Busy Upsetting my Roommate

Since fridge is low on food and not planning to grocery shop until tomorrow, I went on the food delivery app to order food. Well, my account has been de-activated since no longer do food delivery so sign up for app under a different email. First choice was Dairy Queen, but all they had on the app was ice cream. I wanted their chicken strips. Since we are out of pizza, I ordered pizza from roommate's job. Got 50% off deal being a new member. Realized, it would not be delivered by roommate or his coworkers so ordered another pizza through their website. Maybe he would deliver it, maybe he wouldn't.

Roommate comes home raging I am to never order pizza delivery at his job again. He doens't want his coworkers hanging around our home. Well, ok, I'll go through the food delivery app if I want pizza again. He threw a fit when I ordered pizza from another restaurant. Then, the real reason he is angry. He was about to clock off when manager offered my pizza delivery (the reason he knews this is because his girlfriend told him I ordered pizza at his job). Since he didn't realize it was our address (they don't tell them the address until after the accept to do the delivery), he declined it because he was about to clock out. So it went to another driver. He is angry with the manager, not me for ordering pizza. His manager gave him a hard time after declinign the delivery. I gave his coworker a $5 tip through my credit card. I asked if he would feel better if I gave him the tip I would have given if he were the driver of my pizza. All I had was $10 in cash that roommate gave me a week ago. He accepted it. I knew it might not be him, but could be his coworker. He said next time order earlier in his shift. Ok, I can do that.

Therapy Appointment

Had my first therapy session with the physical therapist. Thinks it could take a few months to make sure the progress doesn't regress and get worse. Did the dry needles thing, and the foot is a little tender, so keeping pressure off. Dogs are depressed that I haven't walked them since Friday. I do walk around the yard with Rufus, but Anna doesn't follow me.

Heel Pain Won't Go Away

Went to the physical therapist for heel pain, and he thinks it's plantar fasciitis from increased dog walking in the pleasant weather. I've been preparing the dogs for Gray's Lake, and I am now unsure I can handle it. Wish me luck.

Happy Mother's Day

Went to church to have my brother and sister-in-law not come because my brother was sick. Visited my Mom and Grandma at the cemetery on this blessed Mother's Day. Left a red rose with black ribbon for Mom and yellow carnation for Grandma. Sister said she got the bill for putting Mom's death date on the tombstone so it was the first time viewing it. Then went to Dairy Queen.

Rosie was walking funny, and it appeared that her splint dressing was falling off, so we hopped it to the vet to have her dressing changed. Well, they thought she was mostly healed, not needing her splint, so they gave her back without it. Low exercise so she doesn't reinjure herself. Took cats outside. Rosie got into the birdbath.

Then checked email. Nice. The online education website that was recently compromised by scammers included my Pilates education account along with other nearby schools. Now I have to change my password. Received an email that my email, name, etc., may have been compromised. Well, thanks to other retail online shop breaches, my personal information is already on the dark web.

Required CPR class

Had 6 people at my CPR class, all women. Then come home to have Anna bring me a dead bird missing it's head and organs exposed so sure my pets didn't kill it. They would chomp like a toy, not rip the the head off. Probably raccoons or possums.

Another Fight with Roommate

Roommate is whining about doctor fees when he lost his Medicaid and has no insurance. Has some spot on his jaw that hurts and goes to Urgent Care cause he thinks it's cancer to have it checked. Returned without seeing the doctor because they want $115 just to be seen. Yeah, that is how visiting doctors work. They charge for office visits to take your temperature and blood pressure. He thinks that is unfair. Maybe, but doctors can charge whatever they want so to be treated by them you pay their prices or don't be seen by them. He complains I am arguing with him when he needs help and complains my deescalation skills suck. What does expect me to say? That's life whether he likes it or not.

Call for Interview

Well, I finally got another call to set up an interview. The problem is that the job is selling insurance. I'm done with unemployment and am not interested in a part-time insurance agent job that pays commission only. No, thank you.

Dog Walk Disaster

Had a loud fight with roommate. I took the dogs out for a walk a couple of hours ago. Roommate wants to take the dogs out for a walk, too. OK, the girlfriend returns with Anna cause they took off the leashes across the street, but Rufus takes off down the street while Anna returns to the house. Roommate runs down the street to get Rufus. Almost gets hit by 2 cars and when roommate picks up Rufus, he bites him. They return, and roommate is furious that he had to chase Rufus down and stop him from getting hit. He grabs Rufus to take him to the basement room. He declares he will take him for another walk to bond with him. I tell him no. He is too upset, and Rufus doesn't need another bonding walk to learn to obey roommate. I knocked on the door and demanded that Rufus leave his room. He was in a cardboard box, shaking and fur wet with pee. Roommate refuses, screaming at me how I don't train my dogs. Funny, dogs obey me, and I release the leashes after we are back in the house. I pull the "He's my dog, and I want him to leave your room. You are angry and scaring him." He flips over a box, and I call Rufus to me. Then he storms upstairs, screaming my de-escalation skills suck. He is training Rufus cause I am so terrible at it. Lists all the treats and lettign them out to pee when I was workign he has done for me. Then roommate collapsed on the floor, coughing, and is now in the bathroom with his girlfriend. I think they are taking a shower. No more walking Rufus. I am putting my foot down.

PS. He came out of the bathroom calmed down and apologized for screaming at me. I explained that's why I wanted my dog out of his room. We agreed no more walks with Rufus.
