One NEW Day At A TimDay 19 & 2

Day 24

Monday, September 15, 2014

I would like, again, to make it clear that this blog is only my personal observations and feelings as well as being a sort of  journal.  I can’t always make everyone ahppy.  Apparently I frequently offend people, though I don’t mean to.  Sometimes people have had comments about things that weren’t even directed at them (guilty conscience??).  I backed off for a few days to “regroup”.   But, for the most part, I do now live in a small apartment with someone who *can* be quite difficult.  I’m not claiming to be perfect myself of course.  I have a lot of emotional baggage still to work my way through.  The difference is in that no one is “tiptoeing” around my feelings for fear of making me sad again; but I tend to feel I have to be super careful not to set off a bout of rage.  Since I have no one, most of the time, to talk to .. I “talk” here.  So again .. if you don’t like what I say, just don’t read.

(side note, which I find, in retrospect, kind of comical:  DN was upset that someone was made at her over something I said… without really grasping it was over something she did, only that I said something about it!)

On Friday around mid to late morning DIL and I left for our weekend.  She had a doctor appointment, and we went there firt.  Then a quick trip to WalMart, and on to DB/SIL’s house. On Saturday we went out to run a bunch of errands, and eat at Chik-Fil-A.  DB is good at just driving around, which I’ve always enjoyed (riding I mean! LOL). 

That night we went to a local play.  It was a musical comedy, quite funny, and we had a lovely time.  When we got back we surprised SIL with a birthday (cheese)cake.

On Sunday we took our time being lazy until early afternoon.  Then DIL and I headed home, but went by way of the next town over .. she found a good Groupon and treated me to a pedicure.  (way overdue!).   After a quick stop at a grocery store for salads, we came back and had a relaxing evening here, watching a movie.

Today a new week starts.  As of today I “technically” no longer rent the house I lived in for 13 years.  Since I haven’t been able to go back for the last few weeks, I’m very much afraid the place was not left in as good condition as it should have been.  I did have someone go in and clean as best she could.  Hopefully trash was taken off over the weekend as promised.  But the ReStore people never went, and I don’t know if they’ll be able to go tomorrow .. or if the house will even be unlocked for them.  It worries me, but there’s really nothing I can do.  As of now the past due rent is due, but I’m still waiting for some expected income for that.  Nothing I can do about it for now.

For today, and this week, I have to cancel the electric; verify my next doctor appointment; go to the bank; get laundry caught up; and continue unpacking and working on the apartment.
