Fortunately, this evening I have nearly no symptoms of flu. The sore throat is nearly gone. The headache is mostly poofed.
I’m also partially angry right now.
My doctor’s office put in my prescription so I’ll pick it up tomorrow.
That’s not why I’m angry though. Right before I sat down to work on this blog post, I loaded up one of those “Apple Text” videos.
It’s an older vid. About this woman who was remarried but was confused about who her daughter was having a child with. I’ve been deliberating over if there’s a point to watching the videos. It’s like background noise for me really.
However, because there’s video that goes with the audio, I do take pauses to look. It’s like when I watch “Intervention”. The stories of addicts and what they get up to…
It’s intriguing. Sad.
The extent these people go to in order to get the drugs.
There’s also “My 600lb Life” too. There have been several instances when I’ve been utterly sad – especially on the rare instances when someone on the show has died. I watched Sean’s follow-up for the next three years. I had several instances when I wanted to scream. I’ve never seen a man gain and lose weight to the extremes that Sean did.
So this particular episode of Apple Text? It turned out the father of this woman’s child was her own husband. The stepfather.
It struck a chord in me, because I was at risk of that. If I hadn’t had my grandparents there, it’s exactly what would have occurred.
That man was and is a predator. I’ve no clue if he’s still alive… and I’m grateful that he’s no longer part of my life.
I work hard to not be triggered when I see things, but it can be very difficult.
I’m so upset now that I’m going to push through and try out some exercise tonight. I have two lessons to do as well. So, they are also on the docket for tonight.
I think I have angry walking coming.
