What!

I am at church and roommate calls wanting to come home cause everything is so expensive. I told him I don't want him to come back. Lord give me strength. I demanded rent money from my roommate because I was having financial difficulties from not working and living off savings. Recently, I had to fix several things in my house, which drained my savings. I gave him an eviction notice on paper, demanding rent if he was to remain living here. Then my basement flooded, which they helped out with. He got a job delivering pizzas, so I extended the eviction date. October, he was to pay rent or leave. At the end of October, I asked if he was paying his rent; we agreed to $500. He chose to leave on Halloween in the afternoon. Sunday morning, while I was in Bible Study at church, he called me, wanting to come back into the house. I told him I didn't want him back. I wanted to scream obscenities. He couldn't go 24 hours without me. Of course, later, my roommate and girlfriend showe...

Goodbye Roommate and Girlfriend

My roommate and his girlfriend left today as I was preparing to carve pumpkins to make Jack o'lanterns. Whether road trip across country or find a new place to live in another part of the country remains to be seen. His plan is to stay in hotels and do food delivery across the country. They plan to go see mountains. My part of America is flat as a pancake. Good luck to them. I feel so happy and huge relief once they left. A lot less stress supporting them. Sure they will clean the house and do yardwork, everything but pay rent.

Happy Halloween

Well, Trick-or-Treating is over for this year, had beautiful warm weather, and I had 2 kids to my door. I see why my neighbors keep their porch lights off. What is the point when hardly anybody shows up? Only 1 neighbor on my block had their porch light on for Trick or Treaters. And there are kids in the neighborhood because I see them walking my dogs. I've met at least a dozen kids on our walks, and we walk about a mile around the neighborhood. I joined the Teal Pumpkin Project to offer toys and not just candy that can trigger kids' food allergies. I turn on the news and other parts of town are full of kids in costumes Trick or Treating. Not on my side of town. They must all go to the mall, zoo, or Trunk or Treat places.

Pilates session that wasn't

I am getting ready to give up ever getting certified. Client fails to show up for their session 2 weeks in a row. Lead instructor said I did a good job at my last audition to assistant teach and still won't let my assistant teach, 3 auditions now. Of course I will use up my personal practice hours before I quit. No point being here if won't let me teach.

Halloween Card

Got a Halloween card from my sister. She wrote a note how my niece loves dressing up and decorating for Halloween. She even puts a costume on their dog. I sent a text to tell my niece that it proves she is related to me.

RIP Patrick Stewart

RIP Captain Picard. My sister loved Star Trek so of course I watched at her house when visiting her.

RIP Susan St James

I loved Kate and Allie growing up. RIP Kate. I guess she was in McMillon and Wife. I thought she seemed familiar when I watched old reruns back when I cable TV.

Bathroom Flood

What a morning. Wake up, get breakfast ready, and hear water dripping. Check the toilet I just flushed, and there is water all over the bathroom floor. Unclog the toilet with the plunger. I figure I will just eat breakfast and clean it up later. My roommate came upstairs asking about my scream when I saw the flooded bathroom and the water from the ceiling was dripping into the basement on top of the humidifier. Now he says I have to get a new humidifier because it is soaked with water. Can't we just wipe it off? No, water is getting into the opening that sucks in the air to cool it into condensation in the bucket. Sigh. I'm eating my breakfast first before dealing with the basement water and humidifier. I wiped up the bathroom water, so that should stop dripping into the basement.

Poopy Smell

Go to bed and thought the dog farted really stinky. It hung around so turned on the light to check for poop. I found it on my bed cover complete with litter on my blanket. Rufus! Bad dog saving cat poop on my bed.

Brunch Sunday

While eating brunch, I walked to the rest room to have a baby in high chair wave and say hi to me. Of course I stopped and waved back with a hi. The mother eating her brunch smiled.
