monsoon we went again. I think we are both about to go down for a nice long nap. Because, today is cancelled and that means we don’t have to do anything we do not want to do.

    I knew during the night it was coming, and so I am going to ENJOY every minute of NO anxiety or pain actually.
    Could it maybe be because yesterday I got my xanax refilled and knowing it’s available helps?

      I am much better when I have Xanax in the house. I actually have a few expired ones somewhere. But getting a script for benzos is really hard. Especially when you don’t have a doctor or insurance. So while I would like to have 20 2mgs I would ask for FIVES so I could cut them in half. Half a five makes me feel drugged. A two mg makes me feel NORMAL.

    So in season one of rhony, Ramona was rude at dinner. It must be her personality and now it’s years later, unchanged.

    Explains why people didn’t like her way back when she was in college. It also makes me wonder what her 50 best friends are like in real life. Are they as rude and obnoxious as Ramona? I’ve ended friendships/relationships with people if they’re rude to wait staff in restaurants or housekeeping/front desk staff in hotels. How are those 50 women still friends with her?

      I’m sorry. I have to say I wish we would lockdown here though. Our hospitals are full. Vanderbilt is full, the medium size hospitals are full. The small ones are full. Well, actually I have a friend at one outside of Nashville. They have 1 bed, but they had 4 people in their early 40’s to die from Covid within 48 hours. Yet, people in our area are still bitching about their freedom, and masks. I argued with a guy today in defense of a school teacher because she wants her students wearing masks. Lots of schools passed mask mandates. Then, our idiot Gov. Lee issued an order overriding it if a parent so chooses for their child to not wear a mask. He leaves it up to schools then pulls that shit!
      Teachers are dealing with so much. My daughter in law teaches & has elementary age kids getting themselves ready for school & to the bus because parents won’t get out of bed. So these kids show up sick. Then, to send them home you have to track the parents down. This Delta variant is much more transmissible and much worse symptoms and affecting younger groups.

      With Delta raging, the horrific situation in Afghanistan, the fires, things just really suck right now. Praying for you guys dealing with any of it!

            Nevada’s Democratic Governor is working hard to keep us safe. We have a mask mandate for students, teachers and school staff. There are parents who are fighting it which makes me wonder what sort of parents they are.

              School starts here next Tuesday. We just received an email from the school district that advised all in-school learning, no masks, no contact tracing, and all events (sports) can be attended by unlimited fans, no masks. We are free-balling like nobody’s business lol. I am in the minority here…my daughter was vaccinated last month prior to going to camp. She is literally the only one in her class to be vaccinated. I am about one of 10 here at my work place (there are over 40 of us) to be vaccinated. Hot topic for sure. Covid cases in my county and surrounding counties are rising but most people still don’t think it’s a real thing.

              August 19, 2021 at 12:24 pm

              Darby, I just don’t get it. It’s one thing to put your own life at risk, but to not give a damn about the health of your child and their schoolmates, or your co-workers and everyone else you come in contact with is sheer stupidity and cruelty. Local and state governments/school boards/employers who don’t seem to grasp the seriousness of this virus should never be in positions of power. I wish Covid would limit itself to only the anti-mask/anti-vax crowd, but it doesn’t. Their stupid decisions affect all of us.

              August 19, 2021 at 1:39 pm

              I don’t get it either…I just decided that all I can do is keep my daughter and I as safe as we can. My best friend’s husband’s dad is dying of Covid – we thought he would have passed away by now but the poor thing is hanging in there, completely miserable and it really is just a matter of time. He was a stubborn old coot…no masks, no vaccine. His church had a camp a few weeks ago in Montana. Pastor has since died of Covid. Now, on the flip side, several attendees who didn’t mask and aren’t vaccinated didn’t get Covid. We are not seeing a true “cause and affect” for the most part so I do think that is part of what is happening.

The food delivery sounds fun. I hope your power comes back in time to see RHONY because it is hilarious. We are literally laughing out loud at how horrible Ramona and Sonja are being.

Mine had to go out a lot today because he’s taking a steroid. That’s fine. But once you do your thing and I call you back in and you don’t come back in?

    I am not ashamed to say I am in Coastal NC, my bedroom overlooking the intercoastal and walking distance from the beach. Best vacation ever, I am so relaxed. We had to cancel last year because my husband was still recovering from covid, and three years ago my mom could not come because she had fallen down the stairs and was in rehab for her arm and back, but everyone is here now, and we seem to be avoiding the bad weather, which appears to be heading up through WV and interiorly.

    From what I heard they were really going to try to make it with D’Andra, Tiffany, and Kameron as returning cast members with three new people, one on the D/T team and two on the K team. First few test screenings did not go well.

        I’ve seen that too. I can’t determine anymore if this is just something I didn’t see in the past, or if it is indeed something new. I’ve never seen anyone get so angry over something like this. Disheartening, yes. I guess I am supposed to just go along with it like everybody else. I just can’t do it. I don’t understand it. It’s depressing.

        I guess I have to come to terms with having a very unhealthy relationship. I think it always has been, this has just made it so much more obvious. Thanks.
