Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Potato, potato. The same word, said the same way. lol
The school work and term is all done.
I talked to a lawyer today about getting a restraining order. I'm going to go in-person tomorrow to try to get a copy of the police incident report and see what info it contains. Lawyer said not to get my hopes up that it will help because CPD is known for putting one-sentence descriptions for any situation that didn't lead to an arrest. Just have to see. Lawyer put in a FOIA request online for the 911 calls. I feel like I'm waiting for the 30-day notice to expire to see what I'm dealing with, and also waiting for another all-day/night bender.
Well, I tried.🙃
😂 LOL
Yep! I messed up my husband’s hair too. I warned him that I would not do a good job.
He didn’t believe me. His mistake, right?
My hair stylist used to tell me NEVER to trim my daughters bangs again! LOL Oh my gosh! I never could get them straight. They would run from me if they saw scissors in my hands.
I gave up and stopped trying. They thanked me and my hairstylist thanked me.
Every time I looked at him for days afterwards I'd break into gales of laughter.😂🤣
(Don't say it, but he acts better too).
The time is never right, even though we have a w h o l e lot of time. If he is in the dog house, then I avoid cutting his hair. Standing there with scissors in my hand.....with the power to make him look really good, or really bad....I just cannot do it!
He is looking good today, but I cannot get him to shower. It's going to be okay. As he walks away, I am the only one who sees his hair separate into oily strands, exposing his scalp. I won't force him.
N got herself locked out again earlier tonight around 11pm. My phone is off, notifications are off but I had a feeling and checked my phone just now and she had sent multiple texts and rang the bell. It's all off because I'm trying to sleep. She got back in somehow and I'm relieved but it's always a bit of a circus with her. She says she's leaving. She does not say when.
After talking to a lawyer, I think my best route is to wait a week until 30 day notice is up, and file a restraining order myself. I'll have the info from police report and hopefully the 911 call by then. And, there is video of erratic behavior that lasts hours. It may or may not be enough to be granted the order but that seems to me the best way to proceed because there is no guarantee of success, so why pay lawyer fees in the thousands...? I will be able to show I gave fair notice and if it's ignored, I hope the judge would be sympathetic to that. I have no recourse with housing courts right now or in foreseeable future.
Ive developed a new skill - cut DH hair during COVID. He likes it and hasn’t returned to the barber since!
Rain, rain go away...
As we say in New Orleans, your roommate has ‘bad juju.’
I know that you will be glad when she’s gone!
Maybe call in a priest to bless your apartment after she’s gone! LOL
Haha, I said that to my bestie when I was venting to her recently, that there will be some sage burned once N is out.
I have some sympathy for N because I see she is on a destructive path, but she needs to take that destruction elsewhere. And, hopefully she will get some help that really "clicks" with her and she will want to change bad enough to see it through, to do whatever it takes to change. I can tell from her deflections, denials, and all the other ways she finds to blame others for her behavior, that she's not ready for this step.
I understand. I wish everyone well too.
I certainly hope that she will get the help that she needs but at this point in time, she isn’t welcoming any help into her life.
There is absolutely no point in her sticking around your place because she will drive you crazy!
You don’t need that kind of distraction in your life, especially along side working towards finishing up your course load at school.
Yes! Burn sage! LOL
In simple terms, a person who rents or buys a house, apartment, warehouse, or other place and uses that place as a laboratory for making drugs, a place from which to sell drugs, or a place to use drugs is guilty of maintaining drug premises (also known as “maintaining a drug dwelling.”) The crime can also be committed by individuals who “manage or control” the premises even if they do not own or lease it.}}}
In California, persons share renting, or even just attending a party where illegal drugs are used, [in the presence of drugs] are arrested, charged, and prosecuted. Something to ask a criminal attorney.
2) Viral hepatitis
3) Contact high
4) In the presence of a dangerous and unstable person
with weapons in the home.
Do you even know if your share rental is practicing any Covid protocols or restrictions?
Your answer will be unnecessary.
I developed a hacking cough earlier in the week so phoned my doc naively thinking that I could get by without having to get tested for covid. But no luck there. So I went and got tested for covid yesterday. I haven't received the results back yet. I personally feel I either have a cold or bronchitis, not covid but ya never know. I'll find out I guess.
I have an appointment for my vaccine next Tuesday. I had tried a few times on the local websites -- finally got the appointment at one of the mass vac sites set up in the city. It will be good to get it done.
My roommate situation is ongoing and I'm hoping I'm doing the right thing by waiting for the full 30 day notice to be up, then I'll file a protective order ASAP. I'm concerned that a judge will say my situation is not really a problem since I didn't file an emergency order but... I just don't know. I've read about the different levels of protective orders and think this tactic will be ok, and I will get credit for giving proper notice and it being ignored by N. I just don't know about any of this and I worry... but I try not to and just focus on taking things a day at a time.
There have been some minor incidents at the apartment with N the past few days but thankfully she's been on much better behavior since the cameras went up. She took my personal towels hanging up in the bathroom yesterday. She's taken 15 or so towels in the past month and I asked her in the past to stop and use her own towels. But she took my used hanging ones...???? Why?? She has several of her own. She gave them back to me and claimed she took them to wash them for me. She doesn't do my laundry and I don't do hers. Her straight-faced denials/excuses make me think she uses meth because that's the only time I've seen that kind of thing. She took my used toothbrush, too. I never did get it back -- not that I'd use it again! lol -- and N never responded to my questions about it. It's just weird and unsettling all around. I suppose it's better that N takes weird, inexpensive things than something else...? She took my headphones I use when I do school work. I miss them and have asked for them back -- no response. I'll get more things. I just need N to move out and move on.
Wishing you the best.
So many people have suffered tremendously, caring for others. Many have sacrificed their lives for them.
Others struggle trying to balance work and family along side their caregiving. Some caregivers have health problems of their own.
I am going to say a special prayer for all of us that are caregivers, either at home or monitoring their loved ones care in a facility or receiving hospice care.
If anyone else would like to offer up a prayer with me for all caregivers and their loved ones, I would be happy to have the company.
Wishing peace for all of you.
NHWM I pray every night for everyone on here but it never hurts to be reminded.🙏
