The Invisible Woman Chronicles

 For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why the extra money I gave to Macy's wasn't showing up.  Since my balance was getting lower and could see the light of being paid off, I tried working on making extra payments.  I am close.  I thought I'd have it paid off this month but I thought where is the $50 payment I made a couple of weeks ago?  It got applied to a different card.  Sigh.  It's ok.  I'll try it again later this month.  I know I put a note where to apply it, but mistakes happen and it's not a tragic one.  If anything I'll have it paid off before year's end.  I wish I could say the same about all of them. I got a flyer in the mail about my benefits enrollment.  I signed in to look and see what plan I had last night.  I wasn't sure.  I think I'll just get an increase in what they deduct.  What's new?  I was worried my deductible was going up.  I think my dental is going up as well too.  ...

 I made it another six months with the dentist.  After he said Good for now and we won't do anything, it took me a moment to wonder What did you mean?  Well.  I'll find out six months from now.  It's a little nerve wracking going to someone new.  I don't know what to do about the whole mouth guard thing either.  Well.  I'll have money six months from now for that moment.   And screw you Walgreens in my old neighborhood. I hated your stupid store for the 21 years I lived there and you still suck.  I just park there and walk over to my appointment.  Been doing it for years!  A lot of times I walk in there and might buy something.  Well today, there was a sign that said no parking for more than 30 minutes or you get towed.  BOOO!!!  Oh yes, everyone is rushing to go to Walgreens because there's none in the area.  Oh no! I decided to park in the Tippecanoe parking lot.  Kind of weird to actually come f...

I don't know if taking off for the dentist will be a barrel of laughs but it'll be nice to get away for an afternoon.  At least the weather is nice.   Now I do dread seeing my emails. Last week two of the three people who give me the most work were gone.  It was nice to catch up and easier but now it's game on.  I'm worried about one situation.  One person kind of expects me to magically figure things out when I need their help.  I have a feeling I'm going to get blamed for this situation and that aggravates me.  I get tired of getting blamed for stuff when I'm supported at times.  When they say things roll downhill, I feel like I got a boulder coming at me. Honey Bear spent more time with me yesterday.  I'm glad she's comfortable and is getting used to us.  I kind of worried she would be too standoffish.  She's looking out the window now so that's a good thing. I looked at some of my past blood work and I noticed that there wa...

 I better not be the recipient of anyone's bad mood when I sign in tomorrow.  I might look forward to the dentist in the afternoon if I got to deal with that in the morning.  The diva put up her doctor's name and location of her appointment.  I felt like I violated HIPPA without even trying.  I'm not sharing my location.  Mind your business.  Someone said they were going to the dentist and she replied, I love clean teeth.  Well, I would hope we all like clean teeth.  What a weird person.  The thirst for attention is real.  No shock on the former cheerleader revelation. Today I had a bit of a better day with Honey Bear.  She slept on my bed for most of the afternoon.  I was shocked.  I fell asleep for awhile.  I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn't go back to sleep. I took something and I hate that it makes me sleepy during the day.  I hate that I asked to have my milligrams reduced because I sai...

I could just spend the day in bed but I won't.  Got to get my butt out the door and get my walking in for the morning.  Maybe mom will be up for going to the thrift store we passed yesterday. She said it doesn't have to be today.  Well maybe today is a good day to go. I felt bad she felt rejected by Honey Bear.  I know Precious was her chair buddy before she passed.  She was my work mate too.  She would park herself on the trunk next to my desk and take her afternoon nap.  It gets lonely looking over that stand and not see her there. Honey Bear is taking time.  She's not going anywhere.  It's just this whole adjustment phase for her.  She did spend a lot of time in my mom's room initially and I think my mom got hurt that she moved over to the dining room recliner or my room.  She wanted her to bond with me.  I think she just missed her coming to bed next to her every night. I said she definitely doesn't sleep with me.  Doe...

Don't tell Lois I'll be in her old neighborhood this morning.  I figured since I wouldn't be far from there after my walk, I'd venture in and see their ice cream sandwich selections.  Mom is sending me on a mission since my nephew will be here next weekend to ply him with all the junk food he likes.  I'm ok with that and I think he will be too. I don't know if I'll get any stamps today since my budget is low until Wednesday.  Sigh.  Didn't win the lottery on Thursday.  Would have been nice if I got enough for more stamps.  Oh well.  I'll be ok.   I told my mom last night it was hard writing some of these letters because you're sharing your personal story and I'd think wow.  My life kind of sucks.  It doesn't.  It's struggling that sucks.   For anyone that thinks I need to be around people in the daytime, you can go jump in the lake or get your head examined.  I was a little upset that I got a terse email fro...
