Although I got eight hours of sleep, it wasn’t without interruptions. Twice, as I was first knocking off, traffic would wake me up. Then I woke up just because. I don’t know why things are back to waking me up like they have been, but I do feel a little better today. Just a little dizzy, especially after I came back from my workout. De-waxed my ear again and that seemed to help. Being on the Amberen and this far into the peri, makes me think it’s more likely my ear than anything else. Especially since I feel better after the treatment.

I’m doing laundry now and Tom will probably be up soon.

They were supposed to turn the water off at 10:00, but it was still on at 11:30 when I crashed. It was definitely off later on, though.

Kim is continuing to whine about her sister and SIL. Her sister does have legal custody of her as I figured. She’s never had her own place and she said something about not being able to work because she’s collecting her father’s pension. Some things she said don’t make sense like how her sister criticized her for going upstairs on two legs instead of one or something like that. She’s such a shitty writer so I don’t know what she really meant. She’s so heavy, though, that she couldn’t even hop on one foot across the floor let alone up and down stairs.

She perceives them as being overly critical and strict and they probably are, though they tell her they think they’re helping her. I doubt they’re doing anything illegal that could get them in trouble. Kim doesn’t want to get them in trouble but she sure wishes she could earn her own money and get her own place. She says they treat her like a child and she’s sick of being told what to do. I guess they punished her by taking her tablet away for lying about having her charger on her. Not sure what that’s about but she still has a phone and she sneaks online from time to time.

I don’t know what I can tell her other than to continue to be a sounding board for her since she herself doesn’t know who can help her. I know for a fact that Kim does lie because she’s lied to me and maybe I shouldn’t feel bad for her with all she put me through five years ago, but that was five years ago and she didn’t cost me a whole shitload of time, money, lost sleep and freedom like the sickos in Arizona, and I do know what it’s like to be stuck living with people I don’t like.

I might have been too tired to mention this, but I bailed out of NaNo a few days ago. Partly due to lack of ideas and partly due to not feeling well. When I felt like shit yesterday and the day before I was glad I didn’t have the pressure of that on me anymore. At least one of the two books I planned to write this month will be finished. It’s just a question of when.

My boobs are still sore and yesterday and this morning I was so crampy that I was so sure I had my period, but now the cramps have backed off.
