You simply cannot make this stuff up.
Well, I guess you could... But that would make you a very twisted poptart, indeed.
Here it is... Today's episode of ...
FROM THE MOUTH OF A HOARDER!

"How much is your car payment?"
Enough.
"How much?"
Plenty.
"I WANT TO KNOW! I AM CURIOUS! <starts ranting>"
<Sigh> In the $400's.
[Now, I have refused to tell her how much I paid for my car, and have refused to tell her the payment. As it was, I did not give her the exact, but I was just so pissed and OVER IT that I popped it out. Now I will never hear the end of it. And it is none of her business!]

"Well, you pay so much in rent."
My rent is not all that out of line with the place I have and the amenities I enjoy...
"$2,000 a month is a lot of money!!! I could never..."
Wait- my rent is NO WHERE near $2,000... Where did you get that figure?
"<Sputters incoherently...>"
[I have never told her, not once in the 9 /12 years I have lived where I do what I pay a month. Again, none of her business!]
"Well, what is your rent then? You pay out SO MUCH MONEY a month!"
Actually, I live very modestly and well, and I am not discussing this with you. Next subject...

"... So I called the telenurse and told them that I had not been peeing myself like I do in the night, why I had to get those 'britches' to put in my pants at night since I leak..."
YUK.
"...And she asked how much I pee, then said I was dehydrated or was having kidney issues, and I told her it could not be that since I drink a jug of 8 cups of liquid 1-3 day..."
Yes, you can. You have no AC and it has been over 90 degrees, and you have lupus so it is possible renal function is changing for you...
"... So I waited until I had to pee this morning and and I peed in a foam cup and GUESS WHAT?"
<<<crickets softly chirping>>>
"It was dark orange! I have never seen that before! I would think I would have seen it when I was wiping!"
<<<End Call>>>

Luckily, she has not asked when my surgery is. I do not plan on telling her. I also am going to my HS reunion and I am just buzzing in and out and I do not think I am telling her in advance or while I am there. I hope the Chiropractor keeps her yap shut. I suspect she will be there, and will definitely see pictures. I will cross that bridge when I come to it. I also have my pre op mammogram, EKG and other testing this week. It is soon...
Take care, and thanks for reading.
Hoarding. No one wins. No one.
My name is Lisabeth, and I am the adult child of a compulsive hoarding mother. The take away from my journey is that the hoard is merely a symptom of a life threatening, relationship-destroying mental illness. An illness that often includes behaviors from addiction, child/domestic abuse, and personality disorders such as narcissistic personality disorder. Stay, read, and please, by all means, intervene if you see a child being raised in the shadow of the hoard.
