Quick Update

Oct 30: 261
Nov 7: 257 pounds

I am not exercising, at all.  I don't have time and I also continue to stay in completely random places with friends and family.  I did stay at my house for two nights this weekend to do some things that I needed to.  I drink about 60 ounces of water a day, not my usual 100.  I don't know why I can't manage to drink water, but I would guess it's because life is quite literally upside down.  My knee has also been acting up, I think from sleeping in random beds that are not as comfortable as my own and I don't have my pillow for support.  Yes, I sleep with a pillow between my knees when I lay on my side, it's helpful.  Back to the knee brace the last couple days and that does seem to help.   

Breakfast has been Fage and fresh fruit.  Lunch has been whole wheat pasta with a little pesto and some cherry tomatoes or some scrambled eggs.  Snack has been candy or a cookie, for real.  Stupid Halloween.  On my desk, there are apples and an orange scattered, the fruit bowl they are supposed to be in is filled with candy that the agency gave us to hand out.  I need to fix that, huh?

  Supper is when I don't know what's going to happen.  I stay at random places, so I eat what they eat.  I stayed with someone last week and she says she knows I'm watching what I eat so she would bake chicken, I said that would be very nice.  I brought stuff to make a salad and also a loaf of whole grain bread.  She baked the chiken alright.... slathered in a layer of mayo and then coated in bread crumbs?  It was the strangest thing I'd ever eaten, but I know it is a common recipe.  It was very moist indeed.  I scraped the outside off and just ate the chicken.  One night it was hot beef sandwiches, slathered in gravy.  I ate it and I enjoyed it.  I can't say I care.  Walk a mile in my shoes right now and then criticize my eating, I fucking dare you.

I'm going to a Dr. appt today in an hour or so to get on happy pills.  This has been going on since September 19th.  If it were two weeks, I could shake it off.  I can't.  I sit at my desk sometimes and randomly start crying, ok that only happened twice but still.  I went in and resigned my job one day, but was talked out of it.  It was very good I was talked out of it, because I seriously had no business doing that.  I was just at a breaking point.  I have been living at a breaking point.  The phrase 'hanging by a thread' is literal here and now.  I was just doing what I needed to do until vacation, remember... the Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada!  I had a blast, I came back and it seemed that things just got worse.  I keep waiting for it to get better, but this is week 7 of living in hell.  7 weeks of someone stalking, threatening, destroying, stealing, lying, harassing.....  You get the drift.   

I've done all the things I'm supposed to do as far as authorities.  I'm tired.  I'm apathetic.

I don't even want to post this, because it's so negative.  That SO isn't me, but I still feel like the character in a Koontz book.  This sucks.

  1. I´m so sorry! You must really be going through hell. I´ll be praying for you. Hopefully some kind of solution will develop. Keep hanging in there!

  2. Aw April, I can't imagine going through all this. Why are you afraid to stay at home? Do you have good door locks? A security system? A gun, and been trained to use it? I know here in TN we have the right to shoot and kill if someone is harming our property, or intending to harm us. So if I was in this situation, I'd live at home, let the cops know I'm being harrassed, and if said person steps foot on my property...I'd shoot to kill (not shoot to injure so they only go to jail and later come around again). But that's me. Also, big mean dogs would help too to keep you informed of what's going on.

    But I haven't heard all of this story, so I'm not sure what all the details are. I just hate they are messing with your life and sense of security so much.

    I hope something happens to them quickly. So sorry...

    I hate you are living life in hiding...

  3. Oh April, I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I wish there was something I could do for you. Chin up.

  4. No criticism here, weight loss is a journey; it shouldn't be a race. Do what you can do, one meal at a time. Your life is stressful right now and I hope that the police can put an end to the harassment...

  6. It's awful and unfair you're going through this. May God give you strength to get through it to justice and peace in your life again.

    Feel free to post negative. It's your blog. If you are feeling dark feelings, let them out. But make sure to force yourself to focus on hope and some positive things to balance the mental energies, the spirit. It will sort out. It will get better. Even if this means moving away, then the place you go to will be THE BEST place for you and you will look back and see that it all led to the best place. Think this way. Ask for it. Ask for the good outcome when every string ends up making the right tapestry for your life.

    I still pray heaping coals of fire upon the heads of your tormentors. May the loving and just God intervene.

    as someone who swears by her happy pills -- why they don't cure all, they certainly DO help!

    hang in there & i will be saying an extra prayer for karma to work its magic!

  8. Sorry to hear that it's a stressful time for you.

    I'm pleased you decided to go ahead and write this post because sometimes it helps a small bit to write negative things down just so it let's you get your feelings out instead of keeping them in to yourself.

    Fingers crossed everything starts getting better.

  9. Praying April. Praying you find peace and comfort and things get back to normal for you. It's not fair to be afraid all the time. I hope and pray for this to end for you.
    Take care my friend and you post what you need, we are here to listen, support and help if possible.
    Blessings!!

  10. So sorry to hear that things are getting any better, it's so hard to do the healthy things when life is good so dealing with this isn't helping that at all! You just have to do what you have to so that you keep moving ahead in life & not let all this keep you from having what you deserve. Keep healthy & safe & we're praying that the garbage in your life is taken out so that you can live more peacefully again:-)

  11. I have no idea what is going on, but I do know this. This is YOUR DAMN BLOG and you should write whatever you feel like - approval and non approval? Who gives a shit! It is your life that YOU live. Blogging helps you get it out sometimes. Heck, you read my nutteriness. Sometimes I sound like a complete kooka. Oh WELL!

    I had no idea you were having to move around. I think it is amazing that you have been able to hold it together at all. It is hard to maintain normality in anything when there is crazy uncertainty.

    I so hope you can gather the strength to do whatever it is that you have to do to get back in your house and feel safe. Rely on your friends because they want to help.

    No quitting your job though. Giant hug. Give it to yourself for me. I like to give a big squeeze right before I let go. Please administer it thusly!
