Her 5150 expires today... I just read the notes, declined placement in Sac.

She's been fed in a bed since being released from jail. I have a CRO and eviciotn so she cant be coming back here without a standby to get her stuff...

Now she's had time to think about all of it, I dont doubt she might try to come back and fill the car up and bail. (I put the damn thing in her name and unless it's going in the divorce idk how to deal with that yet...)

I'm as safe as I was tuesday night ehrn they released her from jail, doors locked, cameras on.

Our fucking Mental Health system is so broken. Wasn't it Reagan who closed all the facilities? Yeah, now people who need care are homeless and shhit outta luck... and who says they arent a threat to the rest of us? (yes, Im luming my ex in there..)

anyway, had to rant...they havent discharged her yet and are seeking transfer to another place across the state...

And strong. Hopefully she gets help but that is for her to handle. You just take care of you.

So at least the immediate trauma and crisis is lessened a bit. I still have so much to do.

But tonight I am ordering a burger off doordash, watching Michelle Obama, and just writing down my lists....
