Of course I don't know your exact circumstances, but misleading people like that can make it harder. Also, if she knows where you usually go for some appointments (like weekly hairdresser or smth), try to change the schedule around. So she can't follow you to and from.

These seem like good suggestions. Though I'm sorry you know of them from your own situation. I'm glad you're out now.

Thanks CNS. We only have one car, but we definitely could change up our routines different shopping times, different routes. She has a car that eats up a ton of gas, so we're assuming she can't afford to waste gas stalking us. And no one, not even our apartments knows our move out date. And we also got a po box so that she can't track the mail. We thankfully got one right before I filed my court paperwork.

My fear right now is her showing up randomly to get my dad's stuff. Technically, she's allowed on the property because she's my dad's power of attorney. We have boxes in the way of some of his stuff. I hope she waits until after Friday to do anything.

I haven't been sleeping very well since we got home from Oregon on Sunday night. I don't really know why. Usually after a trip I'm so happy to be back in my own bed! I've even been taking melatonin which usually helps. Might try a glass of wine tonight instead...

More changes coming up at work soon. I think by June 1. Yee ****ing ha.

As much as I'm loving this writing poems every day thing, today I've started 4 already that are going nowhere fast. Thank goodness for my fallback form, the Golden Shovel. I can always squeeze one of those out with inspiration from a favorite poet!

Maybe the vino will loose my creativity later, and I can re-visit some from back in January.

I do have a funny story to share. This morning I had a few extra minutes before I had to log onto work so after I got ready, I laid back down on my bed and Penny jumped up on me so I could rub her head. Note: she allows only one hand at a time to pet her. I tried to sneak my left hand up so I could rub her head on both sides and she caught me and gave me this side-eye look before leaping away. It was freaking hilarious and if I had been able to get a picture, it woulda been gold!!
