Since I've been gone, yeah yeah.🎵

Yes, another music reference title.🎜

So while I've been gone -

**The Astro's were caught cheating. Surprise!
No kidding, everyone has been saying this for years now.
Now there is video proof and actual players are talking. 
Yet my team is the evil empire.
I hope MLB takes away their WS title and suspensions take place.
I also hope the Astro's get a huge fine and punishment.
Take that Verlander and your lousy Astro's.
The Nats kept saying they were on to them and they were going to fool them.
Hey, Astros, you're in the Patriots club now, congratulations.
No win from now on will be real to those who aren't your fans.

**The impeachment hearings are on my local channels all damn day.
If not on then they are discussing it ad nauseum.
So all the fun things I record to watch while making dinner are gone
(Ellen for one)
I will not watch these hearings. 
Or the regurgitating discussions after the hearing that goes on for hours. 
I do recall watching Clinton's impeachment hearing because I had just had my 4th back surgery and  I was at home recuperating. 
After my surgery, Rick would never leave for work without making sure I had all I needed once propped up and somewhat comfortable. 
Books? Check. Water? Check! Medication? Check. Remote? Oops. 
He forgot as did I the remote. (I tell him it was his kiss before he left, I forgot everything! He didn't buy it either. )
I could see it. But it was across the room.  
I just couldn't get up without pain and difficulty and truthfully I was just being lazy because it hurt. So essentially just a big baby.  
I thought, oh well, I will pick it up when I have to get up to use the bathroom no sense in putting myself out, I've got books right here. 
So there I laid, unable to reach the remote and no one around to fetch it. What's a lazy girl to do? I laid there and watched TV. 
Then I was hooked. Not this time. I'm weary of it all. 
Just kick him to the curb all ready! 

While I was gone - 
**Another school shooting happened. Enough said. 😡

**Barbara either hates my comments, which is understandable, or something happens to my comments. So Barbara, if you are reading this, I am no longer leaving comments after last Monday's but I am reading you every day. 

**I no longer enjoy the shows on TV that I used to like. 
How'd that happen? This is Us just seems off to me. 
And don't get me started on all the back and forth. It's Year 2030 to year 1972 and then present day. Oy Vay.
Million Little Things is just so whiney. Rich people whining. 
Were they always like this?
What the hell is going on with me? I used to like those shows. 
Now it's like if I see it, eh. If I don't the next one will catch me up. 
It just all seems Eh. Instead, I've been watching a lot of music content. 
Clarence Clemon's documentary showed me the person I always thought/hoped he was. (from the E Street Band) 
That was a nice change of pace. 
Normally I watch things, like Dan Rather Big Interview on AXS, with old rockers and they are so obnoxious and clueless to reality.
But this guy was the real deal. His heart was as big as he was. 

**Seth Meyers Netflix special was better than I thought it would be.
I thought it would be a lot of politics and thankfully it was not!
With the exception of the locations and having an actual baby, I would love to be in labor like Seth's wife. Water breaks, baby out. Done! No 23 hours of labor for Mrs. Meyers.Wow! Merely minutes for both kids and him telling the story is pretty cute. 

**Are you watching Season 2 of The Crown? I sure am. 
I don't care for the actress playing the Queen as much as Season 1 but by the end, I may not find her as off-putting. It could just be the change that bothers me. Jury still out on that one. Do you like her?
The first Queen actress brought more empathy and said so much with her blue eyes. 
Boy not this version of the queen. She is as cold as ice and lacking empathy. Perhaps that is actually how she was as she got on in age.
I guess perhaps one must be that cold to make some of these decisions but in the same sense she is just so unlikeable to me and I don't think the next King, Wiliam, is that lacking in empathy.
I wonder how close to the truth some of this stuff really is. 
I think it was particularly sad with what I think was episode 3. 
It is when a mine collapsed onto a school killing all in its path in Wales.
She had to be told to show sympathy and to console these parents who just lost their children that day. She took her hanky to a dry eye in front of the cameras to make them think she felt something. 
Which she admits she did not and she doesn't know why.
It is a fascinating look into that odd way of life. 
I would love the money but not being a royal and all the bullshit that goes with it.
I think poor Meagan is finding that out right now, isn't she?
I'm not sure if the first season was terribly accurate but if so I can see why from the time she was such a little girl this stiff upper lip and not showing her cards could make a grown woman turn out this way.

Since I've been gone - 

**Epstein's death was not suicide. (only my opinion like everything on my blog) 
I think that the two federal prison staffers that were taken into custody were taken to prove that. While the charges were about their failure to conduct regular checks on the sex trafficker.  I think everyone knows that it was more of a Ray Donavon type situation. (a fixer) These guys may have been paid to not be there so this could go down. So these regular ole prison staffers are going to be pressured and scrutinized and they will squawk like chickens. 
This alone explains why I must break my habit of watching 20/20, Dateline and 48 hours!
As I said to a friend recently, it's always the damn husband why look anywhere else? Yes, Rick was standing next to me when I said this.
To which Rick replied, "thanks now if something happens to me Susan is going to be telling the police it's always the husband."

"Well, sorry bud. But it is always the husband, why can't you just leave? Why must you always kill everything and everyone in your path?"

"Well, I didn't do it. Don't make it sound so personal."

Rick tells me he'd never kill me because he's messy which of course makes me laugh out loud. 
He goes on,  "You always tell me I could never commit a crime because I am so messy I'd lead the police right to where I am" 

"True Richard"

"Besides you have also told me numerous times as well as everyone else I might add, that I could leave you but you're going with me. So if I am somewhere and you're not, I am doomed don't you see?" 

"Now you see how I am plotting this tale, Rick, I'm not just a pretty face you know...tee hee"

"I'm sleeping with my eyes open Margaret!"
