Thank you ladies
My life has always been hard, so I suppose I'm conditioned to handle all kinds of bull****. That's all it is.

Maintenance came yesterday to treat the water damage on our kitchen ceiling. I guess the dishwasher in the apartment above us was leaking. I'm glad he suggested I lock the cats up in a bedroom because the fumes were HORRIBLE because he wasn't using regular paint. Later I found items in the kitchen nowhere near the ceiling had paint film on them. It's very greasy and was difficult to clean. I'm sure I will continue to find more effected items.

His visit interrupted a conversation with a good friend. I got anxious because I had to find and corral all three cats before he could work on the ceiling, but mainly I ended the conversation because I don't like to talk about anything in front of strangers, and I didn't know how long he would be in the apartment. I think I could have handled things better, and I'm afraid I hurt her feelings and she took things personally. I feel awful

There were only very light snow showers before I (reluctantly) went out yesterday, but it was very cold and windy. I just made two quick stops for cigarettes and bread.

I got to the laundry room first this morning and just put two loads in so I won't be so behind. There's a lot of cleaning that needs to be done around here, but I doubt I'll be doing much/any of that because I'm feeling really run down.
