I am a grandma!

Strange, right after my last post I was basically attacked by my neighbor when I took Kayla for her last walk of the day.  He actually threatened to kill me.  What is mind-boggling is that his father sat in his car and did nothing.  The neighbor even kicked in my front door.  Thank goodness I had my cell phone with me.  The police arrived and they arrested him on the spot.  He was apparently released and the courts have ordered that he is not to return to this building.  It is now day 4 of him being gone and the difference is noticeable.  Kayla has not woken me up once in the last 4 days.  She is also much calmer.  I have finally had a few full nights of sleep.  Amazing.  There is a much less toxic feel to the building. Sucks that my fridge died on a Friday.  Means that they can't get me a new one until Monday.  Have to keep most of my stuff in the window to keep it cool.  Oh, well.  Short term irritation.  LOL.  Have a great rest of weekend and week, my friends. TTFN.

I feel terrible.  I love my animals.  I really do.  But I am going through a very difficult time right now.  The cat has suddenly become very affectionate and clingy.  The dog is terrified of every sound and noise.  I haven't slept a full night in months.  I spend so much time comforting and taking care of them.  Yet there is nobody there to comfort or take care of me. I know it sounds selfish, but I just don't know how much energy I have left.  This is really taking a toll on me.  "Friends" don't want to hear about it anymore.  Can't really blame them.  But I have always been there for them.  Guess I know who my real friends are, and there aren't many.  Just so tired of this whole damned mess.  Grrrrrrrrrrrr. TTFN.

May the Goddess forgive me, but I am having visions of what I could do to my neighbor.  They involve a 2 X 4 across his nose.  :-)  He is terrorizing my dog.  That I cannot forgive.  Please let this end soon.  It may sound selfish, but I would like to have 1 full night of sleep,  But mostly, I don't want my Kaylagirl to have these panic attacks. I would love to break his nose just for terrifying my girl.  But that would bring me to his level.  I do so understand an eye for an eye.  Just the law seems to favor the other person.  Grrrrrr.

Feeling a little down.  The neighbor has really been taking a toll on Kayla and me.  This weekend, I have had to deal with having a cold.  Then my cable box died.  Not big things, by any means, but little things to add on to other little things.  Then friends who say they care, but don't even ask how you are doing.  My landlord had the gaul to give me a rent increase.  Wow,  Despite everything that is going on.  While the neighbor isn't as bad as he was, he still chips away at my sanity little by little.  Drop the charges?  Yeah, right.  The prick.  Hoping he gets what he deserves. TTFN.
