I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I can't leave for the day without something happening. We are planning a vacation for 10 days and daughter is coming home as she is starting a new job the week we are away so that will be tricky and I have no other help as darling sister planned her vacation the same week....
Just tired, He is starting to repeat things so I am getting cconcerned. Have a neuro doc appt tomorrow with him will ask lots of questions. Tired and burnt out and can't do anything outside of the house. Wife's vacation this week and we are stuck at the house.
I'm trying to appreciate that it could be much worse. Since the cameras went up, there's been far less chaotic behavior from the roomie.
I received emails that both online filings were rejected due to errors and omissions. It's good to know what I need to include and can try again. I'm also not sure I'd get it right even if I kept trying. Considering whether it's time to call for legal help again. Or, at least get input from a legal aid service that can assist in filing.
As long as there isn't another crisis from the roomie, I can keep plodding along for a bit and try to sort things out on my end. And if there is a crisis, then I can document it and maybe even get police intervention. So... it's a bad situation but I don't feel like there is immediate threat. That's some relief from how I was feeling a couple weeks ago.
I think I've done what I can for now. Best thing I can do is put it aside and focus on school and work and trust that somehow this bad situation will be resolved.
I filed for an order of protection today against my roommate who is not abiding by her 30 day Notice to Quit. Tomorrow, I'll see if I can efile a case in housing court, too. The eviction moratoriums for covid don't apply to my situation so I can at least try that route. Big PITA but I'm doing what I can to remedy the situation. It could be days, weeks, or months before there's a resolution and I will just have to carry on in the meantime.
My friend said I should call police or animal welfare about my roommate N feeding the cats table food that made them sick. N had been told they were on special diets. But the cats seem ok so I don't know what good it would do to make a fuss about it, except as evidence of her endangering the pets here. I included it in the OOP I filed today.
Just need to energy and grace to see this through, one way or another, and get N out.
I give presentations on allergenic plants, and once I had a group that wanted to meet in a botanical garden. A guide from that garden sort of "butted in" and was determined to show us all the pretty flowers, and didn't give me much of a chance to tell her we were interested in studying "ugly" flowers without my having to get downright rude. [Will this qualify as my "whine" moment?} Finally, she left so we could get on with what I had planned to do. We're usually more interested in the weeds than what is planted, except for many of the common trees and some of the grasses.
Do what Luckylu would do, and offer salmon to your cat.
We gave a wandering cat (so very thin) some salmon, then some cat food with salmon. She kept coming over to eat, often twice a day for several months.
Turns out, it belonged to a neighbor.
Salmon won't cure cancer, but it can be a comfort to the cat, and help anemia.
need - you would know if you were allergic to chocolate! Allergies are draining I find.
Pam - snow mold is a fungus that grows on lawns when the snow melts. Winds will dry it up and rain wash it away. There is a pink kind and a grey kind. It lasts from a week to a month. I am fortunate in that I am not allergic to any garden flowers that I have met so far. I love lilacs too.
Don’t laugh but I told them not to tell me if I was allergic to chocolate! Hahaha 🤣
I have a couple of food allergies but it’s mainly other allergies. Yes, the usual stuff, dust, mold, pollen, animals, insect bites, etc.
I take Claritin, Flonase and my inhaler for my asthma.
I love my hot tea when I feel really bad. Also a hot steamy shower!
They are year round allergies. I hate it too. It zaps my energy.
I think your'e doing the right thing though just taking it day by day,seeing how he does.
When I was first married and hubby was with me 24/7, he looked at me one day and said, “Honey, you aren’t normal!”
Needless to say, he could have expressed himself with more tact! 😆 LOL
I wasn’t happy with him for saying that comment and asked him exactly what he meant!
He said, “ Well, I have never heard anyone sneeze so many times in my life and I am considering buying stock in Kleenex.”
Then he redeemed himself by saying, “I love you, please go see a doctor.”
So, I made an appointment at Tulane Med Center and they did testing. I was allergic to EVERYTHING!
I hope you feel better soon. Allergies are a pain in the butt!
I am so very sorry. Our animals are part of our family.
It’s hard to say goodbye. I am like you. I wouldn’t rush it but would never allow suffering when the time came.
Many hugs!!!
We were boarding him at the vet last week when his blood tests showed severe anemia. Vet did a sonogram (the one they did in February didn't show anything) and there is a mass in his belly.
I am reluctant to open him up (needle biopsy isn't possible due to position) so vet agreed to skip that step and proceed with oral chemo.
I am not a fan of prolonging the lives of our pets if the are in pain or otherwise suffering, but he is still happy and frisky. When that changes, we will make a decision.
This is a "wheeze" season for me and it only affects me on the main floor. I am fine in my bedroom where they don't go much and which is now completely out of bounds for them. I took soft stuff (pillows, throw) and laundered it. Some small rugs can be laundered and the few that can't I can throw in the drier to decontaminate and give them a thorough vacuuming.. That's today's task, It is better today than yesterday so I know I am on the right track. The other thing is to wear a mask during this season -I have lots around. Ugh!
Those of you just popping antihistamine now are fortunate. I need them 365 days a year and have for years. If it's not a food allergy it's an air borne one.
This isn't a restaurant. If you don't like it go to one.
No need to have any guilt about picking up fast food either. When you were a kid did your mother prepare delicious, nutritionally balanced three-course meals seven days a week, 365 days a year? I'm gonna guess she didn't. You don't have to either.
