There was a serious incident downstairs at the mini mart under my appartment.
5 police cars and the forensic people swarming all over for 4 hours.

Got home just after whatever happened.
I hope no one was hurt.

I don't seem to matter to someone I care deeply about and thought was my best friend. This has made me very sad today.

You OK?

I'm Ok.
Used to get a lot of this kind of stuff living at Kings Cross.

Still don't like this happening at your front door.

And, I got a second whammy of sadness today at the DMV. The person whom I talked to on the phone prior to getting my letter from my Endo forgot to tell me all of the needed information that must be on his letter for me to get my gender changed. So now Tuesday even though I don't have an appointment with him this month, Tuesday I gotta drive all the way down to his office to get these corrections made so I can have my gender changed on my license. So another $45. worth of gas I wasn't counting on this month. What's worse is I spent two hours making myself look pretty for my new Driver's License photo. I was nearly in tears when I left the DMV.

Today has been a really crappy day in the life of Allyda.

Rudeness.

Does anyone know where I can rent some sheep to cut my lawn 

OK So it's not a major deal but it has become annoying as this is now going on six weeks now. (Wavy lines,flash back to the end of April) I go back to the shed and try to start the old riding lawn mower. You guessed it's dead. Talked to a friend who knows how to fix this type of stuff and he's going to come out and try to fix it. Anyways he keeps getting tied up and is unable to come out to look at it. (The mower being ten years old it's not worth taking it in any more) After a month of this,finally decide to get a new one.

This is now two weeks ago Saturday. (In the mean time the grass is getting fairly tall and looking  a bit on the wild side.) I wanted a grass catcher which they didn't have it in stock and it was suppose to be in on Monday. (Not a biggie as it was going to rain till sometime Monday) WELLLLL the grass did NOT come in on Monday or Tuesday but it finally came on Weds and they finally delivered it. So far so good. Start using it on Weds. (Very,very slow going as the grass is not almost 2 feet tall) It took me over 2 hours to mow the front.

Last week Thursday I figured would try to get as much done on the back as I could. (We have a 3 1/3 acre piece of property) Just barely got started and you guessed it. The mower stops dead and won't move. (The motor is running but it just will not move) Houston I think we have a problem. Get off the mower and look underneath it and I see the drive belts have come off the gears,I also see a part that kind of looks like a plastic fan,HMM that part was NOT on the ground before. This part might be important for the mower to run. Anyways call the place where we got it. They would be out later in the afternoon to look at it,but if I could try to move it to the driveway. (UMMM Guys the mower is way in the back) Try as hard as I could I couldn't get it to budge an inch. They finally come out and get it started and moving (One of the guys replaced the belts) Turns out the mower can not be run very long without that part that looks like a fan. Turned out to be the transmission fan. (Great have the mower less then 24 hours and now it's has to go to the shop)

As of today,a bit over a week later they still haven't gotten the part,the grass is so tall the resident woodchuck can stick her cute little black nose out of the grass like a periscope and all you see is the tip of her little black nose and the very top of her head. And when she moves you see the grass waving around,can't see her but you know she's there. (Cute little critter)

At the rate it's going I might just be able to get the lawn mowed by labor day. 

Liam might loan you a couple.  The postage might cost more than a new mower though.

There is that,although it might be quicker and cheaper just to fly to Sweden to get the part.

or just return the mower that you bought, get a full refund, do some research on another mower and buy it. Problem solved. lol

I wrote a post that set off my own dysphoria, I usually can keep it under control, but thinking and writing about it sent it into overtime.

My father is going to get himself arrested/killed.....

He really needs to think before he acts and not get his macho attitude get in the way....because if he overreacts (which he already has).  Me, my brother and my mom may wind up dead.

This situation sounds serious. It sounds like you, your Brother and your Mom need to get away from him. Try to get your Father help any way you can. However, If you feel like your life may be in danger you need to contact the authorities. Staying there is not worth you, your brother, or your Mom getting maimed or killed.

All my hopes things will get better.
Hugs.

It's not my dad I'm worried about.  It's the people he's messing with that has me concerned.  Someone was apparently harassing my autistic brother at his apartment so he went over there to ask people about the guy who was doing it and threatened to kill him

ever since lunch I've been feeling sick and it's just getting worse. so nauseous

and went to the barber shop to get a haircut. first time I've tried that. the guys said "I only serve men" then he added "and we are closed". sign said open. And I just took it so I feel like a wimp

Hope you feel better soon.
One bad experience hope you don't let it get you down to much.  That jerk of a barber didn't deserve your business anyway.  Hope you find the confidence again soon to try again with a different barber, remember bad publicity spreads faster then good.  When you're feeling better tell everyone you know locally about this bad experience word will soon get out

I'm so sorry for misunderstanding. I hope your dad realizes these other people aren't worth you and your family's safety. I wish you the best of luck with your situation. And again, I'm sorry for misunderstanding at first.

I need to get some more sports bras as one in nowhere near enough.

Tired to sum up the courage but couldn't do it. 
It's not an option anymore so I just have to do it.
Will try again tomorrow as I need at least 2 more to keep B1 and B2 under control when out running and riding.

I need aunty Catherine's help I think.

Bad weather cancelled my boating plans today. After the crappy week I had, I was really looking forward to a day out on the water.

My apartment is a mess, I have three and a half hours before my son comes home to finish all the things I can only do when he's not home (ie almost everything), and I'm already exhausted.
I want to complete so many sewing projects, but I can only do them when my son isn't home which is limited time and I'm pretty terrible at sewing still.
I want to learn so much stuff, but don't know where or how I can learn it. Even if I could find classes to help, I can't take them because they're not at times I'm available.
