Birthday lunch for March birthdays

Stress. Having lunch to celebrate March birthdays today. Sigh. Food place chosen has pickles included with every sandwich on the menu. I asked for no pickles on my sandwich cause of my allergies. I hate eating out with people. I know I'm a freak who doesn't like spicy food and allergic to pickles. I brought food from home just in case. At least I was warned to bring cards for the birthdays so I wasn't the only one without a card to give.

Had a lovely lunch with everyone at work. Food was okay. Roommate called in the middle of it cause he fell off his scooter to hurt himself. He might ned urgent care. That led to questions of how we met and where he came from. He started new job today so happy about that. Then it got brought up he started new job a month ago. What happened with that? That didn't work out. That led to my kindness being abused which led to fearing for my life cause I have an inheritance coming and bums can easily kill me to empty my accounts. My family has already relayed their fears about my roommate and squatters rights cause my roommates are inable to get a job and/or keep a job more than 3 weeks. I swear sometimes I want to sell my house, buy a camper, leave everyone behind to start fresh somewhere else to cut all contact with everyone cause I am getting sick and tired of people telling me how to run my life. I have to careful what I say on social media cause it will make me look bad. I don't post about everything up here. There was time I was injured and none of you saw my roommate's face when he found me. He was worried about me to get me help I needed. You expect me to believe this is a cold heartened killer. He had 2 years to steal from me. You don't know him like I do. All you see is unemployed guy and you jump to conclusions. I am sick of it to divorce everyone.

New Medicaid requirements

State Legisalture is working on requiring work of at least 8 hours a month to keep Medicaid. Yeah, both leeches in my house are on Medicaid so they better find jobs to keep it. Roommate has a dentist appointment in a month to get his wisdom teeth pulled. He needs to keep the Medicaid. I wonder about people who can't get hired. They say recession is coming and lots of government employees are out of work.

Sad News

So sad. My Mom's friend she met at her senior living apartment had died. He had a stroke that paralyzed half his body and was so happy when she visited. We chose to place her in the same skilled care center so they could visit each other. I guess he faded away when Mom died. At least they are together again.

Spring is Here

Oh happy day. I looked outside into the backyard and my flowers coming up and grass turning gree. Spring is here. Gave dog her first bubble bath in the tub. She is starting to stink. She tolerated it and then jumped out.

Happy St Patrick's Day

Had a trying day. Was told to prepare letters and update client info in the system on Friday. Now this person who gave me a list of clients to service is upset I did as I was told and condescending (Don't you think... As if I am paid to think and would know what they would do). I needed to wait until they confirmed the info in system A before updating system B. And I was suppose to know or ask if system A was correct before working down the list of client names given to me updating system B. Why didn't this person confirm all such info before giving me this list of clients telling me to to update their info?

Later I explain to secretary that I am getting frustrated. These people are never around and only come in for client meetings which means they are busy preparing for the meetings when they are there. I actually said to the secretary with arms spread out in a surrender, What do they want from me? Training is practically nonexistent.

New glasses arrived

Went in to get my new glasses. It is so nice not to wear broken glasses anymore. Adjusting to the shift in the bifocals. That was fun driving home.

Visited sister

Visited sister about their visit to the financial advisor. I made my appointment for next week. She gave me some of Mom's things. Got the paperwork to do her taxes. Mom owes of course cause she had trouble figuring out to take taxes out when she removed money out of IRAs then refused to pay estimated taxes. Got home and put stuff away. Got screamed at by my roommate that I am irresponsible with money getting a dog and spending moeny on it. I have to buy dog food and I am getting koney soon I am buying my new dog a few things like toys and a bunny hoodie (she is adorable in it). And he spotted fleas in the house and can't go through another infestation. I can call an exterminator when I get my money from the financial advisor. I got the dog flea medicine so they should be safe. I have a flea comb.

Then he freaks out on me talking the dog for a walk in the neighborhood because he has heard gang whistles walking to work and taking the dog to a local park for quality time with his girlfriend. They like to play on the swings. I can get shot and my dog stolen cause Corgis ar expensive dogs. I rarely see cop cars around and see my fellow neighbors walking their dogs and I am supposed to believe I live ina dangerous neighborhood. He calls my area the "hood". He demands I take my phone and pepper spray when I take the dog out for a walk. He also doesn't want me to walk the dog at the lcoal lake cause they can bring home fleas from other animals. Fleas are already here. He says he can't wait to leave this house when he gets some money. Go on, then. I won't beg him to stay. He pushes me to financial ruin not working. I got him a scooter to do food delivery and he doesn't make much.

Winter morning, Summer afternoon

Went to work in a sweater and winter coat since it was 32 degrees outside. Leave work and it's 80 degrees so took off sweater and coat to go walking at local lake. Lots of people, families, and dogs. Had trouble finding a parking spot. Came home to turn on the A/C.

Purchased some popcorn at work and it got stuck. Could not shake it loose. Called for a refund. Have to wait until Friday. Spotted a trapped Skittles. Purchased a candy that set the Skittles free and got both candies. Good day.

Construction at my walking trail

Had a wonderful walk around Gray's Lake which is under construction until next spring. Seriously, who starts landscaping products in January? Thanks mild winter.

I got a dog today at the animal shelter. Been looking at shelter animals since my furbabies died. I need another pet. Her name is Anna. Her prior owner had to surrender her for health reasons so I assume that means a nursing home. She is 4 years old and a Corgi so not too big for my small house. She is so happy and eager for attention. No anxiety or fear I expected from a dog changing owners. She only been in the shelter a few days, they didn't have her picture up on the website, just the breed. I was worried about being allergic and reacted to the room, but not to the dog brought to me. I petted her, fed some treats that she refused, and didn't want to play. The sad part is I can't share this on social media cause of all the grief I get from people who tell me not to get a new pet. I have litter boxes and food and treats for cats. I am getting cats someday. I waited months to get rid of these stupid fleas to get a new pet. I've wanted a dog since I was a kid. My aunts had dogs and I love animals.

Adopting her was awkward, had a couple of ladies who wanted to adopt her cause the older lady needed a companion dog and I had to watch the shelter volunteer explain she had been adopted. I didn't say a word. I even stopped at the old hotel to show off my dog. Hadn't seen them for 2 months so I had to say hello eventually. This dog walked 2 miles around this lake trail without rest. She has stamina. She jumps into bed with me and slept on my feet. She knows I'm the master who feeds.

I felt an urgency to get a dog cause I keep having bad visions of being robbed and murdered in my sleep. In the dream, someone shoots me, steals from the living room, and then runs into my roommate in thr kitchen who fights him off. He calls the cops crying his roommate was murdered and he is covered in blood (but not mine). There is a cat in the dream who hides under the bed when the intruder come to the door of my bedroom. There is no dog in the dream. I wanted a noise maker more than guard dog. Hopefully this dream won't come true and just a warning.

Happy Ash Wednesday

Hallelujah, Praise the Lord! I received approval to be in Local Farmers Market. Hoping to make money and get my name out. People aren't going to buy your merchandise if they don't know you exist. With Mom's money I might expand (not too fast cause that is how I got into trouble last time being too optimistic). I am thinking food items and start a video channel to promote it, or tie dye clothings, or designing t-shirts. Been looking at heat oresses for tumblers, mugs, shirts, bags, and even pens. I need to decide on a method. I researched magnets and photo pins too. So much equipment to buy.

Had fun getting to work this morning sliding around a few times. Then came home to my locks frozen so couldn't get the key in the hole. Went to the front door and roommate opened it. Pointed out the foot and half tall snow drift that is too high to plow through without injury so we dug a hole in the drift so I could get the car in the garage. How was your day?

Happy Mardi Gras

Happy Gras, Fat Tuesday, Carnival, whichever you call it. I was working then went home.

Christmas yard decorations down

Well, I did it at last. The day was sunny and warm and tomorrow will have a storm (rain or snow or who knows). I brought in the Christmas decorations from the yard and unplugged the icicle lights on the roof. Now have to put them back in their boxes and take them downstairs. Spring is coming.

Worked on items to sell for Easter. Probably won't sell anything but have to get stuff up o my shop the farmer's market people to see what I would sell.
