Marie admitted she felt hurt and that’s why she lashed out at me, though her door is still open to me. As I told her, she didn’t do anything wrong in the way that my sister and the sick twists in Arizona have, she’s just annoying at times with her silly paranoia and sometimes too many messages when I’m trying to work. As I reminded her, no one’s perfect, but if she can just take what I say at face value and understand my busyness has nothing to do with her, that would really help. It’s not her fault, as I also told her, that I can’t always control my own inbox-diving habit and that I keep checking and responding to emails when I know I should be working. I need to learn to stay outa my inbox when I’m busy. But I get paranoid as well and start thinking that if I let so many hours pass by before I check/reply to messages from her, she’ll think something’s wrong or I’m pissed at her. Nonetheless, I’ll work on keeping out of my box when I’m busy.

Alison totally knows what I’m going through with her. There’s this girl who’s been stalking her online and joins every single site she joins. She says these types are toxic and never happy. That is a very good way to describe Marie as much as I still, and probably always will, have a place in my heart for her.

The question is, did she set up an additional account to “comment” on her entry to make it look like others sympathized with her because I tell her she’s driving me away? The thing that made me wonder is A, the user name is jodiecolts. Well, my name’s Jodi without the e, and the Colts are her favorite football team. B, the account is empty. There’s no user info. No location, no DOB, no nothing. While it’s not impossible, it also seems strange that she would get a comment after just a few entries while I have over 20 entries and 0 comments. C, this person has just one entry that was left a couple of days ago, saying she still misses her husband after 10 years and wonders if she should go back to him. She even has a poll asking what people think. Marie left a comment on the entry empathizing with her and saying she still hopes “her girl” comes back to her. The writing style is a bit different, but if it’s her, she may’ve gone out of her way to make sure of that.

We’ve got yet another round of mice we’ve been trapping. This place has been absolutely terrible as far as mice go. Once in a while would be fine, but here it’s one after another. Again, I can totally see why they couldn’t keep anyone here.

Also, our little freeloaders in back are shooting again. I can’t swear 100% that it’s them doing it, but it’s the same gun that’s been a problem before. They fired a single shot. Then another shot a minute later. Then 3 shots in rapid succession a minute later. I just hope this isn’t going to be a regular thing!

Heading out soon to get the MagicJack, pick up the mail, and enjoy a treat of burgers and fries!
