Wow, that is very interesting... about the weight of muscle.

I've been so perplexed by all the work I've been doing (a little at a time) without losing weight. I was thinking that if I was up painting for an hour a day, then I would for sure lose weight... because I wasn't in bed.

but it wasn't happening.

I thought it was because of how we have to make this huge mental effort to complete tasks when there's pain... and I thought somehow that was keeping my body in a fat stasis.

But now, I wonder if it was that I was exchanging ...

no...

it can't be that.

Because you looked great. And... I have a terror of weighing myself because I get absolutely obsessed... and then I get into major fear that I am going to gain weight... so I don't weigh myself anymore. I measure, and I have clothes that I try on and which fit more and more loosely.

So I don't weigh myself... and I can't say that I've gained weight.


Well, the thing with our kids is hard.

Did you see that movie, Riding in Cars with Boys? The end is pretty interesting... I won't tell you in case you haven't seen it.

But it's a good movie in terms of our relationship with our parents...

Okay, the court thing...

I had three properties because when I just had my 600 sq ft condo my son said he wanted to come here to Santa Fe from London to live.

So I bought a three bedroom house, rented the condo, he came and hated it and went back to London, and I cried every time I was in the house I bought with high hopes of us having this great relationship.

So I bought another house and moved into it and rented the townhouse that was making me cry.

years pass... things happen.

I move back into the condo after my tenants moved out, saying they weren't feeling well.

They'd had the sewer back up... and I'd had it fixed. I didn't really think anything of it.

Well, there had always been small sink holes, and when the tenants had been gardening a new larger one had appeared.

Okay, so there started to be sort of loud bangs... and it turns out that there was hydrogen sulfide in my condo (the bangs caused me to call around and I was told to get some air tests).

So that explained why I was falling more and bumping into stuff when I walked, and was losing memory again at an alarming rate.

The condo association had a legal duty to pay their share of the remediation, but they hired a lawyer who advised them to say there wasn't a privy pit, that it was all a broken sewer.

I argued that you can't flush bottles down a toilet, and there were a lot of bottles in the pit... but the judge favored them.

Of course there is a "previously"

This major Christian guy had borrowed a lot of money from me... sold me cubic zirconium as diamond... etc. and I wanted my $10,000 after he wrecked my car. So he filed in family court and said we were a family and I was abusing him.

He had consistently said to me that God couldn't love me because I was too interested in money, that I was always bringing it up. He considered me wanting the money he owed me to be abusive.

So I got all the papers in order to show what he owed and how I'd paid him every single thing I owed him (he then had gone on to argue that I owed him $80,000 for legal work that he'd done -- he wasn't a lawyer). And I had to read in court because I couldn't remember because I was living in the hydrogen sulfide; he on the other hand had this country bumpkin way of talking that I think he practiced because it made him sound so genuine... and the judge said in court, to him, "I believe you."

I was just shocked.

So I went home and called Pueblo, Colorado where he came from and talked with another jeweler there, and the jeweler's wife said she'd send me some of the cases against him there... she sent over 30 and then after she told me how to find them, I found another 13.

Okay.

So come the condo case and the judge says in court, "Don't worry, I'll make her pay everything she owes you."

He hadn't seen any evidence when he said that.

So when he also said he was going to have all my foreclosure cases I was a bit beside myself.

So since by this time he was not allowing me to read, I filed an ADA case against him in Federal Court... so he couldn't hear any of my cases any more.



But it ****** off all the other judges.

And my case was eventually dismissed -- despite the fact that the case the opposition had relied upon had been overturned. Only I forgot (I had tetanus at this time) that when I wanted to amend my complaint, it had to be amended, I had to attach the amended complaint to my motion for leave to amend. Failing the attachment, my case was dismissed. But I kept thinking it was because judges all stick together.... only recently did I snap to the amendment thing... (I'd done a chapter 11 earlier, and knew about the amendment thing... or else I knew about it from having sued the City of Santa Fe for taking me out of the hospital and putting me in jail for weeds... they settled for a small amount of money, about $12,500.)

Okay, so then my tenants burned out the boiler and I ceased to be able to get rent. Major poverty. Lucky I was getting meals every day.

Foreclosures... they foreclosed my home and people were always trying to force their way in because I had so much equity... they wanted to see my home so they could get it.

Stress.

yes... I think stress is damaging to health.

So then I filed bankruptcy, then wrote a motion to please dismiss it so I could sell my single family... and the court did, and I did, and so I was all happy.

But Judge Sanchez, the one who had the restraining order against Letterman for sending bad thoughts to a woman here, foreclosed my condo with no notice to me... it was sold at foreclosure and I was still paying to have the final bits of remediation done re the privy pit...

I had it listed at Sotheby's and a Sotheby's agent bought it... He got about $150,000 in equity of mine.

So I argued in court that there hadn't been due process and the judge sort of laughed at me. I was told that he'd told the Sotheby's agent's broker that there was "no way" I'd get my condo back.

I think he was influenced by my case against the chief judge... the ADA case.

So I'm appealing.

And it's very stressful.

that probably wasn't clear...

In between I hired a lawyer... and she was just abysmal.

I also paid $7,500 interest to borrow money to redeem, and I couldn't redeem, they let the Sotheby's realtor redeem on unadjudicated liens...

Oh... see the condo association put their entire legal bill on me, and said I owed that much... and then they filed a lien. It was never adjudicated, and I'd asked at least three times.

So their liens weren't really appropriate to allow for redemption...

but... if the judge said there was no way I'd get my condo back... this sure fit right in...

So that's about it.



Are you sorry you asked?

(The Christian guy is in prison... he got $30,000 from a woman who was much smarter than me, and she got him caught. )
