The Little Things

Honestly, I’m learning to appreciate the little things in life. I am trying not to stress about things I have no control over such as the fact that sometimes I will not be able to do Transcription work for varying reasons. Today, I will not be working because Mom needs the laptop for job hunting. Fine by me. I wasn’t too enthused to work anyway. Yesterday, I didn’t work because I needed an extra day to recover from Sunday’s onslaught of headaches. (I made the mistake of going to Bingo without being fully  recovered. The hang over was unpleasant, and on top of that, I didn’t win, either)

I went to my craft class last night and had a ball. My library family is always there to make me laugh.  Sharon’s husband Mickey showed up and he and i always banter. The friendship I have with him reminds me of the one that Lindsay has with another friend’s husband. It’s entertaining. Sharon even suggested that she seperate us. LOL.

Tonight is the series finale of The Middle. I have mixed feelings about it. Once I found out it was ending, I distanced myself from the new episodes because I was already way too attached to the series. I really fell as though Brick Heck and I are kindred spirits, Which, given he’s a a High school junior(now. He was in first grade when the series started, I believe) , is kinda creepy, but seriously, I relate to this kid so much in terms of his love of books, and learning to realize he could have a love of books, and a love for someone outside of the books. I had that once, but it never worked out as intended, and now that person has passed away. The one thing I really like about Brick’s relationship with Cindy is that she doesn’t judge him for his passion, instead she tries to relate. Vice versa, Brick tries really hard to relate to Cindy, too.

Honestly, the whole Heck family is relatable. I’ve never had the stress of being a parent that Frankie and Mike have had.  But I relate so hard to the children. Sue’s consistently trying new things, Axel being the annoying older brother (I didn’t have any older brothers being the oldest, but my little brothers have always been a source of constant frustration… and I love them even more today so it’s all worked out), and of course Brick and his bookworm ways. I’ve always been the quirky kid in the family, with a wild imagination, and really naive and innocent, too. So if I had to pick two of the Heck children that I was most like, it’d be a weird combination of Sue and Brick.

I really have never done good with TV shows ending, especially if I’ve followed it pretty much from the beginning.  But now I’ve got 3 shows ending. Two I knew about and one that came out of left field.  I’m even more upset about this one. Deception was cancelled, and I’m worried we’re not going to get a good resolution since I don’t know if we’ve got enough time to get one. I believe the finale is this coming Sunday. If Cameron doesn’t get Johnny out of jail and this woman who’s been playing them doesn’t get caught…Ugh. Damn it, ABC. Why all three shows? -sigh-

Anyway, I’m gonna go now, and chill. I’ve got reading to do. The great thing about books is that they don’t get cancelled, and you can revisit them once you’ve owned them. With most TV shows, once they’re done, they’re done, and no matter how good it is, you eventually forget about it.  Well, I’m making a promise now that I will never forget the Heck family, and I will never forget Jordan, Cameron, or Johnny either. These characters are memorable, and while their stories are ending, I’m going to hope that the fandoms live on.
