The Invisible Woman Chronicles

 I didn't get to do the walking I wanted to do but I got a lot of driving in.  I had taken a drive to Bay View and I did see a for rent sign.  I did see the price.  Sigh.  My mom and I drove back.  I miss Bay View.  We drove around some neighborhoods that were way out of our league 15 years ago but I was wishful thinking for a nice owner who wanted two old ladies that wouldn't bark at the moon and wouldn't raise around rent 50% every year. Now Bay View is too cool for school for everyone.  I remember when I moved there.  I was a senior in high school and people thought I was moving to the land of gangs.  Not really.  My friends really didn't want to drive to see me or hang out.  I felt the same by that point.  I was done. It was easy for me because we had more access to stores, a bus line and it didn't take me an hour and a half to get to UW-Milwaukee every day.  I took the Oklahoma 5 bus and it took maybe 20 or 25 mi...

 Please no flies, monsters, lurkers, bullies, anything that has made my week difficult. I earned this Saturday.  Tears and fly swatters all. I am going to go out this morning and maybe drive over to Bay View.  Not the cool section but maybe somewhere I can walk and see a random For Rent sign.  Even if we can't afford it or do it at the moment, I need a sign of hope right now.  A sign from the universe that it'll be ok. This goofy cat conned my mom into feeding her before I got up. I was awake and could hear my mom talking to Precious.  Did I feed her when I got up?  A little bit.  Yeah, she conned me too.  She's skinny.  I worry about her losing more weight.  She's been holding her own the last year.  She sits by me at the computer when I type.  My little shadow. I was hoping that the monster would go away for the three day weekend but lucky us, it doesn't appear that anyone wants him around. We are taking a break from dri...

 I almost have my license plate on my car.  I was able to get the front plate taken off and the new one put on but I had to call my mommy to have her find a screw driver that would help me with the back.  Go ahead and judge me.  That one was tough and I got one almost in and the other is being a bitch.  I will be back outside tomorrow and try to get it tightened.  Or hope I see my neighbor across the alley.  I can probably get it.  The humidity was getting to me and all that leaning over and me not being so petite can be wearing on my old lady knees.  I got the front taken care of so that's not so bad, is it?  We are approaching the one year anniversary of getting our rent raised and my mom is freaking her freak even more.  I didn't want her to come downstairs and help me.  I knew she had one of those fancy screwdrivers that could have helped me but that didn't seem to do the trick.  I'm capable of fixing it.  If it f...

 I'm ok with it since it's Friday.  I got up around 4 and I don't think I went back to sleep until shortly before I had my alarm set at 5:00 am.  I can always take a nap when I sign off.  Grateful I don't have to get in a car and drive anywhere.  Then listen to conversations that just annoy me about someone looking at another person crossed eyed and how they're out to get them.  I will be ok today. The lurker will be signing off early and they can stay off.  I'm sure I'll get asked about the email I sent at one point. I have no expectations about anything.  I'm at the point where if someone doesn't want me around, come out and say it.  Quit hiding behind the passive aggressive comments that I come across.  If you don't want to say it to my face, say it to someone so we can all make a change. I am worried because of what happened with Betsy 10 years ago.  It was 10 years ago, why worry?  Well it felt something got damaged when s...

 Just tired of this whole rent thing.  We were going to drive by a place that would border Milwaukee and Butler this weekend but we decided to just try to find something around the southwest or southeast side of the county.  More like southwest with our budget.  I walked past a place on my way to mail something and it was one block over. I googled it on my phone.  $1650 and it is shabby.  I have come across a couple of the neighbors on my walk.  Not worth it. The lurker will be gone in the afternoon. Someone had asked a question that I would know but what do you know, the lurker always always has to inform everyone. Nobody gets to talk or say anything.   I reached out to someone that I was hoping would talk to me about how upset I was.  They had confided in me about how they felt about the lurker.  I got met with silence.  I really like this person and I filled out a form when there was an opportunity for them to go on this lea...

 No flies.  No monster.  No lurker.  Just a normal day without any surprises.  I know.  Good luck with that. I was worried my mom was awake when I got up.  I saw the light from her TV on but she's sleeping.  Good.  She needs more sleep.  She doesn't get enough.  I know anytime I am at the computer she's asking me if I am finding us a new place. I wish.  If I could wave a magical wand and bring one up, I would.  She admitted maybe after the election things will change.  I don't think magic will happen if Kamala wins, but I am hoping that the state will get a democratic majority that Tony Evers can limit some of the landlord power.  Thanks Scott Walker you butt clown.  Creep.  My mom has some addresses of rentals maybe more in the Wauwatosa and Milwaukee border that I told her we can drive by this weekend to just see the neighborhood.  If anything it has been interesting exploring Milwaukee. Does JD ...

 I think I killed a couple of stray flies but I think the Zevo lady has been retired.  I'd like to spray my neighbor in the eye with the bug spray.  I'll ask the garbage men if they can take him when they do pick up tomorrow.  I am hoping I don't speak too soon by saying the flies are gone.  I was hoping with the temps dropping that it would put an end.  What a mess.   It was a quiet day.  The lurker worked with another group.  Good.  Stay away from me.  I dread the response I'll get about my complaint.  I know it'll be excuses. The lurker never did anything overtly obvious or come out and do things in the open.  It would be correcting me or trying to interrupt me when I'd speak.  The comments made towards me were the kind that made you wonder what was meant by that comment?  You think ignore it.  Then it happens again. I had an incident where account was charged on something they did.  You know, m...

 I don't want to be bothered with flies, monsters or lurkers.  Leave me be.   I'm not sure what the fly status will be.  It seems like once I open the curtains by the kitchen window it'll tell me what the day will bring.  On Monday, it was a swarm.  Yesterday, it was maybe none or maybe three I would have swat at or kill with Zevo.  I had one zooming around me while I worked that I tried swatting at.  I think my mom thought I was doing it to the computer.  There is someone I'd like to hit with a fly swatter if I saw them in person, but no.  I sprayed Zevo by the window near me because it looked like there was one who wanted to get in and it kind of fell over when it got hit by the spray.  Hoping with it not being so hot they may just stick downstairs with the monster.  I showed my mom a picture of PigPen from Peanuts when she asked me what he looked like again.  She said it had the monster's hairline and maybe we shou...

 Well this day sucked.  I seem to have mastered the art of killing flies.  I bought another bottle of Zevo.  It's not as bad as it was yesterday but we get the stragglers.  My landlord asked if we needed an exterminator.  We don't.  I think once the weather cools down they'll go bye bye bye. I wish someone else would.   What a shock.  He knows how to close a door properly and he sure is quiet.  I sprayed the Zevo spray on the side of the house underneath their kitchen window. I hope they choke on the scent.  It's giving me a bit of a headache even thought it's not loaded with chemicals.  I'm sure it's got something.  Disgusting pigs.  Go home to your parents.  I'm not your babysitter.  I think I'm messy but not like this.  I realize too I should have pulled that garbage can down during the week. I didn't realize they were going to put their garbage in it.  I thought they were cleaning out junk...

 I hope they're happy.  Still struggling with the tears. Bad day so far.

 I am hoping my mom gets some sleep.  It was not a great day for either of us.  Last night, we left after I signed off and we drove to see what a rental looked like on the east side.  It was actually a really nice neighborhood.  Busy street and from what my Reddit informants said, the best street to live on in that part of time.  There's a lot of catches though on what you would need to do.  My mom asked about places like Wal-Mart and I said we would have to back track to our old one because I don't think the one in that area is really the best or the safest.  I think she realized maybe that wasn't the best idea since we wouldn't have access to a lot of places.  It was nice to take a drive again. I am hoping that the fly situation dies down. I can't believe that creep downstairs.  When we left, I didn't think he was home and the F bombs flew. He was home and you know what?  I don't care.  I'm angry and tired of living with this...

 I had to buy some fly spray to get rid of the infestation.  I am pissed off that pig downstairs.  My poor mom was in tears by the time we got out of here and went for a drive to check out a rental. Landlord offered to exterminate if we couldn't get rid of him.  How about get rid of the monster and maybe we'll all be happier?

 Someone hijacked my computer this morning.  My mom was up early and showing me a place on the east side that looked promising. I don't think she was satisfied that I said we can drive by next weekend.  I think she would have liked to have set up a showing.  I'm anxious too and we have been on a hundred and one of these sightings where the place looks like garbage.  Patience, ma.  We'll do a drive by and a looksey. I get it.  Last night, we had a swarm of flies in the kitchen.  I think our window was creaked open and there's a small hole in the screen.  It was like the starting of a horror movie.  In August, we get the random stray fruit fly or baby spiders, but not this.   Well guess who still has a garbage sitting outside that would be in direct line of our window?  It has been sitting out there a week.  My mom asked if I would text the landlord and I did.  Normally he does things and may not tell us.  I h...

 I did my hill before the heat kicked in this morning.  I think I was too late.  Oh my god, did I sweat.  I was going to do more walking but I found my car and the air conditioning.  I know it's going to be hotter than this.  I finished getting my goal steps walking around Whole Foods and Target.  I definitely got my activity points today.  And used a lot of the deodorant that was in my car.  I probably should have brought it inside with me.  Oh well, the car will smell nice, I guess. I passed a couple walking in front of me.  Kind of looked twentyish maybe?  I'm not sure because all I could see from the back was the girl's butt cheeks.  Good grief, I'm going to sound like an old lady but a skirt doesn't need to be that short.  I didn't want to see the front. I figured I'd go around them.   My mom got pissed off at my Aunt Jules after she bought my sister and I halter tops when we were kids.  We never w...

 My mom seems to be doing better and that's a good thing.  Glad she's sleeping. Her sleep can be erratic.  Sometimes she's up before me but she'll sleep during the day.  Right now, she's sleeping.  She has fibromyalgia and many people think that's a made up disease.  Is being an a-hole a made up a disease because I think some people need a prescription.   We had a goofy managing attorney who made all of us legal assistants sit through audits with attorneys. I got pulled into one for an attorney I wasn't assigned to and we went over a list of his files and he explained them to the loony tunes manager and I would maybe have to add or change numbers on the file on the worth.  On the last file, the attorney mentioned that the plaintiff had fibromyalgia and the looney tunes manager asked if she was fat and had cats.  The attorney laughed.  When I mentioned to someone else that it was offensive, the person told me, well, they don't know t...

We haven't had an outlet in our bathroom for months.  Our landlord knew about it and well, we made due.  We have a light in the bathroom and we have a small lamp in there to help us when we use the bathroom in the middle of the night. I normally don't fully blow dry my hair. I will partially dry it at least the back when I wash it.  I just let it air dry most of the time since the outlet went out. I will go to my room and use the hair dryer but for the most part, I just let it air dry.  I just deal. I try to look at things positively but some things are just so frustrating.  I remind myself I'm sleeping in a bed and not without a box spring.   I'm also thankful that the box spring I have is not the one that the monster put out by the garbage either. He's so gross.  So thankful for my nice neighbor across the alley who's been well, a good neighbor.  What a strange concept.   Good humans.  Hard to find.  And so are outlets....

 Not a shock that we didn't find any rentals in our price range.  It was to be expected.  Today was more of a curiosity drive to see if there were signs and there were some but none for us. We had wondered if the guy who had the 4 family buildings was legitimate.  We never heard from him and he has this sign in front of both properties that says Got Cash 4 Homes.  What does that mean?   My mom had found some rentals in our range in Riverwest.  It seems ok, looks like our vibe but the crime is not our vibe. I found a whole Reddit thread about Riverwest being bad for crime.  That really sucks because some of the streets looked alright. My mom had come to Milwaukee back in the 1960s from a small northern town in upper Wisconsin and lived on the east side.  Her and my first dad, the one who didn't really like us kids considered getting a house in Shorewood back in the day but that didn't happen.  I said we can drive for amusement. ...

 I'll be ecstatic and over the moon if we are fortunate enough to find a place in the future, like in the next few months or in this next year.  I won't be thrilled to move though.   We almost didn't move in and thank god landlords are jerks.  My mom had a change of heart after we signed the lease and said we can't do it.  We're not going to have enough space.  When she talked to the landlord at the time, he said ok, we'll just have to pay the rent until he finds someone else.  Awesome.  I know.  We signed a lease.  What did we expect?  He was better than what we had dealt with in the past and that's not saying a lot. It was empty when we moved in and we were able to get the keys around mid-August so we were taking boxes every night.  How great is that?  We were going to be organized and it was going to be easy.  Like hell we would. For starters, the first sign of trouble is when I called the movers and set up a ...

 I finally found a website for that ass clown Jay Weber who made fun of Gus Walz a few days ago.  I knew people were flooding the phone number with complaints and I could have done it, I guess. I sometimes freeze up when I make a phone call and start sputtering words.  I found the website for the moron's stupid radio show and said his show should go.  It's one thing if this clown wants to make fun of Tim Walz or Kamala, but this kid didn't ask to be in the spotlight and he doesn't need one more bully.  I ended it with Do better.  Short and sweet, but I wanted to say something.  My gawd, what is wrong with people? Almost a year ago, I actually left a voice mail for Matt Gaetz for trying to hold up a budget plan that was going to force the government to shut down.  That voice mail was just me sputtering that you're a bad person. You're not an American.  You don't care about the people.  Just me rambling. I told Corinne what I did and I sai...

So I am maybe even more cautious crossing the street after getting hit by a semi.  People don't pay attention on the main street near my house and after living in the neighborhood for 15 years, I proceed with caution.  I have had two close calls in the last year with a car coming towards me.   Tonight, I had a driver pull up to me and yell at me that they were going to let me walk.  Oh.  My.  God.  If I wasn't bothering you?  Why are you bothering me? I walked back from the grocery store and I decided to cross the street at the one four way stop near my house.  When the light turned green and indicated that I could walk, I took a few steps forward and I saw some big old time square truck like vehicle turning and I didn't think they were going to stop so I stepped back on the curb. Well I got a surprise.  The young girl rolled down the window and let me know that she was going to let me walk!  I didn't need to do that!  I'm...

 I feel like I've been in a fog of happiness the last few days.  Well that's gone. My mom's hip is hurting her.  It has been the last few days. I helped her bring up some laundry from downstairs. We have 26 steps that are winding from the basement to our apartment. I hate those damn steps.  I will leave a 24 pack of water in the trunk of my car for a couple of days because I dread carrying it up those stupid stairs.  It has been a pain. I get pain in my own hip when it's humid out.  My bones weakened a bit from the cancer drugs that I took for 3 1/2 years.  I'm even robbing peter to pay paul with my health.  Don't want cancer?  Take this drug but prepare for a little bone weakness.  Cool.  Try to think of the positive.  I'm alive. I heard that a lot and I wanted to say that's not going so well.  It's such a mixed bag sometimes on this subject. I forgot to take my anti depressant the last couple of nights.  Why you ask...

 I knew there would be one couch joke during the convention.  I didn't expect it to come from Elizabeth Warren.  I freaking love her.  I loved them all for their sick burns on Trump and their cruelty. I agree with Michelle Obama on taking the high road but I think of how they almost had an intruder come for them because Trump gave out their address was a reason to do a few sick burns at the convention. It's time for the gloves to come out. Unless you're JD Vance at Ashley Furniture. I got to catch up on my Stephen Colbert this weekend.  I will say that some good people find their way to each other, like Stephen and his lovely wife Evy.  I look forward to Gwen Walz being the Second Lady.   Where's my Stephen Colbert damn it?  Where's he hiding? Ugh.  Punchy from not going to bed at a proper hour and then having a cat order me around for cream cheese. Thanks for the shout out from Oprah for all of us childless cat ladies.  We apprecia...

 Of course I was crying listening to Kamala Harris accept the nomination.  Gus Walz has nothing on me in the emotion department. It meant a lot to hear a woman accept the nomination.  I felt the same way when it was Hillary.  I really believe that this will be a reality come November.  You know what I want for my birthday?  This.  I want Kamala Harris as my President and Tim Walz as my Vice President for my birthday.  That's it.  I also want Gus Walz to be my internet nephew but I think millions of others want the same.  That's it.  That's all that I want. Do I think my life will magically change if a woman runs the country?  No.  I hope I feel a little bit better about life.  I really do.  I thought a lot last night about the men who have stepped on me in jobs.  The men who belittled me in relationships.  The men who just made me feel afraid.   I am not a man hater by any means.  I reall...

 I was having kind of a good progress kind of day. I was getting answers.  Things were working out and then all of a sudden, I couldn't type anything. I couldn't do anything and I called the help desk.   We have had some changes the last few years and some things have been outsourced to an area where it's not always easy to understand the person that's helping you which adds to the anxiety even more.  I kept having to say I'm so sorry, I didn't hear that.  I felt bad because that individual was being helpful.  My heart sank when he took my shipping address. I thought NO.  I am not getting another laptop.  Please don't let that happen.  This has to be an easy fix.  I thought maybe I had hit a key on accident but because this is a really nice and super fancy laptop, I had no idea where to go.  The keys I would look at were not there.  The person who helped me was able to get me to sign back in with a keyboard online. I thoug...

 Well I adore Gus Walz, Tim Walz's son.  I kind of drifted in and out early in the speech as I fought the sleep monsters, but I did see Gus Walz's reaction to his dad and his love.  I love that his parents see that his challenges are superpowers.  I thought Ted Lasso was a TV character but I think we are seeing Ted Lasso with a family and I'm here for it.  We need more of it.  I re-watched it this morning and caught what I missed.  Yeah.  That made me cry.  Had to watch Bill Clinton again.  He is the explainer of things, except Hannibal Lecter.   I love how the Walz's framed their son's disability as something that is positive.  I have mentioned my nephew and his challenges and there was a lot we didn't understand when he was a little boy.  He got his diagnosis.  He had a hard time with how bad kids treated him.  I remember taking him and my niece to a couple of playgrounds to burn off their energy.  We...

 I did watch Barack Obama's speech.  Master class in shading Donald Trump.  That was awesome.  Make it nice with Joe, Barack.  And quit hanging with George Clooney, good gawd.  What a dynamic duo Barack and Michelle were last night.   I just sat down to start watching and I have a new person to follow on Instagram - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.  She's a little firecracker telling off the Supreme Court.   Today, I saw signs of the lurker popping up in my work.  I am so sick of that individual.  I have to remind myself that they are pathetic.  I don't step on people to get ahead.  If I get ahead?  It's from hard work.  It's not from constantly pointing out all the things that people make a mistake on.  What a pain in the ass this person is.  It doesn't seem to bother me today like it normally does. I got to see Tim Walz tonight.  I came close to making it last night damn it. ...

 I saw the opening of Barack's speech and the sleep monsters got me.  Damn it.  I saw a video of Barack making hand gestures about Trump's crowd size that was a bit salacious.  I love it.  I'll be watching it sometime today. I actually re-watched the roll call because I am that dorky and missed part of it. I normally take a bath and clean up for bed and decided to do it early.  I got to see the part where Governor Evers spoke and Rachel Maddow interrupted.  DAMN IT RACHEL!  It's Tony Evers!  Augh!  I was excited to see Spike Lee when they called New York this morning.  It's just fun to see the people that came from these states and represent America.  It's all dumb white men like JD Vance or orange men like you know that guy. I did get to see Doug Emhoff's speech.  I know there was a story that Doug had a bad moment in his life. There's some people who are cheaters and there's some people who made a mistake and made sure t...

 I'm so jealous of anyone that gets to see Kamala and Coach Tim tonight at the Fiserv Forum tonight.  Some people get excited about the latest musical act in town, I want to see those two.  I hope it's a full house tonight which from what they were showing, it will be.   What would bring me joy?  Going to see them.   I stood in line for hours in line waiting to hear Barack Obama speak on my birthday in downtown Milwaukee with my mom.  It was fantastic but oh, were my legs tired from standing.  It meant a lot to my mom to hear him speak.  I didn't have a camera phone to take pictures. I would have loved that.   My landlord showed up to mow the lawn and look at the garage door.  It seems to be working now.  He wondered if it was an electrical thing.  He appears to be frustrated with the monster.  Not sure if that will amount to anything. I mocked the monster when the landlord asked why he has to have a ga...

 I crashed before Reverend Raphael Warnock's speech.  The power of DVR saved me. I watched it this morning right up to the point where I had to sign in.  It was fantastic.   Hillary was great.  My mom was crying.  It meant a lot to her to have Hillary win that election and she was crushed. I was crushed.  She always fan girls over Hillary.  It was hard for me to decide in 2008 do I go with Barack or Hillary?  She gave a phenomenal speech. I had to watch Joe this morning.  No, I didn't cry like I usually did.  I got a little teary eyed when his daughter finished her speech and introduced him.  That nice man made sure his little boys had a dad that came home every night after they lost their mom and baby sister.  He took his oath of office by their bedsides.  He got a second chance with Jill and having a daughter.  He's such a good human.  Yeah, he looks 81.  He lit that stage on fire with a torch....

 Watching Tim Walk with his lovely wife puts me in a good mood.  And seeing him hang with Doug!  Love that Doug!   Watching the convention and being the nerd that I am, I am DVRing it on Sling in case I missed something.  Yeah.  What a dork.   I did get a response about the garage door and I'll get the great Fava here tomorrow.  I better not get blamed for it. I don't know what happened.  I almost had that box spring fall on the car.  Fall on me.  I'm so f()(_)(*&(*&(*&*& tired of that monster.  It's just like send me a text.  He sits on the porch most evenings while the dogs bark loudly.  You could stand three blocks away and you can hear them.   Not a horrible day. Got to sleep late.  Got to write my postcards.  Ooooohhhh, someone is talking about Project 2025.  That's right.  Keep talking about it people.  Verbally punch them in the throat.  I love t...

 I went out to get some fresh air or humid air and take care of some errands this morning since I was off and I see that there is a garbage can outside the door.  Seems fitting.  The monster has done it before.  It wasn't until I saw the disgusting box spring leaning up against the garage door that I thought great.  Someone is spring cleaning.  Idiot. It wasn't until I got home that I had the problem.  I couldn't get the garage door open with the remote so I pulled over and parked.  I tried it with the key and it wouldn't budge. I tried moving the disgusting box spring and it almost fell on the car.  I got it positioned back and parked on the street. I sent a text to my landlord with pictures of the garbage can and the box spring and a formal message that I can't get my car into the garage. No response. I got a few nights free to park on the street and then I'm on my own.  Great.  I love the sound of crickets.

 Glad I am not working today.  I normally take off on Fridays because it's a quieter day.  I'll deal with the wrath of my emails tomorrow.   Someone got brushed and they're a happy girl.  And they got cream cheese at 5:00 this morning even though I went back to bed.  As long as she's happy. Hoping my mom gets out of her funk with the landlord.  I swear I'll choke him with a pair of leggings if he comes by with a hard luck story.  I got one too. I rent from him and have to listen to his hard luck stories. There was a character on the Muppets when they were on Saturday Night Live the first season and my mom referenced this character who knows everything.  She said that's our landlord - the great Fava.  I watched the episodes where they went to see this statute that knows everything and thought Ok. I get it.  It's actually the Great Favog.  That's our landlord.  He knows everything.  He probably tells his doctor abo...

 Yeah.  I'm excited for the convention. Safe to say I haven't had a lot to be excited about these days so this political nerd is totally jazzed for it. I got CNN on.  Someday I may watch Netflix. Someday. I love Joe Biden and god bless him, it was such an uphill battle this last year with the news.  I hated that he became such a punching bag.  He's a good person and a good father.  I never want him to go away.  I hope we see him campaigning for Kamala.  I love seeing him give zero F's now that he's out of the race and speaking his mind.  I like the subtle changes Kamala has made with what her campaign is about.  Hope and freedom.  Joy.  Protecting our rights.  Joe was right that this was the battle for the soul of America.  It still is.  There's something so kind of liberating and freeing with the words that she's using in her campaign speeches. Holy cow I love me some Tim Walz!  What a breath of fresh air....

 It has exhausted me this year.  Inflation and greed.  It is killing me about the effect it's having on my mom.  She is so worried about a possible rent raise and us getting humiliated again. I'll see everything to get away from this landlord.  I really can't stand how selfish he's become. He had a conversation with me that he was raising the rent when it happened. I was shocked so all I could say was Ok and he would mail something.  Then he shows up when we have company.  He mowed the lawn but he had to add on when we had company.  He couldn't just put a stamp on the letter and let it go.  He had to talk about how hard he's had it.  My mom has said he ruined our Christmas last year.  I think it's because we thought they were nice kids when they moved in.  We thought oh, they seemed nice and we did worry when they bought the place.  We never dreamed that they would be so coldhearted with us and greedy. We know how landlord...

 I took the freeway where I got hit.  I'm still not sure where I got hit, but I got on the freeway where I knew that semi slapped my car 2 months ago. I felt ok.  Nervous.  I thought today feels like a day I should do it.  Will I feel that courage on a different day?  Maybe not.  One step at a time.  My dentist said someone was looking over me for being ok after getting hit.  I wish they would have worked on my emotional being too while they were looking after me. It was the first time I went to the pet store where I get Precious healthier food.  Yes, I get treats.  Judge me. I got it coming.  It's been about 2 months. I didn't splurge like I did but I got a couple of bags of treats and a few cans of the ProPlan food that a very nice kid recommended.  I didn't forget that kid.  That was nice of him to help me.  I offered to return a shirt my mom got from Kohls and took it to their Bayshore location. Two little gi...
