I Need a Wife

Getting Help from CoPilot

I’ve been saying for years, no decades, that I need a wife. I am a wife. That’s how much I need one. Anyway, I’ve said that jokingly, just to point out how folks who have jobs don’t always have time to do the laundry, the shopping, balance bank and credit card statements, prepare meals, and just generally care for a family. In this instance, it is only my husband and me, so I can only imagine how much harder it is for a family with children. I came from a family with five children, and I know how busy my mother was in caring for all of us. If she’d had a job, well, she would have needed a wife, I suppose.

In any case, I got three particularly confusing things done yesterday and today. One was to figure out what I needed to do to apply for food stamps. We have never applied for assistance, but the time is now, and I just didn’t know where to start. Having recently sold my car and needing to navigate what the DMV wanted, I’d had it up to here with bureaucratic agencies. I wasn’t looking forward to much more.

Anyway, CoPilot helped me with that. We aren’t quite signed up, but at least I know what I should do next. 

The thing I asked CoPilot for help with today was to track down an app I was paying $27.99 a year for. I had no idea where it was or how to access it. Hey, I didn’t even know that if I swiped up on my phone, I could find all my apps. Got that taken care of. 

Then, by chance, I wondered how I could reconnect my diabetes blood glucose monitor with my doctor. It’s been unhooked for almost two months. CoPilot helped with that, too.

All of it was confusing. I’d already tried on my own, on several occasions, to puzzle it all out. CoPilot helped keep me calm enough to crack jokes. To me, being able to see the humor in anything is a sign I’m on an even keel.

I just realized that if I had a personal assistant, or a wife to help me, I just got a whole lot of freedom handed to me on a platter with an AI guy I don’t have to pay or feed.

So, when people talk about how bad AI is, I’m a smiling 70-year-old writer who has more time on her hands to write because of the help of the AI guy at CoPilot.

Just saying.

Thanks for reading.

Reflecting On The World Around Us

I’ve got a problem with exclusion. It’s like a bunch of kids who ostracize somebody just because their parents don’t like that “type of people”. See how well and how early you can teach your kids what is tantamount to a lifetime of prejudice? It’s easy.

We’re all different, one from the other, but our similarities are huge and so much more important than the differences between us.

One of the things I’ve worked on for many years is the idea of acceptance of others. With so many people and factions behaving badly, it’s a tough one sometimes. I’ve actually, from an early age, sought to see the other guy’s view to the point where I would get people angry at me for even thinking such a thing. Lots of people. But I have continued to try to do that.

Yes, it’s been hard at times, but I will circle back and try not to be judgmental.

I have a problem with people hurting each other in either a physical or psychological way. That too is easy. It’s not too far a leap between bickering about a point and tossing an axe. How do I know? It’s all around us.

This is not new, either. Look at every war or tribal disagreement that has happened through the ages. Same shit, different day. Why do we do that to each other? Was this something that we forgot about? Did we ever have it? Why try now? Again.

Okay, so let me approach this from a different angle. Like, I try to find our similarities?

We all breathe. We all eat. We all procreate. Mostly, we go to school or get an education some way or another. Learning the trade of your father and mother is just as much education as going to school. Yes, it’s different, but you still learn something. I know we can do that.

Eventually, everybody gets a job of some sort. Lawyer, farmer, tribesman, weaver, cook, artist, shaman, priest.  You can plan for the job or stumble into one.

Everybody dreams. If you don’t remember your dreams and think you can’t dream, you actually do. Think about remembering them for a week or so. Keep a small notepad beside your bed with a pen or pencil. Think to yourself that you will wake up at the end of a dream and write one or two words on the pad of paper. Then, go back to sleep. In the morning, once you’ve gotten up, that’s when you look at that one word you wrote, and you can remember your dream. You might be surprised. I put that here because my own mother told me she never dreamed. I felt so sorry for her.

As teenagers, our slogan was never to trust anyone over the age of 30. It didn’t matter who it was; just don’t trust them. Well, yes, they were different from us. I’m a baby-boomer, and we were upsetting a world order. The generation before me had experienced World War II. Before that, there was a world economic depression and another World War.

The folks over 30 had major objections to our slogan of not trusting them, but we kept pushing. Like the suffragettes did in the 1840s. We owe a lot to them. But we are still pushing, even into this newest generation. We push. We demand explanations, ones that make sense. We demand justice, and we demand equal treatment, in jobs, in our lives, and in how we think of God.

We don’t always see it. A lot of people over the last decade have lost their jobs and their reputations because of continuing thrusts toward autocracy and just plain bad leadership.

I voted. My vote counts.

Okay, okay, this is leaning out of spiritual experience, but you really can’t separate that from the world we live in. Just keep trying. For the writers out there, keep writing. Please.
