Words

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.

~Rita Mae Brown
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.

Housekeeping

Not so much "housekeeping" I suppose as "updating". In point form. Here we go....

1. I'm so tired of hearing the same stories and the same arguments from a certain person who forgets constantly that we've already had the same conversations six times already. Stop it, already. You're why I don't answer the phone.

2. July 15. Haven't received my deposit from my management company (ie: the renter of my condo) and the mortgage is due the next day. I call. Didn't anyone tell me? Although your tenant was slated to leave July 31st - he decided not to pay June's rent and we evicted him over three weeks ago (ie: June 20). NO, NOBODY FUCKING TOLD ME.

3. Results? The loss of 2 months of rent. A mad scramble to find the current mortgage payment and arrange some way to procure the $1100 a month I need to continue to pay the costs while I sell it. A condo that COULD have gone on the market early but was sitting there empty.

4. The management company feels they did no wrong. I can't even go there, it causes fuses to blow in my grey matter and scary lights in front of my eyes.

5. Moving along from that, my real estate agent is working her ass off on my behalf and we're looking at getting it up and listed next Wednesday.

6. No renos. I'm not going out there. I'm done with the place. So, we're offering a credit to cover new carpet and paint etc.

7. My WCB appeal finally went in. It was originally rejected April 14 so how happy am I about 3 and a half months delay while I waited for the advisor to work on it? Regardless, I think I'm better off with an advisor and for now, that's one less thing I have to worry about. The Board has 5 months to make a decision so I'll start looking ahead to that in 4 and a half months. Or maybe not, considering they may reject it and then I'll just give it to my Member of Parliament to deal with as agreed.

8. What else? The military may get around to releasing me next January. Which means, theoretically, that I should be attending unit work throughout the rest of the year. Undecided on that. I haven't even put on the uniform since October '07 and frankly, I am massively uninclined to do so. Ever again. Because, what? they've done so much for me?

9. Still waiting for a final diagnosis. My doctor sent out a referral on May 22. After not hearing anything since I finally called the specialist July freaking 28th and received an appointment for January 2009. Being seriously unacceptable, we'll now be moving along to another specialist.

10. I'm still working part-time only. And loving it.

11. I had a birthday tarot card reading last week and apparantly, I'm having a baby.

12. With Matt.

13. Since that last statement just can't be followed by anything more shocking, weird or seriously-out-in-left-field-where-the-hell-did-that-come-from?... I leave you there.
