Life is still stuck in my living room where my 4-room apartment has become a one-room studio. My landlady has given me next months rent to relocate until she can rebuild the apartment. If I do that, why would I come back when she has it done? Anyway, I haven't taken a bath or went to the bathroom in my own place since Thursday. Can you lose your job for not taking a bath? Oh well!
Last Thursday I came back from the Thursday Night Ride to sewage still all over the floor. I thought my landlady would be down because she knew I had arrived home. I stayed until 11 PM taking all my stuff and putting it out of harms way for the crew to come in on Friday … hopefully. My landlady did not come down and I fell asleep waiting to talk to her on my front room floor.
I awoke and had to go to work on Friday morning and I was glad to have at least gotten my stuff out of there. I was a little upset that I did not get to talk to my landlady. After work I arrived to find oil (I was taking my old oil in to recycle and had it sitting by my door) spilled all over the entrance to my apartment. I went in and found that it was cleaned out, gutted, and sanitized. I was happy that there was progress so I left to meet up with a friend at the Kettlehouse. Needless to say I got home a little drunk but in good time to talk to the landlady. She didn't come down and every time I went to talk to her I heard her on the phone. So I waited … and fell asleep on my floor again. I awoke with the screaming melees, probably from the Bongwater Beer!
I spent the night in the park so that I could use the port-a-potties. The next day I would definitely talk to the landlady. I finally did at 8 or 9 PM. She basically told me that she couldn't have me staying in an un-inhabitable place and that she would give me rent credit to move or stay somewhere else. I mean I was sitting there needing to shit and all she could say is, ”get a chamber pot!“ I had to laugh.
So that is the last time I talked to her. I need to move or hang out with limited use of my apartment while they re-build. I need the money so I may just hang out and wait. I know that she would prefer me to move …. Maybe this all happened because it is the only legal way to get me out of there.
