Heidis
Last week was super busy. By design. Didn’t wanna have time to think.
We had a double shoot of Scenic Fights and will again this coming weekend. It’s been exhausting.
Brought the kid out to a diner and had brekkie with the ABFF around the way.
Her: You’re both having a burger for breakfast?
Me: (shrugging) It’s the breakfast of champions. Protein, fat, and fiber. What more do you need?
Boy: Burger! Burger! Burger!
Her: Wait, you gave it to him on whole wheat toast?! (to the boy) You know, in the real world, you have burgers on these fluffy, delicious…
Me: (interrupting) Stop undermining!
We almost had to reschedule the Scenic Fights shoot because I couldn’t find anyone to babysit the kid while we did the shoots but Pez came in and saved the day.
Her: Your kid is a RIOT!
He does have his moments.
After one shoot, we grabbed a quick drink before she left.
Me: I’m gonna warn you that it’s super sweet.
Her: (tasting the wine) Whoa, that is super sweet.
Me: Well, I’m a bitter person so…
She’s dealing with a whole raft of stuff, but that’s her story to tell. It was nice to catch up.
Which is less than I can say about the Counselor because we were trying to catch up most of the week. But, either something comes up with her or something comes up with me and we have to change plans.
We’re just two too busy people. Maybe this week.
Speaking of stuff to deal with, that girl Heidi, I mentioned, is dealing with some really crazy ones.
To the point that she dropped everything and high-tailed it to Europe for a spell.
Didn’t wanna pry but I’m gonna guess that she didn’t head to Ukraine.
Like Daisy, she’s dealing with a whole mess of things all at once but is trying to be better.
Me: Someone once said, “To try to be better is to be better.” So, I’m glad you’re trying.
Her: Thank you. I have a long way to go and I’m afraid I’ll never get there.
I give credit to people trying to be better. There’re few things more soul-crushing than to try and be told, repeatedly, that nothing is good enough.
Speaking of Heidis, I know a number of women with that name.
One is pretty well known in the cosplay circuit under the name Cosplay Kitten.
Her issues have been leaning towards horror; normally, I wouldn’t tell someone else’s story but she recently put up a GoFundMe for hers, which is cancer. It’s legit crazy how many people I now know with it or had it.
Anywho, if you want to toss some scratch her way, she’s a doll and could use the help here.
Getting back to Scenic Fights, there’s actually video connected to the podcast that mentioned last time, which you can see below.
It’s embarrassing because you literally just see the top of head for most of it.
But, it’s still better than nuthin, which is what happened earlier. See, this was actually the second one we did with these guys; the first one – which was better, IMHO – didn’t record properly so it was lost.
So, if you’ve not heard our podcast yet, here it is again in video. Enjoy my enormous head talking about nonsense.
Location: earlier today, just off Union Square, getting slammed to the ground by Pac
Mood: exhausted
Music: Let’s leave before we eat each other alive (Spotify)
