I’m not gonna let it spoil my mood!

Wow, yesterday was a real winner, gang. I was feeling so happy last night.

And this morning, I woke up happy, too.

Everything just felt so good for a change — until, like I do every weekday morning , I listened to Charlie Ward’s daily news update.

He said something so nasty (and untrue) about the LGBTQ community — as if there aren’t any fucking HETEROSEXUALS who are pedophiles. Give me a fucking break.

Charlie is the only long-time Truther that I still listen to on a regular basis. Even after all these years. But this is the 2nd time in the last week that he has said something nasty about the LGBTQ community.

I’m really disappointed in him. And he’s another one of those Truthers who, you know, is so gung-ho about Jesus.

Anyway.

I’m going to try to get back to the happier feelings of yesterday.

Ironically — the wonderful day ended with this!

Sandra sent me a link to an incredible review of her performance on “The Ms. Pat Show”:

The Ms. Pat Show shut down transphobia with a mic drop assist from trailblazing trans icon Sandra Caldwell (by Cameron Scheetz)

“This Black History Month, the BET+ multi-cam sitcom The Ms. Pat Show paid tribute to a true trailblazer from the LGBTQ+ community, Sandra Caldwell, a legend whose flowers are way overdue.

“From stand-up comic Patricia “Ms. Pat” Williams & Jordan E. Cooper (the queer playwright behind the Tony-nominated Ain’t No Mo’) the series has never been shy about addressing social issues as it follows working mother Pat raising her family in conservative, small-town Indiana after moving from Atlanta, Georgia.

“Still, a storyline that played out in the recent Season 5 finale, ‘A Family Thing,’ feels especially bold, forward-thinking, and empowering given what a hot-button issue trans identity is in today’s society…”

The review is positively glowing. Not just about Sandra, but about the show, in general. Still, I was blown away by the tribute they paid to Sandra and her long-time career. I was so happy for her.

You can sign up for BET+ and watch the show HERE.

The other thing that made yesterday such a happy one is this!

Yes, I went to the Rural King to buy cat food.

And, yes!! ‘Wild Thing’ was there.

And, yes! While I tried to behave as if I weren’t a crushing 14-year-old, I actually sort of really looked at him while he was talking to me. And I discovered a few things.

He is not as young as I originally thought he was, although he is still a lot younger than me.

He has a large anchor tattoo on his upper left arm, so I’m wondering if maybe he’s been in the military.

And, yes, it seems like he genuinely likes me — just from the way he was speaking to me yesterday. And making more eye contact with me than you can possibly imagine. He’s never done that before.

And I kid you not — as I was walking away from his checkout lane and we had said goodbye, and a new customer was already in front of him, he called to me and said, sort of seriously, “Marilyn — enjoy your day.”

Yes! He used my name. He’s never done that before, either.
