Phew....

Well...I made it through last night. Other than lots of anxiety and fear (YUCKY!!), the night went by without any trouble. This woman got released from jail and I don't know what she did or where she stayed but she did not attempt to come back to my apartment. So far she has not been problematic.

I did get a call from the Sheriff this afternoon, on my way home from work, and he stated that she wanted to pick up a few of her things from my storage unit tonight because she was going to try to go home. He said that he was aware of the restraining order and that he wanted to see if it could be set up so he could go pick up her things for her. She only asked for her wallet, her other medications, and her c-pap machine, but she had two large suitcases, a back pack, and four full trash bags of belongings. I told the Officer that I would be happy to meet him to give him her things. He called back later and said he spoke with the man at the storage place and asked if I could pull her things out and place them in a corner so she could pick them up later. I said yes.

When I got to the storage unit, the guy working their said that she had come in earlier in the day trying to get them to let her into my storage unit. When she first came to stay with me, I put her name on the account just in case, but after she did what she did on Saturday, I went to the storage place and removed her from the account. The guy at the storage place was nice enough to tell her to go jump in a lake and he wouldn't let her in. He said she started to go all "cookoo for cocoa-puffs" on him and he threatened to call the police on her if she didn't leave.

So....I told the Sheriff that she had more than three things in my storage and he said she only wanted her three things so she could get home. When I got to the storage, I pulled ALL OF IT out. I am the one paying for the storage closet. She is not compensating me for that, so why should I store her things while she runs back to Oregon and just leaves me with it. Don't think so. I loaded it all on the big rolling cart and wheeled it into the office. The guy working said that when she came in he was going to tell her she needed to take all of the stuff and leave the premises and look through it somewhere else. I guess she told him earlier that she wanted to look through stuff. I told him that was a good plan and to tell her anything she didn't want or couldn't take home she could throw in a dumpster. He chuckled and said "that's right".

I was still feeling bad for her tonight. I think though it was more of a feeling bad for her like I would feel bad for anyone that was on the street without a place to be. I do feel sad for her. Things could have been very different for her and her life. Her abusive actions are what led her to be in the position she is in...but I'm sure she's finding some way to justify it and blame me for it.

Oh well. As long as she leaves me alone and complies with the restraining order, I have nothing to say about what she does with the rest of her life. I think the anger is starting to set in more now....but I wash my hands of her.

I just wish the bruises would heal faster. They're embarrassing....and I feel like everyone is looking at them and thinking that I'm pathetic for letting someone do that to me.
