Seven Days and We Shall See

Or maybe eight days and we might know if it's going to be a standoff or a move out.  We all know what I'm wishing for and I'm not going to hound my landlord for any answers because I don't think he has any.  We shall see.

I guess I got to make a phone call this morning.  I feel like I get my momentum and then bam!  A new snag.  That is life, I guess.  I kept apologizing to my mom that I should have paid her Senior care earlier in the month but she's fine.  I'm not. I hate when things like that happens.

I only have one more doctor to make an appointment for this year.  I do not like phone calls but it'll be my last or hopefully my last for the year.  I don't have to see this one until maybe summer so next week would be a good time.  Oh yeah.  The blood work too.  That'll be a fun one.  Not.  Easy enough. I can get it the week before my appointment on April 1st.  I don't think I'll get a gold star for that one.  

I took a walk last night to the store. I got the diva cat some different treats and I was able to do some Shopkick.  It feels good to get out of the house after work and have sunlight.  It has felt awkward to go out and walk past the monster's door.  I kind of felt like I've been hidden in this apartment since he's moved in.  I joked about being the prisoner of 76th Street when we lived in our four family for a year and we had the creepy rapist live upstairs.  Well new street.  Same problem.  It'll be a relief when he leaves.  I am hoping his girlfriend convinces him it's in their best interest to move on.  Maybe her parents have a nice basement for him.  Seems appropriate.

My mom felt good telling off a Trump supporter.  She said she really didn't but she felt good about speaking up.  She didn't want to argue with him, but she was being harassed and told the guy to quit talking and leave her alone.  It's ok to have differences but don't harass someone who may not feel the same way.  It's not ok.  She told him we have family members who voted for him and we love them.  She doesn't hate Republicans, she loves the Bush family.  Well I don't but I'm not mad at them either.  She wasn't being unreasonable.  She just didn't want to listen to crazy.  He was at a food pantry.  How is he doing so great?  He thinks we're getting big checks next year.  Ok.  Sure.  Idiot.

Well the lurker and their friend are gone today but I am hoping it's not so frustrating today.  I haven't had much of a break lately with being caught up.  I'm used to being behind but this has been too much. I received notice of how much my bonus will be next week.  I figured out how much after taxes and it's pretty good.  If the monster downstairs doesn't move, there will be money to make the move.  It's always going to be bad with money. I told my mom that. I said I worried more about my credit rating but it's been a lot higher than it has been in years and it'll get better.  This is not our forever home.  We do need to find something easier but if the monster is gone, at least for the moment, it's ok.  If we came across something in the spring or summer, we would consider it.

Life is messy.  I just don't want it to be messy today.  I am looking forward to getting out in the morning and getting my stamps for my postcards now that there's some money in my account and just getting some fresh air.

I hope the good humans have a good day.
