It was all going well.  I have adjusted to the bipolar, am level on my meds, accepted the fact that I will probably live alone for at least another two years, finances are at least acceptable.  Until tonight . . . .
My mom calls and she has still not received her mother's day box that was sent out last tuesday.  Ex#2 tells me that the 19 year old daughter has shaved my dog.  Then I get home, remember I live alone, and I find a business card from the Sheriff's Department stuck in my door.  Am I a happy camper? 
Ex#2 tell me 'they just want to talk to you about the car break in's that's all, just calm down'.  Okay, that's fine.  Are you the one that got hauled away in a Sheriff's car last summer to a place where you feared for your life (mental hospital)?  No you are not.  Are you a woman living alone?  Not the last time I checked, though over the course of two years you could have lost that thing between your legs.
I don't know my neighbors well enough to go to their doors at 9:30pm to ask them if the Sheriff's department talked to them today or were left a business card in their doors.
This is not the way I wanted to spend my Monday night.  I wanted to get some sleep without worry.
I've called the Sheriff's department, just like it said on the card.  I'm a good citizen.  The deputy that left the card is off duty.  No one there could tell me what was going on. They ran my name, in fact, all three last names, and nothing came up.  They ran the address and nothing came up.
See if it wasn't for the trip to the mental hospital last year or the fact that this month is 1st anniversary of when all the shit started happening last year (I ran for my life, literally, to get out the abusive relationship), maybe I wouldn't be so nervous right now.
A friend said I could come and stay with her except the kids have to go to school in the morning and she doesn't have room.  Ex#2 won't let me come stay at his house.  I called a co-worker tht works with the SD but he has his phone turned off.  So here I sit, scared to sleep, tired as hell and mad as hell at the daughter for what she did to my dog.

    ok.
    the fact that the sheriff's office didn't know anything when they looked up your name indicates that there's no written record.  this makes me think they just want to talk to you like your ex said.  police tend to make everyone nervous, but as you said, you're a good citizen, and i'm sure it's nothing much they want, so it's in your best interest to just wait and see and breathe in the meantime...
    it won't help anything to be a nervous wreck all night about it, and it will only hurt you....
     
    you should be able to check with the post office or the delivery carrier about your box.  sometimes, when there's a big holiday, service is slower.....
     
    and the dog?  you'll have to talk to your daughter about not doing that again....but the hair/fur will grow back...and it's going to be ok openclose.  it's really going to be ok.
     
    maybe take a nice hot bath make yourself a cup of tea, and relax...then sleep.  sleep really is the best medicine and in the morning you'll have perspective on all of it.

    After several phone calls I finally hear from the Sheriff's dept about 1pm.  Don't know if they had the right address but they had the wrong name.  So that is a done deal.  Thankfully.
    As for the dog.  I had a talk with her.  'he was overheating mom'.  So well why didn't you call me or your dad?  I told her that the next time she took the clippers to my dog I was going to take the clippers to her cat and see how she liked it.  I think that sunk in.
    Mom finally got her package today.  I didn't talk to her, Ex#2 did.
    Oh there were a few other things that have happened over the last 24 hours but I was too damned tired to care.  With only an hours worth of sleep last night I got to the point where I didn't give a flip.  So tonight, I am going to fix myself a cup of tea, take my meds and go to bed.  May the world stop turning while i am sleeping, I really don't care tonight.  All I want is to sleep.  Okay maybe a good strong shoulder to lay on and some strong loving arms to hold me would be good, but lets be realistic here, it ain't happening.  LOL
    So it's off to bed I go.

    I just seem to be going through a bad time right now.  I guess it's just my time and eventually things will get better.  Just why does it always seem to hit all at once?
    Is it next Thursday yet??
     
    Thank you both for the kind words of encouragement.  It really does help.
