Chapter 28 - Emergencies and winnings

[Toomanywords]

I have up and down days.
Got down this weekend after being up...

went to cooking event - didn't win, but could have more news to come (they might want to put my dish on the menu permanently where the winners only got it for a month) Had lots of fun.

Came home & neighbor's kid took my mail out of my mailbox. Supposedly the mom found out and punished him and he put the mail on my front steps - but I went out, got a locking mailbox & filed a complaint with the post office. Now I'm worried - what other mail am I missing if any, any packages....

I am very much in an ANGRY state. Angry about a lot of things. Being left to care for mice & snakes; left with the neighbors to deal with alone; left with the house we picked out; angry with him and myself for all the stuff i was put through; angry people think i simply kicked him out when ultimately this was his choice;

I do have to laugh cause all the "friends" that were more important than me - where are they now? 1 doesn't want to get involved. The one we had problems with, said no to him staying there. Not sure about the 2 other "close/immediate" "friends".

I'm angry and confused - how or why is living like this so much better than trying to be open & honest & work things out.
why hasn't he replied about his stuff. Supposedly, according to his mom, according to his brother - he was going to come over Friday, but his brother told him I wouldn't be home.
Well - why the heck didn't he reply via text/call to me.
Why the heck hasn't he gotten his lamp, trash can, roller seat, food, shoes, snakes & mice.

Like I said before - if this is just an excuse, speak up and say whatever is on your mind or in your heart.

IF I don't hear anything by Wednesday - I'll try to feed the mice to the snakes (it will be a month since they have eaten. They have been eating rats - but I'm not going to buy rats or take the mice for trade. If they are hungry, they'll eat a couple of mice).
In another week or so, if there is still nothing - I'll take everything to his mom's or something.

It's already been just over 2 weeks. Feels longer somehow, sometimes. Everyday a little better I guess.
