Thanks for the support. She said she was blocking my emails so I deleted her info completely and walked away. I seem to be getting more (for lack of a better word) tolerant. In the past I have let things get me so upset that I couldn't function for weeks. I can't do that anymore so I totally blessed and released this one. I can't wait until I get the phone call about her needing a receipt for something. I'll have to be I'm sorry I don't have that info anymore as you asked me to lose your information.
