Good Lord Mr Landlord

Today was almost the day of no posts. I really intended to write something every day but today has been such a hectic mess that its been difficult to sit down to write at all. My landlord has called me three times this week to let me know that the guy would be delaying his coming by to measure the upstairs for the carpet. Of course, since he wasn't supposed to swing by any time soon I moved my stuff back upstairs, as I didn't want to continue working off my kitchen table.

Well no sooner had I done that then I got a call from my landlord that the guy should be coming by soon.

I had assumed by soon he must mean this week, maybe tomorrow? later today? As soon as the question popped out of my mouth however, someone beeped in on the other line and a nice sense of doom creeped in. On the other line was my sister, telling me that there was a man at my door who had come to measure the apartment.

We measured as best we could around everything and they are coming in to put down the carpet at 10am tomorrow morning. Which means I have to get everything put away before then. Which means moving everything. Again.

EDIT [7:55A] Just checked the room that initially got the damage and the door is leaking again. I may not get a carpet today after all. If I moved everything downstairs again for nothing I will surely cry.

That has happened to me so many times. When the gutter on the roof gets filled with leaves and it finally rains here all the water drips down into the walls. It took them FOUR times to figure this out. I finally got sick of them promising to come over then showing up when they didn’t to fix the crack and just put something in front of it.

Makes my back hurt just to think about it!! I can relate to the water woes though. I’m still repairing ceilings in my house from all the fun. The hurricane season destroyed what was left of my crappy roof. I signed my soul over to the devil last month to put a new one on…
