Save me from Kolaches/Unpopular Gypsy Rose Blanchard opinions

My job interview today felt solid. I think I scored a second one - reading between the lines of how it ended. Could I handle that position? Probably. Would it be a challenge? Absolutely.

I was about to say “anything has to be better than nothing at this point” but that doesn’t feel true. Still... am I supposed to keep twiddling my thumbs into an indefinite forever of unemployment, round 2? I think not. Must make the best of this down time.

I saw a Dave Ramsey quote that went along the lines of “Children make choices based on what ’feels good’ - adults make choices based on their long term plans.”

That prevented me from spending 25$ on Grubhub Kolaches today, so from the bottom of my heart - thanks Dave.

I haven’t watched “Mommy Dead and Dearest” in a year, so I popped that in tonight. Highly freakish, tragic, and baffling. Other than saying “Everyone in that story except for the dad and stepmom is mentally disturbed” - I don’t know what else to say. I used to watch it obsessively. It’s fascinating in the worst possible way.

Unpopular opinion: Gypsy is disturbed, potentially dangerous, and her mother sparked some degree of manipulation and evil in her. She wasn‘t charged with first degree murder. I’m glad she wasn’t. HOWEVER.. I don’t like her play-acting baby voice and she knows what she’s doing. It’s unnerving and she’s clearly smart as hell.

I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m victim blaming - what she went though was an unimaginable and very specific horror. Nothing will make that okay. But victims of abuse can still grow into unsafe adults who mirror their experiences into adulthood. I’m shocked at the amount of blind supporters she has. The documentary clearly had an agenda that a lot of people swallowed.

SHRUG EMOJI!?
