Hey gals and guys. hope some of u actually read this. Currently on a tablet, so yhere are bound to be many typing errors.
Had such a productive day yesterday. 3 loads of washing done, sunrise photos done (i actually SPRANG out of bed to get them done... At like,5am)
Managed to get a sub melt from subway (a lot of stores stopped making it for some reason)
And ran into a kid i did my IT cert 3 with.
Some of he yard work even got done. He world was my oyster.
And it just kept getting better.
I got a message from the lady whom i had met at a book swap place baxk in november last year. She had some good bad (or was it bad good) news.
I had had to get rid of my cat back in november as cirxumstances that i wont go into,meant that i had to move, and the only place i could find wihin my budget, didnt alow pets. Her 70yo friend had revently lost his cat/had had stolen, and he could take her. Win win.
He gist of the message was, thatbhe had taken a turn, and was likely to end up in care, and would i be abke to take he cat back. COULD I!?!?
Didnt need to be asked twice.
The place id taken in november hadnt ended up being suitable for me, and by mid december, i hadnmoved again.
In with a friend id known from school, 20 odd years ago. We had previously lived together, and we get on great.
That, and hes usually at his parners most days, so rarely see him.
Woke up this morning to a message at 7am. Guys address and phone number to make contact. Phone was flat, so let it charge for an hour or so whilst i showered and shaved. Hadnt seen her (phoenix) since november, and wanted to make a good impression. Yeah, im a tad weird.
9am i got on bus to head out there. Rang lady 3 or 4 times to no avail, and him 3 times also to no avail. Gotthere around 10, and he had to be out by lunch time. So i helped him with the heavier stuff, till 1:30.
Landlord arrives, informs him he has half an hour, and then the housenis getti locked up.
Its at this point i ask the pertinent question. The reason i am there in the first place.
'Am i takin her, or what?'
"No"
Wait whut?!?
So that was a waste of nearly 4 hrs.
I.... Didnt take the answer too well. I picked up my bag, and walked off. I may have let my emotions get the better of me, and punched a, what i thought was wooden, wall. Turns out it was fibro. It smashed.
I walked bck to the bus stop in a bit of a huff. Rang the lady, quite irrate.... What.....the.... F....
Then i realised she wasnt the issue. Apologised, and lowered my tone. She hadnt done wrong by me. She was just tying to help.
I calmed myself, regathered my thoughts, and informed her of what had happened. Spoke to her for about 15 min, and asked her, if anything happened, re: him going into care, to let me know.
Quite a day.
But wait.... There's more....
Explained to the lady i needed to mellow out, and would probably hit the pub, see if i couldnt trigger my dormant alcoholism.
I successfully defeated the thought. And proceeded to the local grocers to pick up something to nom.
Thats when i got the phone call...
I don't usually answer unknown numbers.... But this time i did. It was the flatmate. Slight sigh of relief.
But only briefly.
He's had a phonecall from the landlord. Rent arrears of nearly $4000 needs yo be paid by end o business tomorrow. Or we have 14 days to vacate.
Great. Just what i need.
So i reached out to a few people, see what i can do. Not much.
So it looks like im up he shitter, wthout a paddle. Hes also reaching out on his side.
And thats why my feed may get a little bit more busy.
Apologies for lack of pictures, tethered internet.
