2/24/19 -- It is so freaking windy, right now. The weather service informed us that the wind was supposed to pick up. So, it definitely has been blowing like crazy. One of my neighbors, is very obsessed about her bird-feeders. Every time it's gonna be stormy and/or windy she has her hubby take the feeders down. She is so concerned about them falling or being blown off the nails or hooks. She brags about the fact that it's $50 worth of feeders, it's so irritating that she does that. You don't have to spend lots of money or buy expensive bird feeders, to get the birds to come to your feeders.
Something else that irritates me about her; is fact that every time she talking about people in the building that annoy her or us, she brings up that she and her hubby are the only ones that pay close to full rent. I finally called her out on that and told her that she needs to stop! She does it even to people that don't need to know anything like that. I told her that it really isn't important to anyone that she tells. Also, she doesn't know the situation behind everyone who doesn't pay full rent. So, she needs to stop. I just finally had enough and called her out on it. I don't know if she realized what she has been doing that. Now, hopefully she will be more careful when she is upset and talking about certain people who annoy us to no end. Whenever she said it, it was almost as if she was either bragging or complaining.
She gets annoyed because there are people in this building that take advantage of the system by not being honest with their income and such.

Counselor
2/21/19 -- I am feeling just a little bit upset because I recently found out that my current counselor is leaving the clinic that I go to. She was offered a job at the clinic/hospital that is way closer to where she lives. Due to the snow and ice that we received over the last month or so she decided it was better for her to take that position because if safety.
Needless to say, I am not very happy with this prospect because now I won't have a counselor, to talk to when I need to. I am hoping that I have an opportunity to see her before she leaves because she wants to talk to me about who would be the best fit for me. I am at a place now that I don't necessarily need to see a counselor, nowhere near as much as I did when I first started. Yet, I do need one, every once in a while, to help sort stuff out, even if I just communicate via my chart.
I haven't been to church in quite awhile because if the weather and getting used to sleeping in a different bed, due to dog sitting. I am pretty sure I am still adjusting to this bed because it is quite different than the one that is on my own bed.

Winter Won't Let Go......
2/20/19 -- So, I spent the night at the house that I am dog sitting at, even tho the daughter was still here. She was due to leave around 2am, to get on a bus that would take her to the airport, where she would head on to meet up with her parents and sister.
The weather was supposed to be iffy, this morning, so I decided that it would be better if I was already at the house when she leaves. Also, given the routine that I have it would have been a really long time before Molly (the dog) would be let out and fed, so it just made all around sense, for me to just be here.
I did hear the daughter leave, early this morning. I was hoping that they would beat out the weather, before it came in, but it had started snowing at that time. I did request for her to let me know that she got to meet her parents ok, cause I was just a bit concerned, the weather the way that it was supposed to me, even in the big city where she was to get to the airport.
This weekend is supposed to snow again, yes again, then we are supposed to get more snow, next Tuesday. Grrrr, I have about had enough with the snow. This is February, we should be coming out of the snow; not still in the snow - oh well, what are we to do?? We live in the mid west and the winters have been weird, over the last couple of years.
Also, I am really hoping that I can see my boyfriend, again this coming Friday. However, I am not holding my breath.

Oh Brother
2/17/19 -- Again with the snow, lol. I left my back window open in my car, last night. I had it down as I was driving out to dog sit and subsequently forgot to roll it back up. I noticed it this morning when I looked out the window to see just how much snow there really was.
I spent the night at the house with the dog. Makes better sense to do that, then to go back and for early and late. I do still come home to my cats about 10am, then go back out between 3 and 4pm, on the weekends. Of course, during the week, when I have to babysit, from 3-5pm then I go to the dog after babysitting. The daughter of the couple that belong to the dog, spent all of last week there, but then finally decided to leave and get a break. She leaves for Gulf Shores, Alabama on Wednesday to be with her parents and get a much needed break from the jewelry making and other things that she has been doing to sell at shows and such. She is going to be gone a week or so.
The other interesting thing that I actually missed was the craziness that a mom and daughter, cause pretty much every night. These two girls, and I say girls because the mom is behaving just like her daughter. This mom just lets her daughter run all over her. I just don't understand how those two can have so much to argue about. That mom just flat out needs to take charge and tell her 16 yr. old daughter that this is the way it is, and that's it! However, she doesn't know how to establish authority with her, which is just ridiculous because the apt building pays for their rudeness, and inconsiderateness.

Me
2/16/19 -- So, this is the middle of February, already????
Why does it seem like time is just flying by?
Yesterday, I had an encounter that I haven't had in, something like 20+ years. There is this man, that I met on eHarmony 3 years ago. He came to visit me and what happened next came so naturally and it was wonderful. There is one issue that I have and that is: my belief is such that I shouldn't have sex before marriage, and yet, that is exactly what I just did. I gotta admit that I don't even know how I feel about it. That in and of itself bothers me.
I have had a rough several years; so I don't know if that is why I seem to feel numb right now. Truthfully, I should feel guilty as all get out, but at this moment in time, I don't.
I also gotta admit that, it felt great to feel wanted by this man. He actually took some available time, that he had, and stopped by my place, before going to his next meeting. He didn't have to take that time, but he wanted to and did. I just couldn't believe it, that he was actually in my place, after close to 3 years.

Winter
2/12/19 -- Another round of snow, yipeee!!!
Nothing like being snowed in, or plowed in or not able to do my job because I can get out of my parking space at 6am in the morning, to go to work. With all the snow, the plows had it piled high enough next to my car and my neighbor's car that we weren't going anywhere without a shovel. We had to move our cars cause they needed to be on the other side of the street. A different neighbor, who lives in the back of our building, decided to park her vehicle in the front, instead of the back, and is extremely slow in moving her vehicle, if she moves it at all. So, now she is very much plowed in. The plows made like 3 passes and now the snow is about half way up her car door. She is going to end up with quite an expensive ticket, and/or possibly her car towed cause she left it parked somewhere where she knew she would have to move it. This woman is someone who gets on all our nerves. And it's still snowing.
I was supposed to start dog sitting over the weekend, however, the daughter spent the weekend due to a show, then she forgot her charger where she had the show, on Saturday.
The she spent a good chunk of the yesterday running errands that weren't in the plan, so she spent another night (her work bench is in her parents, shed)so then she didn't get as much work done, she decided to spend another night, with the plan to leave today around 4 or 5pm. I texted her today to see how she was doing. Well, she is kinda snowed in, at least at that point of the day, one of her uncles is supposed to plow out the driveway whenever they get off work. One of them works at night, one works during the day, so whenever. She also said that she wasn't sure about her ride to get back to New Glarus. So, she decided to stay another night, but she said she really has to get back to New Glarus tomorrow. So, I should be dog sitting tomorrow, for sure. This family lives about 7 minutes west of monroe, which isn't very far from me. I spend the night to make sure the dog has what she needs then I come home around mid-morning to spend sometime with my cats, then go babysit, then head back to the dog.
Oh well, such is a winter in the upper mid-west.

Life Sucks
1/10/19 -- Well, today is my little sister's birthday, should would have been 42 today. 😢 My younger sister texted me last night wondering if I was going to spend time with mom, today due to the 2nd birthday since our little sister passed away. Honestly, I was trying to ignore the fact that today was her birthday, had been doing a decent job, til she texted me. She said that she was thinking about it, and she got me thinking about it, but more like struggling to figure out what to do: because I was already struggling, myself.
Then this morning, I get a text from my mom, telling me that my little niece was admitted to the hospital due to possible appendicitis, so mom was telling me to pray for my niece and sister. Of course, I am going to do that.
I then, asked mom how she was doing. She told me that she was sad, given what today represents. I then asked mom if I could admit something to her. When she told me that I could; I told her that this is the first time that I really didn't want to go down to her, that I am struggling too and confused. Mom, completely understood and is ok with me staying home.
I also start dog sitting later this afternoon. Technically was already supposed to have started but the daughter of the couple has been there and will be leaving later this afternoon. She makes her own jewelry and had a couple shows, yesterday and she doesn't drive (due to past bad choices she made and the trouble she had gotten into because of those bad choices.) so she doesn't want to have people drive her back and forth from where she lives to her parents house any more than she has too. So, she was trying to get as much work done as she could, while she was at her parents, her work bench is in her parents shed. I have to spend the night at these people's house but I can come home and spend some time with my cats and do the babysitting that I have to do everyday from 3-5pm. I will be doing this dog sitting job, for a whole month. I have already gotten paid and to be honest, it wasn't too bad. I kinda let the people decide how much to pay me because I haven't a clue what to charge for dog sitting and I usually get paid pretty good. It's pretty helpful, in the bill paying dept.

BBRRRRRR cont...
1/3/19 -- I wasn't able to get into my car because there was a part of the lock mechanism that was froze, so I could only partially open the door. Just enough to get my fingers in to try pulling but to no avail. So, this in the afternoon, when I went to get in, the door opened like nothing had been wrong. Then, of course, I couldn't start the car. It just flat out doesn't like that deep, dangerous cold, any more that I do. My neighbor was able to jump my car with his, so that we both could move our vehicles to the other side of the street. Thursday was another day of my car not starting, due to the dangerous cold. Another day of getting it jumped so I could go to the chiropractor. I also decided to fill up the gas tank. When i went to the chiro, I just let the car run, while I was inside, knowing that I wouldn't be in there for too long. Now, on Friday, I waited til about 2pm to go out to start the car, just to be sure that it would start because I had to babysit. Naturally, with it being warmer, it started without any issues.
I am so glad that this deep freeze snap, is over with. I totally and completely despise all extremes in temperature. I don't like extreme cold of extreme heat and humidity. Unfortunately, there isn't any place on this planet, where I could live an not have extremes in something. I grew up in the midwest, so you would think that i would be used to it. Well, I may be used to it, but I don't enjoy it, at all.
Today, I was planning on going to church, however, since I have seen how foggy it is, outside, not a chance. If I had to babysit, 10 minutes away, I would but to drive 40 minutes away, don't think so. 40 minutes is too long to worry about other drivers and whether they are going to be stupid or not.
