It has been heaven on earth for me since Brad has been away.The whole house has been quiet and I am free to do all of the stuff that I always do.All of the cats miss him including Tuffy and I have been buying a lot of cat food.I am feeding all of the strays and the raccoons!The other day I broke down and I cried all over Frank.I cried at the fact that I cannot see him nor can I talk to him.And I cried so much I threw up and everything came up.At this point in my life in seattle,I have got no friends.I was friends with a girl named Diane but she moved to another part of Washington that does not have good public transportation.The same goes with my friend Cheryl and Gary..they are up in Roslyn.I send them a Xmas card every year.All of the people that I used to work with are gone.Lance went back to Hawaii.And Bill resigned.Another one quit and noone knows where he is.But the person who really helped me in in a bad way.I can no longer bother with him and he really needs help.He has become addicted to Meth and everyone has left him.They took away his dogs and cats because he was abusing them.He was also evicted and owes a lot of people money..but I cannot see him at this time and when he saw me in Ballard in 2003..he asked me for $20.00!I do not give anyone money.I cannot afford it. I have to save my money for the rent and cat food and all of the utlitiles.Brad will be home on July 5th! And the cats will be here also.Because of the july 4th weekend..my cats are on the inside! I do not let them out because here July 4th -well everyone acts crazy!And I found out that I will not get the tax rebate.I really needed that 300.00 but I will pay some of my bills after the 5th! As of the 1st of July,I will be on a budget! The festivals are already coming up here!
