Donna,

Where I live I can not get a restraining order on her and the landlord can rent to who and where to put them which ever way he wants to. The landlord has said he would move her to another apartment but he never does what he says.

I had some beers last night and it was just the escape I needed from all my problems to get my priorities straight. I've decided to tackle one thing at a time. I have court with the landlord on Tuesday and night school the night before that and again on Wednesday. So between now and then I will only deal with those two things until then. After that I can concentrate on court in a month with my next door neighbor and go to school also. I do not need to be running around and racking out my brains yet with filing more charges against my next door neighbor. I also need to put my effort into moving, following through with Social Security in getting my ex's benefits, and following though with my claim on other things concerning my ex. My lawyer is taking all my money and not doing anything. I will be taking some matters into my own hands with my ex's estate. I have never been this clear about what I need to do and in what order for awhile. I feel good about things for a change today.

I do best with sorting things out like that too.
Too many things at once - and I go in circles.

I like to make a list and number things
then one by one I can check them off

Dear Barbara,
I am so happy for you for some clarity.
I did not know that you were taking a nite class..is that the photography one?
you are heading in a good direction it sounds.
(((HUGS)))

I believe you are handling all the stress very well right now.

And I also believe things are going very well right now. Give it
time and keep thinking straight.

I'm so proud of you, and I know you can get through this.

Donna

Thank you Jo, Beth, and Donna.

Jo, my head had started to swim in circles literally so it's a relief to prioritize.

Beth, the class I am taking now is a Web Page Design class. I had to give up the photography class last year due to illness. My ride canceled on me this past Wendsday so I missed the 2nd night.

Thank you Donna.

on everything. I've missed 2 night classes in a row now due to 2 different people not being able to take me. I have night blindness. I wasted all that money. My lawyer has let me down and I'm tired of trying to get her to respond to me. I go to court with my landlord tomorrow and then I go to court with my next door neighbor in 3 weeks. I'm just so fed up with everything being hard on me and things not working out. I just want to forget everything and not worry about ever getting trained for a job. Sometimes being everyone's dormat doesn't seem all that bad now. I hate having to make all the decisions, be the only one I can depend on while others let me down. I'm just going to give up and call Welfare this week and see what help I can get. If trying to get to class for training for a job is impossible than actually making a living would also be impossible. I'll hit all the food banks in town and drink beer with my check like a lot do here where I live. I'm tired of trying to make my own way. I don't think I was meant to do better with my life. Drinking is fun so maybe that's the life I am destined to live. Drinking is the only thing that makes me not care. It's when I care that I can not deal. I can't deal with the way my life is turning out. I'm sure my landlord will try to get me removed from my apartment somehow. I don't care. That's why I plan to calll Welfare up and tell them I need their help. If they can't help I don't know what I'll do.
