A gathering place for friends.

I Am Tired

Oh bother.  I am tired.  Last night was a bad night for sleeping.  Between upstairs and the fact my mind continues to pack and organize after I call it a day, my little self wants to curl up and take a nap. 

 

So, I will plug into music and, hopefully, it will get my engine started. 

 

It is so funny.  Here I post like I have accomplished nothing so far.  Bed making is done, the dishwasher is done, laundry is running, breakfast is complete.  Yet, to me, it is as if I have done nothing.

 

I forgot to tell you.  Remember how I would end up in er when I sneezed as it caused my back to go out?  Well, I have been sneezing like crazy this week, dust you know, and nothing has happened to my back.  Thank goodness.  ER is the last place I have time for right now.

 

I changed our move estimate to Monday instead of today.  More will be packed (media) so it will not look like we have as much stuff.  Plus, I am just not in the mood to deal with anyone except Hubby and FT friends.

 

The soon-to-be ex-landlord is acting so sweet.  So my guard is up.  It could be the fact we arranged the move between both holidays so they would not miss out on their plans.  It could be they are tired of me remembering every little thing they say and then checkmating them when they try something bad.  I have no idea and, frankly, don't care.  Considering all they keep doing is complimenting my housekeeping, I doubt there will be an issue with getting the entire damage deposit back.  However, I will not wait 30 days.  I want it during the walk through.  Why not?  They did not have to wait to get it from us and as forgetful as they are, I am not taking chances.  The last several years have made me not trust people as much.  I even view our new landlord differently.  I do hate that.  After all, one person's behaviour should not reflect on another person.  However, after being burned the last three times, I am wary.

 

So, I will do what I wish as far as packing.  Hubby will be floored when he comes home if I am able to complete what a desire.  I never know...I may fall asleep on the floor.  I slept there as a child and as a teenager so falling asleep on the floor is easy to me.  I love the hard surface.  Oh, in case I confused you....I did not have a bed until I was 18, working and paid for one myself.  Yes, my childhood was rough.  However, I survived it and thrive on what I learned as I grew.

 

Ok, I need to go.  I so wish I could just play and chat all day.  I miss it so much.  What will really be difficult is when the computer is turned off and moved to the new location.  That will mean at least two days with no computer.  Horrible, simply horrible.  I shall not think of it.  I can't risk my mood falling.

 

"Kitchen Nightmares" was, again, ucky and then wonderful.  I can see how people have a difficult time seeing what needs to be fixed.  When you are stressed, it is harder to see what is wrong.

 

Have a lovely day/afternoon/evening.  Today will be busy.  Tonight will be relaxing and Saturday we receive the new keys.

 

Hugs.

 

Edited to add:  I am a fan of "The People's Court".  Today was a case about a condo resident living below someone who insisted on stomping, slamming, etc.  A matter of the fact, the upstairs neighbor stated when he spoke to the police, the police told him to stomp harder to annoy the tenant below him (I would have doubted that before, however, after speaking with our local law enforcement, I believe it).  The final outcome is the tenant downstairs ended up moving and the final comments made by the court and the attorney who is outside with the "forum" people indicated exactly what I have said for months.  No one, not even in a home, is allowed to make excessive noise which disturbs the neighbors (especially their sleep).  So it appears we may just decide to sue for the cost and inconvenience of moving (as is our right).  We would be able to sue our landlord for doing nothing but flapping their gums and also the HOA, and their attorney, for failing to do anything other than telling us to try one thing after another (just "now do this" over and over) as it is their responsibility to deal with these issues.  I am glad I remember my law lessons.  I feel so much better.  Moving is expensive and time consuming.

  • Moving is stressful too, and I'm glad you have a legal case for suing. You certainly have a moral case, because they have failed you, over and over again, in their duty of care or whatever they have a duty of. Perhaps that's why the landlord is suddenly being all sweetness and light?

    I think being on your guard is preferable to being taken for a mug - if you have to choose - but I hope your landlord-to-be will restore your faith in humanity.

  • I haven't posted lately, but I just wanted you to know that I am still an avid reader of the "life of Mo".
