The Invisible Woman Chronicles

Yeah, no such thing as a 24 hour sinus infection.  More like 24 days that feels like 24 months.  I saw someone yesterday to get on antibiotics.  I had them before.  Always seemed like they ran out too fast but if they can help ease me along for the next week, I'll take it. It was really quiet when I went into the clinic yesterday.  Guessing a lot of doctors are out on spring break so I wound up seeing a physician's assistant which is fine with me.  I don't stray from my doctors but if I need something like that, I got to go with whoever will take me. I probably should have went to the urgent care we have in the area on Saturday but I thought this might be a weird fluke and I'm on the mend.  Every time I kept thinking I was ok I'd have a coughing fit.  I definitely don't recommend this diet.  At least I'm not gaining weight.  Been living on fruit bars, pretty much. I usually regret it when I try something like a slice of cheese. I probabl...

 I've had my share of women interfering in my love life.  Don't get me wrong.  They did me a favor but it's also disappointing when other women have been involved.  I could do a series on each one, but today's episode of Other Women belongs to Alison, Harold's ex and "friend".  I am doing an eye roll as I say this as well.  Yeah, he was probably doing the dirty deed with her. My first inkling of her appearance came on my first visit.  I spent most of the night sitting up and talking to Harold and having this magical bonding appearance.  We slept for 2 hours.  I heard him get up and I could hear him in the bathroom talking to someone. I wasn't suspicious but I wondered.  I got up and didn't eavesdrop.  He told me it was his sister.  She was worried about his parents. I brushed it off.  I did raise an eyebrow when I saw him step away when we had breakfast that morning.  He had to go to work and he said it was his job ca...

 It seems to be lasting longer but it's not as painful as it was last night.  I was kind of worried. I couldn't sleep and I thought I'm going to have to go to urgent care in the morning. I seem to be ok this morning or this afternoon. I did doze off a little bit watching my Bravo shows, much to my dismay. I never want to doze during the reunion shows damn it.   I actually wonder if this is an almond allergy. Sounds crazy but I wonder.  My mom had brought home from raw almonds from one of the food pantries and I kept grabbing a few here and there.  Then I started with the coughing.  I thought maybe I swallowed some salt or something but I didn't have salt!  I googled raw almonds and I thought oh shit. I didn't realize you could have an allergy.  It was related to tree pollen?  I'm not diagnosing myself off of Google but I kind of panicked when I saw that.   I kept sipping water and staying hydrated.  Then my voice started c...

My favorite app is gone.  It's still on my phone but I guess the company shut down yesterday.  I didn't know about it until I saw comments on Facebook. Me being the Shopkick dork that I am, had signed up on a Facebook group to get maybe some tips on how to get more points or kicks.  I could see everyone commenting that they had about $100 or $200 they had built up that's gone.   Damn it.  I can't complain because I was a little short of $5.  Big deal.  I have doing this app for 10 years and unfortunately I can't see how much I've earned in those 10 years. I think about $3600 last time I checked? I didn't really do as much during covid but once we got that rent increase, I pushed harder to get more points.  It did seem like during Covid, you couldn't get as many points as you could before.  Then there were the shoplifters that locked up merchandise you couldn't get at.  Damn it again. I was seeing signs that this app was losing more ...

I think the dog next door has run away officially.  This really upsets me.  I haven't seen him for the last few days. I know.  Why didn't I knock on their door?  I've done it before and nobody would answer.  It didn't even look like anyone was at home when I came back from chasing him down the block.  He ran into a neighbor's yard across the street. This has been one of several incidents where we've caught the dog wandering around and we've had to coax him back in.  The gate is always open and he can get out.   About two years ago, they had a couple of other dogs get poisoned.  He was the last dog left and you would think that they wouldn't do something like leave the damn door open. I think they were negligent dog owners.  I'm mad at them and sad about their dog.  Shame on them. 

Ah, they strike again.  I actually took it rather calmly when I realized what was done. I had received notification that I had something rejected.  Not shocked.  It's a difficult website for filing. I think I was more shocked that the lurker didn't put charts and graphs to let me know how stupid I was. When I looked further, I saw that initially I wasn't contacted.  Someone else was notified about this and they questioned the lurker about it.   What was the intent?  It was to make me look bad.  I've seen it before.  The person who questioned her is familiar with me and who I am.  They know I make mistakes and they know I'll fix them.  They may not have known I was the one who would fix it, but still.  They questioned why she was doing this.  The lurker then became the innocent victim. This was what I had for a long time when she entered my life.  It was a lot of behind the scenes reaching out to people privately about...
