PML: I got an adult breakfast cereal instead of the brownies or biscuits. It has a lot of sugar but there's also whole grains. So this is something in the middle. Maybe in a couple of weeks when I am finally "out of the woods" here so to speak I'll go wild on the brownies.
It occurred to me earlier that the situation here was really that bad and that it is totally dishonorable that it went on so long with so many people seeing and smelling it. When I went out today I actually got a "phantom" smell of marijuana. That's how conditioned I had become. I'm still looking around when I go outside, but I don't have the fear any more. I can't believe I actually experienced something like this. How in the world did these people get into this nice building? It appears through deceit and the ways housing laws are written. The similar laws that made getting them out almost like pulling hens teeth.
PML: Thank you again. I am still staying vigilant here but with no fear anymore. I think about what happened often. Like "How could this happen here?" "Why did they not like me in particular?" "I would have been a nice neighbor to them. But that's nonsense they weren't going to be nice back!". "If I would have reported it sooner it would have been over sooner.". It was truly a living nightmare that I will not forget but I will not be permanently damaged by it in anyway. It definitely has made me better able to handle trying situations. Now I know to take action early on; don't wait. So there is some good to come out of it.
As for the brownies, I really want to stay as healthy as possible right now so I think I will get the European butter biscuits, which are quite decedent. These have lot fewer ingredients and have the old world taste. But when I get to the store tomorrow I just might go for the brownies!
Thank you again. Your concerns and prayers over the months really helped get me through this.
