Repeat. There will be no today, today. It’s Monsooning, tornados are everywhere. I am NOT going to do this fucked up day. I cant believe I was finally awake during the day and this is what I get. So um, how are ya’ll doing? I may or may not be back for RHONY depending on whether or not we live.
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
That’s just insane. Thanks for the info.
I’m in Sacramento, smoke was not bad until last two days. Unbelievable on the ex-professor, yes it was in The Hill and SacBee. The new fire near Sly Park/Pollock Pines is going to be bad too.
Please be safe.
Sorry to hear about your friend’s dad. I saw smoke and saw red!!!
Aw, thank you either way!! Appreciate it. Regarding the smoke…afraid it’s all going to get worse before it gets better – I didn’t even think of everything inside reeking of smoke. It’s bad here but I’m a heck of a lot further away than 85 miles thank goodness. Hang in there!!
So sorry for the smoke and people dealing with fires. 🙁 So far it’s north of us but that can change fast.
Oh no!! It’s 30+ percent contained. But with last night’s wind storm was bracing myself. Need need need rain!! No thunder just rain!
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.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is have no day today.
I love this. I’m heading into my second surety on my ankle this afternoon. I’m so sick of it as it’s been going on since May. Yes. Please TT cancel this day!
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.
Yay for friends who send food! It is funny how dogs have to find exactly the right spot to do their business.
It’s amazing how an act of kindness can change your entire day. We can resume with this day if you would like. 🙂
HOWEVER, the power has already gone out twice so if I don’t make it to RHONY recap that is probably why.
I’m happy for you. Inspiring me to start my day over too..Did you get some of that special ham too? I know you like that too. Wish I could send you some things. I enjoy this site and the community you’ve made here
I GOT PORK CHOPS! I slept all day and didn’t cook them yet though. There is always tomorrow. I have all the ingredients for my favorite dish I think. 🙂
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.
I’m watching these episodes as well and 0agtee about 0Mario. There is no way she didn’t annoy the crap out of him. She’s embarrassing
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 woke up in a super good non anxiety ridden day.😊
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?
Who knows or cares, LOL.😊
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.
You’re probably right about your xanax theory, Cheryl. I’m that way when I have candy in the house. I may not eat it but it makes me happy to know it’s there. Hope you day remains non-anxiety ridden!
LOL, thanks. 😊
I am kinda weirded out by the no pain. Maybe the nerve killing finally kicked in? Hmmm.
Hope so if that’s what the goal was.
Sending you an email with a photo and a video to brighten your rainy gloomy day! Love ya TT
So in season one of rhony, Ramona was rude at dinner. It must be her personality and now it’s years later, unchanged.
My mom would say “what was she, raised by wolves?”
Makes me think of that reference a lot.
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?
They are probably thirsty to be photographed or filmed with her.
That’s really sad.
Hi from New Zealand! We have just woken up to a minimum 7 day lockdown.
I’m feeling a bit anxious this time for some reason.
I’m sure it will be fine, just need to concentrate on keepingThe kids happy for the week – if they are happy I (should hopefully) be happy 🙂
Oh Jess! I am so sorry. I thought you guys were Covid free!
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!
I quit teaching for much less than being expected to teach in a petri dish with no masks. I’m sure people are retiring en masse.
Yes, a friend of mine in California retired early after last semester because she did not feel safe. She was an amazing & enthusiastic teacher. It a a great loss to her school & students.
Hey MelG, I’m in Nashville, too. Agree with everything you said. I’m so sick of the governor and all of the ignorance about masks, I just want to scream.
I’m sleeping odd hours. I saw some middle? HS kids waiting for the bus this morning and I was so worried about them going to school. No masks.
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.
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.
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.
One less headache for you to recap …RHOD cancelled.
Best news of this horrible news day! Which RH show should be next? I vote OC or BH. That’s the Californian in me.
RHONY
Wow! I sort of saw this coming but I’m still surprised that it actually happened.
I’m surprised it lasted this long to be honest
I’ve reached out to my MIA source. I’m not sure I buy it.
I am pretty shocked. I thought it was a relatively cheap show that it would be an easy renewal. I am sort of confused on the why. I think they definitely had possible storylines for season 6. Hopefully TT’s source can shed some light on what really happened.
Agree with all that you said. My source has yet to respond.
Falynn confirmed her pregnancy with the “personal assistant” Jaylan whatever. So that was at least one thing Simon wasn’t lying about. 👀
I KNOW! That kind of surprised me. I thought he might just be her GBF .
Falynn, Simon, and Porsha give me a headache at this point. It’s a circus that just won’t end.
I just realized they’re having a Shabbat dinner on one of only two seasons of RHONY without a Jewish cast member. Is that a coincidence?
We can’t lose Ramona. I would miss and worry for Coco.
Do you remember that children’s book about Good Luck and Bad Luck where the guy gets an invite to a party, but has no way to get there, but then gets a ride in a plane, but then the plane has engine trouble… etc. That sounds like the day you are having. 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. You can’t make this stuff up! It just gets worse and worse and worse. … Hope you are safe with the wild weather, TT!
We both lived. But I did have a disagreement with Banjo today. We were both in bad moods but we are good now. lol. Does anyone else get into disagreements with their dogs? 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? That’s a problem and I will just leave you out there for a while. In the rain. We’ve since made up.
For some reason I got to tape AGT today. I haven’t seen it since the very early episode because of conflicts. The host, whose name escapes me is wearing a yellow suit. And you can blatantly see his bulge.
Is it Terry Crews? I haven’t watched.
i just wish we could scoop up all of the water in the east and ship it to the west. It might temporarily solve a lot of problems.
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.
BTW, I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that RHOD is cancelled. Excuse me, “on pause indefinitely.”
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’d rather not have a HW franchise than one I am embarassed with.
Is anyone else’s marriage falling apart over politics? I can’t believe it.
I’ve seen several friendships and relationships between co-workers deteriorate over politics and Covid…disheartening.
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.
I’m sorry you are going through this. It is miserable.
