Where Am I?

Hi God,

Today was an unexpected blessing. Volunteering at the Women's Day Luncheon at church. I hadn't planned on going and I hadn't purchased a ticket. Being on the committee, having my mom gone for the weekend ... I really had no reason not to honor my commitment.

I'll be in Atlanta, with my mom, 1 year this Thanksgiving. I'll have my GS-13 back!

Is life amazing ... should be ... Lord, will I ever be happy? Unconditionally, without question.

I love you,

Yo

It Was Going So Well - Fuck You

God,..

Why am i not surprised.

I don't feel like sex ... right then and there ... right now!

Fuck you. I have a right ti say when or not right now ... It wasn't a no. I wouldn't have come home if it was a no.

Playing an on-line game.  Husband tells me ... "Take it out of here and close the door."

Why am I here? To get put out of the bedroom, the bed, we're suppose to share.

Not sure why I bother? Should have stayed in Atlanta.

Re: Yo v. Bashen Corporation, Cause No. J5-CV-18-

Petition to Deny Defendant’s Request to Transfer Venue

Dear Hon. Nicholas Chu,

As the Plaintiff in Case No. J5-CV-18-,  I respectfully requests the Court deny the Defendant’s request to transfer the case from Travis County to Harris County in the interest of justice and convenience of me, the Plaintiff.

I am the Plaintiff, suing Bashen for refusing to pay fees and reimburse travel expenses incurred during the months of June, July, and August 2018 while contracted by Bashen as an EEO Mediator/Facilitator to provide services to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for a Group Facilitation in Austin, Texas. Fees and expenses that have been paid by Veterans Affairs to Bashen. To add injury, the Contracting Officer emailed all parties indicating that Bashen was paid for at least my first invoice for the month of June 2018. Bashen never compensated me. In addition, Bashen made defamatory remarks that attacked my character, integrity, and ethics – and my oath to the United States Constitution, Public Trust and National Security Clearance.

There does not exist an Independent Contractor Mediator & Non-Disclosure Agreement (attached as Exhibit 1 by the Defendant) between Bashen and myself, as indicated by the absence of my signature. I have never seen this form before.

I have relocated to Atlanta, Georgia. I have already purchased my ticket to Austin (attached as Exhibit 1). Austin is the location of Bashen’s Resident Agent at the time of filing as provided by the State of Texas.

I plea to the Court to denying the Defendant’s request to transfer venue and to continue the trial date currently set for January 31, 2019, at 10:30 a.m. as the contrary to both will continue the economic, personal and emotional hardship already caused by Bashen for deliberate non-payment of fees and reimbursement travel expenses.

In addition, I am one of the 800,000 Federal Furloughed Employees, in a non-pay status due to the government shutdown – and cannot absorb the related costs or the delay (attached as Exhibit 2).

Respectfully,

Friday, January 4, 2019

Happy New Year - Federal Furlough ---

Furloughed-Federal-Employees-

God, who thought I would need to file for unemployment?!

Good morning,

Day 14 of government shutdown.

In the car shop fixing an oil leak. Found a really nice, honest shop. Thank you God for leading me here.

I love you and know you have me!,

"Home" for the Holidays

Hi God,

Thank you again for all your blessings over my life. I do appreciate all that you do for me.

 Why would, why should I believe my coming home would make a difference?

He placed his wedding ring on the nightstand.

Told me let this be my last time coming to this address.
The wet bar did sort his medications  ... I guess he'll be entertaining!

Good night God,
Yo

Two Weeks before Christmas

Hi God,

I'm not surprised ... back and forth the calls went .... what started it all?

As discussed with the new position, increased income ... we had an opportunity for a new start as equal partners, equal contributors. We can live our best lives. I'll be preparing for retirement. You prepare for where do you really want to be besides Mississippi. You start moving in that direction,  and I will follow.

So, it only seemed natural to discuss contributing to the household. "No, you don't live here anymore."

Back and forth, rehashing old and reoccurring events of being put out, locked out, unprotected, disrespected, ....

My lasts days before starting the new job.  "You're leaving." "Take everything with you or it will be trashed." He started emptying drawers and cabinets, piling my things at the front door for me to pack. He was helping me. Cleaning, Fabuloso filled the house. I was on my hands and knees cleaning his bathroom. No sooner did he remove my possessions, he was cleaning away any trace of me.

My prayers, always, that he would realize what a good wife; a faithful, dutiful wife he has. A woman and friend that loved him.  I wanted, I need, a Boaz.

The final straw to tonight's exchange ... after two weeks of telling him before i even left for ATL ... I would be home for Christmas. "I'm going to see Miles.  I'm driving and meeting him in Pensacola." But that's not it ....

"I HAD THE LOCKS CHANGED."

No Boaz.

Have your way Lord,

Love always, Yo
