Well, here I am again …. life had just been a bi__h lately and I've had trouble keeping up with even the simplest tasks. The apartment complex I live in just keeps getting worse …. not to be offensive, but it is much like a "ghetto." I live here double locked in, with a heavy metal bar at the door, and a boning knife under a little basket aside of the door. My keys were stolen about a week or so - I had a new lock was put on and new keys. About 3 nights later my neighbor said he saw some kids messing with my car and he went out and chased them. They probably had the old keys which no longer work. They intentionally try to frighten my dog, which has only made her angry and growling …. she was not like that before. They run through the halls pounding on everyone's door and running. I have put a sign on my dog saying "Beware of Dog" …… not really true, but it seems to work.
I am on the waiting list (2nd) for a 2 or 1 bedroom first floor apartment in Valley View, which is just below me. They have indoor corridors and doors, and the main doors are locked at 11 unless you know the code. It's strictly for seniors.
I don't go to anything my X will be at except Christmas, and the children's birthday parties. I can't stand the sight of him and his superior attitude to me, making me feel like I'm a fool.
I talked to my lawyer about reopening the alimony part of our divorce and she said that unless he was working, I couldn't do it. Otherwise it was very do-able. Well, he worked part-time up until 3 years ago, so I'm out of luck. So, it's continue to scrimp and pinch and live on a lot of beans, a small meatloaf which I make last for 4 days, and spaghetti. I have this intense craving for sweets and I will admit, I give into them. I'm sure I've gained weight.
I read the other day that Staunton was the best place to live in VA ….. I must be missing something …..
Thanks for listening to my complaining,
abby
