this week and today

 Wednesday, Valentines Day, we re-watched WereWolf by Night on Disney, which I enjoyed. I gave MonsterMustDie a Wednesday Valentine card. He gave me flowers. Then we had our weekly Zoom visit with with Brian and Laura. 

Thursday was a long day working on my feet at the dress shop. They scheduled me 9:30AM to 5:00PM and I stayed an extra hour because someone didn't show up for work but they released me at 6:00PM after shuffling a few people around. I was tired so I went to bed early. Woke up for a while during the night but I was able to go back to sleep. 

Today was the 3-doctor consultation at Duke Cancer Center at 8:00 AM.  I kept saying we should  be on the road by 6:00 at the latest.  MonsterMustDie kept insisting that, because the navigation app said the trip was just over one hour, we could wait until after 6:30. Guess who was correct because the other person refused to count on time to park or morning traffic or their requests to arrive early  for paperwork or just finding the correct office. We pulled up hot at 8:00 and I let him out at the front door before I went on to park and walk back. 

Afterwards,  we had lunch at Blue Corn Cafe. Quite tasty,  in a feminine environment.

how I am

It's a lot of different things going on. I guess we are ok for now. I am entering my constant tax anxiety that happens every year until my income taxes are filed and paid. We will, hopefully, be able to make a treatment plan for MonsterMustDie's prostate cancer after his appointment at Duke on Friday. His memory is getting worse but that's a very slow process. If he could stay in good spirits and find a way to be less angry, that would help me a lot. He really isn't aware of how much he forgets and he refuses to talk about it or get any sort of testing or professional advice about it. He simply will not deal with it and now, with his cancer diagnosis, is not the time to put that at the top of the list. It looks like I am stuck with the realtor who is managing my condo for now because it will cost a lot to get rid of him. Meanwhile, to deal with him, I've had to move all of my money and freeze that bank account to keep him out of it. He's claiming my condo made over $8700 in the 6 months he managed it even though my bank records assure me he's only put in a little over $3400 in my account. Most of that was after I froze the account so he couldn't keep sucking the money back out. I don't think I can keep trying to manage my place in Atlanta long distance any more unless this works out eventually. I have always considered my condo to be my lifeline back to Atlanta. I still can't find a full-time job. I make less money now since I don't have the income from the condo. I still don't have any health insurance. Otherwise, I'm fine. I'm healthy and I have shelter, a car, and a cell phone and that's all I really need for now.
