GD came back. After her 3-night stint. I was gone 11 hours the day she returned. She returned to a spotless home. I also cleaned a small furnace while she was gone, which she knows.
I hadn't been in the door one minute when she became confrontational because she jumped to conclusions about something I said. Didn't give me a chance to clarify. At bedtime. Sheesh.
This morning wasn't much better. Got to wake up hearing her berate a poor service worker on the phone for ten minutes. Even when the representative gave good explanations, and even when GD started to be rational, she re-escalated over and over, ending the call horribly rudely and abruptly. Only one F-word the whole time, though.
A few minutes later, I came out of my rented room. So, I live here. As such, I have a right to sit civilly at the kitchen table a bit when I wake up. However, her mood hadn't shifted at all. I got the same crap as the phone rep. She was escalating; I was not. This woman, who tried to rip my door off its hinges last week, suddenly went beserk again this morning. Arms flailing, voice raised, crying bloody murder. Yelling, "Why don't you respect my boundary?!". She didn't want me at the table ( a table she had had to herself for six consecutive hours). I answered that I was raised by someone such as herself, lol. I think she took it as a compliment.
Knowing she has undiagnosed hypoglycemia, I asked when her last meal was. She scoffed, as I retreated back to my room, but I heard her eat a few minutes later. I'd sure like to get a glucose reading from pricking her finger when she starts to rage, but it doesn't seem likely that I ever will. I did give her homeopathic calming pellets, and she accepted them.
She went to the store a couple hours later. I guess we made up, because she brought me a couple cans of food for the cat. That was nice of her.
She doesn't know the cat tossed her cookies all day in multiple locations because of the morning yelling. It's not the first time. I mentioned it to GD once before. I should mention it again? Not sure. Anything I say is used against me. Mere mention of vomit could spark outrage over the (very worn) carpet. Or, she would dismiss it as the cat just "being old". From now on, though, I am going to put the cat in my room with white noise and feed her lightly during these outbursts. I'm not supposed to feed her in my room, but then again, how many places does GD want tossed cookies!
Just in case the vomiting was caused by industry contamination, I opened a new can even though it wasn't at all time yet. I microwaved the rest of the first can to purify it, even though it was just from yesterday. I put it in a container in the freezer because I am not sure I'm ruling it out. Money's tight. But I also know there are problems with pet food companies from here which operate in China. I'll probably discard it.
Kitty is fine. She didn't have any distress otherwise, and broth then dinner stayed down. So much cleaning. It took a long time, and some things like her pet bed are still a bit damp.
