The Invisible Woman Chronicles

 That was a no on the apartment building I found this morning.  Actually I didn't find it until noon. I don't know what was wrong with me this morning. I must have twisted brain when it comes to numbers.   Initially I parked at the Shorewood library thinking it was a block or two away.  It was!  I put the wrong address into my phone and I thought 8 minutes away by car?  I thought this is a hard no with all the one way streets and in the heart of college hell.  I was basically driving around in circles like a dope. I pulled over and searched my phone. I had the 4 and the 2 twisted.  Big difference in neighborhoods and I found it.  Not a bad building.  Not a good choice for us and especially with $75 for parking.  Nice neighborhood but the building wasn't that great. Onward and downwards it feels. My mom feels like our landlord made us homeless.  She looked like she was going to cry a few times tonight and I tried to distrac...

 I found the catch last night about the apartments my mom found.  $75 for parking.  Damn.  They actually looked nice.  I will go see what they look like this morning. I'm guessing it's monthly, not an extra charge.  I liked the ad that the person put up.  It included heat as well.  Not sure if that's a good thing for bad.  We talked about selling our appliances and having extra money.  We would have taken our stuff to a laundromat.  We know how the whole shared laundry situation works out. This really sucks.  We were given less time than the monster to find something and we were more blind sided than he was because we didn't do anything wrong! Oh yeah, I apparently let my cat vomit black sludge and I throw kitty litter down the bath tub.  I'm dealing with a petulant child who's unhappy being a grown up and he takes his hatred out on us. For a moment, I was thinking he was an ok guy.    WRONG!  In compar...

 Years ago, when I signed up for Facebook, I signed in and saw that someone posted that her husband peed in the kitchen sink.  They had a literal fight on Facebook about what he did.  Kind of popcorn reading but also cringey for the couple. It wasn't too long where I told my sister what Harold had done to me.  Dumped me after my surgery.  She would mention my California friend and I didn't want to admit what happened.  No, I didn't think she would judge me.  It wasn't her.  It was so many others who said my relationship wouldn't work and they were right.   I think it's best to keep things to yourself.  I finally told Corinne about how I got left at an airport almost 19 years ago by Harold.  If I came back from that trip and told anyone? I would have never heard the end of it.  I knew it was going to end as it was and I didn't need people to rub salt in my wounds. So yeah, if there someone that came into my life without jew...

Guess I'll be hanging in Lois' neighborhood.  We felt a little more optimistic until we contacted a property management company that seemed suspect. Is everyone a criminal?  Sigh. We're to the point where apartment living might be our only option.  There's some apartment building near the old nail salon I used to go about five years ago.  There's got to be a catch but my mom wants to clean more before the Great Fava shows up with his photography crew and I guess I'm kicked out for part of the day. Oh well.  Hopefully I don't lower the property values.  It'll be another exercise in futility. I didn't think I would be rolling in dough at my age but damn.  This is hard.  Even harder at my age.  

We drove around this afternoon and we did feel a little bit better after we drove around Wauwatosa.  We figured if we saw the monster's car, we'd run.  At this point, as long we don't have to live in the same building we don't care. I think my mom felt better after driving around.  We got to see some nice homes we could never afford but you know, it's nice to dream.  She was up since 5 and I could see she was looking for places.  I feel so bad he's doing this to us.  Making us worry.   A month ago, we thought he was going to build a locker.  We thought he was going to put in more lights.  We thought things were going to get better.  Now we feel like intruders and we feel kind of afraid of him.  Is he secretly related to the monster?   No, they're both former football players.  Bullies and jerks.  Unless you're a Kelce brother, I don't really care for the former football or current players.  Bullies....

It appears that I'll be doing my own eyebrows maintenance and I'm ok with that.  I'm actually kind of relieved. It's not the about the cost of an eyebrow wax.  Or the availability.  It's something that I started using last night. I'm not sure if it's retinol or retin-A,  I remember what I usually get asked before waxing.  I know they have special precautions they take but I'm not a lucky person.  I see my eyebrows going up in flames.   I looked up eyebrow threading and I know there can be issues with that but kind of wish I would have thought that a long time ago.  If I am feeling the need to get them cleaned up, maybe I'll consider it.  I don't know.   I looked on Amazon and found a kit where I can take care of them.  God bless Amazon.  For the price, I think I can do it.  I don't have to tip myself either.  I care more about clearing up the skin issue.  I can live with fuzzy eyebrows. I can keep them ...

It's a salacious title, I know.  I feel like an old slut for the thoughts that I have about a crush. Being from the Tim Walz school of Mind Your Damn Business, the identity will be protected.  Mostly because I don't someone to wrote a note in class and tattle on me. I'll call him Jerry.  I met Jerry because I needed something.  Dry cleaning.  I'm going with dry cleaning.  Remember what Tim Walz said?  I want to express my appreciation about Jerry but this just sounds so bad. I needed some help and when I laid eyes on him for the first time, I think my jaw dropped.  Maybe in my head.  I found myself staring because I think I saw cartoon blue birds.  Kindest eyes and just a nice gentle disposition. Guess what folks?  Jerry wears some jewelry that tells me to get my mind out of the gutter. You know, Jerry has a good way about him that makes you feel like you're dealing with someone trustworthy and decent. Good humans are a hard thing t...
