Wyatt and Calvin told me that it might be better if I didn’t talk about Maggie anymore. I do see their point. I see it clearly and yet I am deeply hurt and a little insulted. I did retain the right to post about it here, on la blog, where the masses gather and gawk.
The straw that broke the camel’s back was a long Facebook post about why we, the Ditmarstons, hate and persecute Maggie: why do we loathe her so?
Here are the reasons:
- We are jealous of her
- When Maggie was in Pennsylvania I had that affair with her husband
- She has been on more PTAs than I have
- Calvin is a failed drummer who edited a Red Hot Chili Peppers video
- Calvin does not understand Sesame Street or Silver Cup studios, where Sesame Street is not taped
- I want to be a writer
- I called her a Republican, a “funny word choice for a wannabe writer”
So much right there! It is now all clear to me why she has been doing her thing to us for the past two years.
But now I can’t talk about it to anyone in this family
But I can update La Blog, which I guess I must do because otherwise I am alone in my cone of silence around Maggie. Such a depressing image!
I’m not going to lie, this list hit me hard. Not only do I berate myself for not writing, the crazy neighbor is on to me! In my defense, calling her a Republican really got her. I mean, in this same post she tagged AOC, so clearly she is a true-blue Democrat. She tagged AOC!
We just got back from Spring Break in Los Angeles, where we did touristy stuff and went to a great Easter party where we all danced and so far we don’t have Covid. It was a great vacation and now I feel that there is so much self improvement I must and should do, like pay better attention to my life, exercise with intention, find my missing Mammogram results, heal the ailing cat, write my own stuff with regularity and rigor, see Spiderman, eat smaller lunches and take fewer naps.
There’s so much to do.
