How am I supposed to be compassionate of the mentally ill when almost every single one of them that I’ve ever dealt with has been a problem in some way shape or form? Yeah, it's time for another round of Kim bitching. I almost dumped her yesterday and I’m getting closer to doing just that. I’m going to make one last ditch effort to get her to back off and quit overwhelming me with 6 or 7 emails in between my messages to her which I try to space out every five days or so, and remind her that the more she sends me, the longer it’s going to take for me to catch up because I don’t have all the free time she has.

The thing is that this nutjob is 100 percent unteachable. The two things I learned about Kim are that she doesn’t learn from her mistakes nor can she admit to them. She’s totally unteachable and never holds herself accountable for anything. As Aly used to say, nothing is ever her fault. More than likely, she’ll behave for a week or so and then she’ll be right back to the same old shit, hounding me with long rambling repetitious messages in which case I’ll probably just ghost her and be glad I never gave her this address. I just have to block her number on my phone as well because she does have that. She may have her sister get a hold of me but if she does, I’ll tell her sister exactly why I ghosted, and I have no doubt that she’ll understand.

My God, I can just imagine the hell June went through! Her sister and I talked about that too and how Kim was eventually forbidden from seeing her and slamming her with tons of postal and digital mail. She had a thing for June but not for me. So if she’s sending me all she’s sending me, I can just imagine how utterly overwhelmed June must have been.

This lunatic doesn’t get the definition of “too much is too much.” Half a dozen times I’ve had to tell her to slow down. I’m done with her, mentally ill or not, if she can’t respect my wishes and she’s got to be that selfish. She’s been nothing but a nuisance and sometimes more than that the entire time I’ve known her. Yes, I feel a bit guilty at the thought of cutting ties with her but sometimes we have to look out for ourselves and I think it’s okay to be selective when it comes to who we associate with.

Why are the mentally ill so incredibly sociable and so attention-needy? If they’re smart or at least stable you hear from them a reasonable amount of times or hardly ever. The lunatics want to see, chat, and message you every waking moment without realizing that just because they don’t have a life doesn’t mean that other people don’t.

Due to the lack of mentality and intelligence level of a 5-year-old, it’s hard to really consider her a real friend to begin with because I can’t have any deep meaningful conversations with her or ask her for meaningful opinions and advice and things like that. She says she reads my books and she tells me when she supposedly finishes one of them and requests another but I doubt she’s reading them. I think she’s downloading them, opening them, and skimming them but that’s about it. She reads what she wants to read like stories she’s in along with people she knows and celebrities, but that’s okay because so do I. I just skim her silly, unreasonable, and unrealistic fantasies.

You can’t have problems with people if you just avoid them altogether.

Tom’s lab results came in yesterday. A little low on platelets and good cholesterol but his TSH is back to normal. Great, but how? I didn’t know thyroids ever normalized on their own like that. Besides, he’s been having a hell of a time losing weight. This reminds me that most older mammals are fat and they don’t all have bum thyroids. It’s just an age thing unless you come from incredibly good genetics.

Love the Temu stuff we just got! Tons of colorful satin scrunchies and other things. The puffy ball hair ties aren’t what I thought they were but they’re still nice. Love the hat wig! It looks more realistic than a regular wig and is so much more comfortable too.

The carpet runner feels so nice under my feet. I just have to see how well it stays in place and if the Roomba can handle it.

I now have the same shiny sink stopper that’s in the other bathroom. Love how you just push the button in the center to plug or unplug it.

The size 7 rainbow glitter ring is too big for my fingers but it fits great on my right thumb. A little loose on my left thumb.

We also got the three stackable cabinet organizers for the kitchen. They’re not quite as big as I’d like and I would prefer white doors instead of clear but they’re definitely going to help us spread things out so we don’t have so much crap jammed into the built-in cabinets.

The single stencil I got from Walmart was a waste because it bleeds through on canvas. I can still use it for other things and it cleans up easily. Looks like what I want is called a silk screen stencil that’s self-adhesive. I saw a video on Amazon of someone sticking it to a shirt, spreading paint over it with a painting knife, peeling it off, and getting absolutely no bleeders at all. If they can do that on fabric, I can do it on canvas.
