Talk Time with Hope

So, my CA125 (blood tumor marker) came back with it being a bit higher then 3 months ago. But this gal ain't gonna worry about it. Gonna instead trust that it will go back down and leave it at that. Now, feel free to fast forward but I'm bringing up facemasks again as today I was told my attitude was not good for doing my job. Ugh! Lastly, talking about the craziness of TTT, AKA Talk To Text. It's...

We got some serious rain, here in Texas. Loved it...but not the humidity! Had two passengers that were RUDE (rude rider NOT driver 😂🙈). Ain't nobody got time for that! Seriously! Cases of covid19 still rising. 👎🏾 Have you heard of the Girl Scout murders? It was back in the late 70's. Very interesting in that the murder was never (officially) solved. 👎🏾😔 I so could not be a parent, a mother.

My doctor thinks I look good (healthy) and won't see me for another three months. Yay! I have a sweet friend, from high school, that does the kindest thing in sending me a card from time to time. Her kindness has me missing friends that are simply less and less in my life these days. And talking about covid19 and how just cause we don't see doesn't make it not real. 😷

What a great day! Dark clouds and rain! Yay! It was nice seeing my family too. Y'all need to get with WhatsApp--it is so cool! And great for sending & receiving audio messages. (Shout out to my new British friend 🇬🇧) 📱 Anywho, I'll be getting my quarterly blood work done tomorrow. I'm keeping the faith that the results will be excellent! I'm ready to get this darn port taking out of my chest. And...

Sorry I forgot to do an episode yesterday. How y'all doing? I'm doing my best to eat healthy BUT man oh man is eating salads time consuming. Like seriously! Alright, love giving more rides these days. But what is up with 80% of my riders not tipping? Not even ONE dollar! Really!? Gonna go out then give your driver a little something something. 👊🏽👍🏽Oh and big yay for all riders wearing a mask t...

One of the best things about being a rideshare driver is the amazing passengers I meet. Was blessed with meeting a very nice lady today--who may be the 4th person following my podcast. Wat! Wat! Now, what is up with the Republicans not getting another stimulus package out yet? Like, all things are pointing to the need being there. Mitch McConnell needs to take action already! Oh how the government...

So, Season 3 will be 20 episodes. The 20 represents my life at 20 and what was going on at that time. I'm talking tonight about how I had my first (and really only) suprise birthday party and my first love while stationed at Treasure Island, San Francisco. And getting stationed in Hawaii. Talk about some amazing times! ***I am choosing to not use gender when describing people I've been in relation...

Talking about masks. Specifically, people not wearing their face mask when riding in the darn ride share car. More specifically, my ride share car! Come on people! This is for our protection AND the greater good.

End of Season Two! Talking about two things that I feel are signs from God, that He is near & telling me that I'm not alone. And sharing why I have been hesitant to share the link to my podcast with more people- that I know. 🙈

Giving y'all some of the things that are hard as a ride share driver. And giving you the story of how I ended up in teaching in Saudi Arabia. Saudi 🇸🇦 *** Yes, my voice sounds a liittle bit different because I was dealing with allergies and was extremely exhausted. ***

I'm discovering (more) that those on my Facebook aren't really friends. Like do we really know the people we allow on our page? I feel we don't. Not until things like what is happening around the murder of George Floyd do we start to see who people really are. And it is quite sad. I'm saddened by how people don't want to see things differently. They just see it there way and as if they are right t...

Had a guy try to get out of paying for his ride share bill. Uhhh, no sir! I really think that ride share drivers need to be acknowledged. Is it just me? 🤔

Talking about one of the most extreme hiking/jogging places I've ever been to… since the army anyway! Seriously, it was nice to work out for almost an hour however I probably won't visit that place again! Why? Because there were so many rocks & steps of going up and going down and backup and back down and for somebody with my knees and me being prone to clumsiness it's just not probably safe for m...

It's great to see people, from celebrities to people in the churches, standing up and speaking out against the injustices within lawenforcemet. Great to hear the the cop that killed George Floyd is being charged for murder. That they have concluded that Mr. Floyd died by asphyxiation. One step closer to him spending the rest of his days in prison. Talking, also, about how people can change in a ne...

Talking about how I was really hoping 2020 was gonna be a great year. And how that had not been the case. With all this protesting and civil unrest (brought on by people who have nothing to do with the movement for justice) will covid19 get worse? And have you heard of the hactivists, Anonymous?

Just a quickie letting y'all know that you can't subscribe but rather you can FOLLOW me on your apps that play my podcast. Yay! So, please push that FOLLOW button. And keep coming back for more. 😊✌🏾👍🏽

Talking about when I was 19 and met my first adult partner. Sharing some crazy it's a small world after all moments that have happened recently. And talking about smiling even when it's hard to smile amongst the bad going on in this world.

Had a great time rideshare driving today! Met lots of cool people, but two in particular that could be a future guest on my Podcast. Whoop whoop! Talking about how people choose interesting pictures of them on the ride share app. Is it me being a bit "prudish" or do you think (for safety reasons) people need to put a picture of them (like their face) on the app--if they choose to have a picture to...

I chew gum like it's my job. So when I tell you gum is bad, it's bad. So bad I had to talk (vent) about it! 😂 OK, met a super cool awesome guy who I was blessed to drive a few days ago. I hope to have him as a future guest on my podcast! And lastly, I know I know it's been talked about before, but this subject ain't going away. That subject being covid19. It ain't gone, y'all! Yet some people act...

Talking about why I have decided to continue driving during the morning instead of going back to night driving. **Hint: drunk entitled folks** Also, a little about the latest person of color (George Floyd) being arrested and ended up dead from the police officer putting his knee on his neck. And how protest should happen but peacefully. 👍🏽 Reminder: I do not believe that ALL caucasian people are...

Talking about my hospital appointment-- had the port in my chest flushed (cleaned). Also, a little about my thoughts about getting chemotherapy again...IF cancer was to ever return. And lastly, what is really the big deal about wearing masks during this these covid19 times??? 🤷🏽‍♀️😷

Talking about how I should have bought a case for my new phone. Or rather not have bought one that would take FOREVER to get to me. And talking a little wee bit about customer service, specifically communication. ***Don't be like Hope, buy a case as soon as you can.***

Talking about how (some) people are not wanting to go back to work BECAUSE they are making more money than they did at work. Sharing my thoughts on that. Also, people lying about having covid19 just so they don't go back to work. 🤬 Churches re-opening. ***And my Monkey is doing alright. Still not close to 100%, but better than the other day.***

Oh the joys of living in an apartment complex! Didn't sleep well last night! It is nice to see the flags at half-staff, to remember those lost in battle while in the military AND to those we have lost from covid19. Should we have a wall one day with all the names of those that died from the 2020 pandemic? ***I know I said "flags half-staff" a gazillion time. 🙃🙃🙃***

Today has me talking about my cats, my babies.. About being a pet owner. About how our pets are more than being pets, they are our family. The hardship, at times; of it but how it is so worth iit. **May need a tissue**
