Being underestimated might be my superpower — Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents

I am not supposed to talk about any of my lawsuits (all civil matters) so I want to talk about my life, my day to day life as a person with multiple civil lawsuits she can’t discuss. And multiple disabilities.

After six months of homelessness (couch surfing), I returned to my home of 20 years in March 2024. Almost a full year. My spouse and I have separate rooms, we prepare and eat separate meals, we lead separate lives except for the typical housemate type matters. The courts say we have equal occupancy rights, so we have to make it work. For the most part, it does.

I love having my own room. I set the comfort level for disarray, I pick the furnishings, I can toss and turn away without disturbing anyone except the cats, who typically flee. I am comfortable, occasionally happy. It is small, but I hope to create more space in the finished attic to address that.

Never do I get tired of being reunited with my cats, including the residents and the community cats at the colony. They come and go at their own whim. When I feed them breakfast and supper, they flock to me. After breakfast, they settle around me while I drink coffee, watch General Hospital, and work on my laptop. When I go to my attic refuge, they follow. We play with the laser pointer. They play with their interactive feeding games while I relax nearby. We have a routine.
