EtadpU EhT

Well, it has been a while....... here's a summary....we didn't get evicted, I ended up in the hospital, doc said was lucky to be alive, cause I "just made it here in time", heh and the "people" under us don't blast as often....cause the "neighbors" next door are giving them competition on who blasts loudest...sigh.

That's whats been happening at present

KEEPING COSMETICALLY

 It's been awhile I know, but there has been much going on simultaneously and much not good.


The good:
          We aren't getting evicted. . .so far.  This relies on APS (Adult Protective Services) and if they will come through for me.  Many of the other agencies, including our lawyer and hoping that they do what is needed so that my daughter and I aren't living in a homeless shelter (well, she'll probably end up in a shelter while they may put me away).

          They are doing "repairs" in the apartment.  More like a cosmetic face lift.  They haven't completed the living room [where I sleep sitting up], the kitchen and are starting the bathroom today.  I believe, due to the judgment ye ole Honor set that finishing the apt.  in 30 days, the Landlord and his "crew" are trying to get each room as done, well as much as possible  
          My daughter is in college (two majors and one minor) and with all that is happening, trying to maintain her honor status.      


The bad:
         My daughter got suspended from her "city" tutoring job due to her honesty. WTF!  She told the truth that she had quit a job before, sent them (board of Ed.) a copy via fax (also told her that they would reinstate her after they receive the fax-Lied) and now they want a "sit down" to discuss that matter. Idiots is what they are!
         Decisions of either paying the rent (which is close to a grand), of which you don't even have 75% of that-sucks!  Pay the bills late, including their late fees-grrrrr.  Try o be honest and almost always, you get screwed!
         And my daughter is ill. . .cannot afford a Dr., so she is suffering. I am always in pain, however, I still had a few of my meds that help, so am worried about youngest.   

          Lost internet services for FIVE days!  Verizon wanted me to pay for a new router!   I said, "Hold up, I am renting my services from you so you should give me the router too (since this is a renting service)".  They finally agreed, so I have an updated, new router.  Wonder if they will give a 5 day credit for not being on the internet. . .hmmm.   Have so much email it is ridiculous, so am playing catch up with everything, hoping I don't delete something I may need later.
    

The sum up.

           

Leave It

This  "blog" I will be leaving open since I end up losing the thoughts that literally fly out of my mind.  Sometimes they stop. . .like NOW!   Geesuz. . .damn. . .

Well, it's raining outside, cats are perfectly comfortable laying beside and around me on the futon where I have spent the last two years living on, sucks really.  Miss walking and going out to dance, enjoyed dancing a lot. . .stayed physically healthy as well being so active.

This ended in September, 2006, in the hospital diagnosed with DVT (deep vein thrombosis), now prone to this sucky ailment adding to my other problems, doesn't seem right, just dealing with it all.  My own drama.

LandLord Shenanigans

I know that the lawyer must have told his client, the Landlord, that "you are evicting a person who's disabled, can't walk along with other problems".   My daughter spoke to the Landlords lawyer at the last court appearance telling him that I was, indeed, disabled. The Landlord (as with many who own buildings and rent out)  doesn't care about people, just "how much money I can get for that apartment" attitude.  

I have been ill as well for the last few weeks and am trying to "suck it up", in order to do what I can to help my daughter and our situation here. Working the surveys to see if I can qualify as well as the PTC sites I am a member of.  It's a pity I cannot earn enough on my own so here  is a few programs that may interest you to join.  My profile is on here as well, don't know why I wasn't able to get it on here.

  In the last two weeks, we have received two documents from the Landlord's lawyer. One was a rent demand notice and the other is a court doc.   The court doc didn't have a court date so my daughter had to take off her morning classed to get a date yesterday.  Cannot believe that the Landlord wants interest on the back rent as well as wanting us to pay his lawyers fees!  Piece of work, is putting this all nicely.

All this stress. . .I worry about my daughter and her schooling-how it's affecting her homework (it's already affecting her class participation with all the days she had already missed) and don't this to affect her optimism. 

So, next week Thursday is the day she'll be in court. . .another day for my daughter to miss her classes and this may end up being adjourned since our lawyer may not be able to be there. Just have to keep upbeat and throw all the negativity on here.

 

Still The Waiting. . .

It has been weeks now. . .no new court papers, no visit from the "landlord" to fix the many things that is wrong with this apartment along with our lawyer saying again and again, "I will be talking to him on Monday" (how many Mondays does it take to get some sort of answer-are things progressing, is he going to come fix the broken windows we endured through winter).!

Just so frustrating with other emotions meandering about within.  If I had the ability to walk like I used to, I believe things would be moving along a lot faster.  Sucks how so many take advantage of the disabled. 

Now What?

OK, my daughter left to go to court, along with the neighbor to meet the lawyer.  The lawyer wanted to dismiss the case, since we live in a rent stabilized apartment. . .I was sleeping, sitting up (have to due to my back) on the futon when my daughter left, hoping for good news when she got back. . .

I awakened around 11:09 when my daughter walked in the door, stating that the Landlord's lawyer, withdrew the case. . .withdrew? Why? WTF? 
What now. . .?


Our lawyer stated that if they are looking for another way to kick us out, don't settle for anything under $75K (well that's my number to settle, the lawyer's was a little lower).  We'll see. . .we'll see
