Diary of a Madwoman

This madwoman, a 40-something mom of two children, is here to tell you a thing or two about life when you're an overweight, perimenopausal (she has pills for when she laughs too hard, cream for when hair grows where it shouldn’t and patches to prevent hot flashes and aggravation.) She’s claustrophobic, agoraphobic, insomniatic, diabetic, stubborn anxious, hypothyroid, chronic sinusitis, allergenic, Fibromyalgia, asthmatic, migraine queen with two kids (both teens, one with special needs), four INDOOR dogs, a Cockatoo, two ferrets, a husband and PMDD. Why tell you all of this? TO make you feel better of course!

Being Stalked

Have you ever felt like you were being watched? You know the car that follows you through the back way yet, stays just far enough behind for you to not see their face. The person that seems to be walking every where that you do. Those “sorry wrong number” calls or hangups. The person that looks away when you look at them. The person that pulls over in the empty parking lot when you do.

I’ve had these things happening on and off for about a month now (or so I think.) That’s the thing about an “over active imagination,” you’re not sure if it’s you or not. Then again it might we from watching too many of those killer stalker type movies that are always on TV.  To be honest I can only think of one person that dislikes me...no, the word is hate...hates me that much. I just don’t see this person going through all of that trouble. After all the person is loud when not in my presence, so I really don’t think they’d do anything. Then again, people can surprise you when it comes to disagreements. jealousy and rage.

I write this here for two reasons. One, to scare the person away (if there really is a person and not my over reactive imagination.) Two, if I should fall prey to an accident you’ll know enough to tell the police to look into my death.
