Victory is mine..

Well, slumlord dude took me to rent court yesterday. He served me while I was in the hospital. So I got discharged Sunday, and went to rent court yesterday. Gary didn't show up. You all know what that means.. The judge threw the case out. He said the landlord failed to appear. I am so glad I went, feeling crappy and all. Tomorrow is moving day. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THE F OUT OF HERE. The doctor said the main reason I got pneumonia is because el cheapo wouldn't run any air and it made it hard for my lungs to breathe. So now I have nebulizers, inhalers, the works. I was in surgery for 5 1/2 hours. I have 40 beautiful stables in my back. Looks like a damn set of train tracks. I have faith and I know that time shall heal all wounds. This last year and a half has been nothing but learning and growing. To the moon!!!!!

I'M FREE!

Just got discharged from the hospital. I have been in there for two weeks! Turns out I had severe pneumonia. They said I have had it for over a month now for my lungs to be in the condition they are. I have 40 staples in my back. If I would have waited 2 more days I would have died. The main cause of my sicknes???? The heat and no air-We are now moving on Wednesday morning when slum man is at work. I can't take a chance of a relapse I have always been a relatively healthy person and my days of worrying about others people who don't give a flying fig about are over. This is about me and mine. From now on that is all I care about. First and foremeost I tam taking care of my me because if can't take care of me nothing else will move forward. I love and missed you all.....xxxxoooooo

Question of the day

How do you personally stay sane around a bunch of 'effing fruit-loops?

Lazy

This heat is making me very lazy. My tenant forgot to take two things with him when he moved out. His girlfriend and daughter. She called me crying saying she was going to slit her wrists. My brother the realist said "Well than we don't have to evict her, the morgue will do it". We are very different. Me, the shmuck said she can stay til the fifteenth with us,as we now pushed up the moving date til Thursday. Just like she has her family to worry about, so do I. I am not a social worker. He moved into his father's house, who passed away. They have been together 13 years. It's ridiculous. It is also not my problem. I will help when I can, just not at our expense. It seems that everything that happens is a result of our choices. I am done here. I cannot live like this any longer. If she doesn't mind sleeping in the basement for two weeks than so be it. I think I am being more than fair. Her old man fucked me on the mortgage. That becomes my problem than...Peace.

Moving

We are moving on Monday. Out of the slum house and back into the family house. I can't wait. Central air, wall to wall carpet...my house.. Thank God. The tenants moved out earlier than expected and that was just perfect timing. I believe that is called a backhanded blessing.

hot so hot

I never knew how much a person could sweat until now. This heat is something else. I know, you heard me whine about the winters cold and snow. I like spring and fall. Period. i feel wilted. My face is too shiny. No amount of cosmetics can help. Actually make-up looks worse when it is running down your face in pretty little streaks. Yuck. I always see these genteel southern ladies with all their hair in place, make-up perfect etc. How do they do it? I am mystified. I always heard that men sweat and ladies perspire. Well sad to say, I SWEAT. Like a pig. I have been bringing deodorant to work in my purse. It's bad friends. We have had some summer showers. They do bring a breeze or two, but that's it. So keep a cool thought in your heart for me so I don't melt. I don't want to turn into a big puddle! Peace.

Back in the family house Sept 1...

That's right. Outta the slum.. I feel the The Jeffersons. Movin' on up...I called the tenants and we have managed to work it out rather civilly. My mortgage is $714 a month for a whole house. You can't get an apartment that cheap. No more slum lord. The housing authorities have been calling us as he has prior complaints from previous tenants. They said that once they come in here they will have to shut him down. This is a single family dwelling and not zoned to be a boarding house. He is currently renting to 5 people. So now I have something to look forward to. I have a fenced in yard so the first thing I am doing is getting my puppy. I think Kenny would be proud. Two months ago I was in a murky dark depression. I had tried to commit suicide. I failed. God has a purpose for me. Not really sure what it is yet, but I do believe that I will find out..Peace
