- couldn't afford a 25$/month rent increase at renewal of my lease this July (ma douce moitié isn't allowed to work without a work permit, which has been stalling for 16 months now!) ... made an agreement understanding our circumstances... but now the owner sent a letter demanding 30$ extra on the rent for June to September (120$)... for electricity that is part of my rent... has always been for the last 16 years... grrrr... sorry, rant...

I so wish I could say

that I'm as happy as a lark

tiptoeing through the tulips

(as Tiny Tim once put it)

but it's sadly not true.

There's really nothing

this week that's making a

good, calm impression

on my stretched nerves.

It keeps coming.

Latest one, an unexpected

requirement of payment

for electricity at my place!

Apparently, due to an elevated

usage of ventilators, the terms of

my 16-year lease no longer stand!

What the hell?  In his notice,

he says it's in my terms.

It absolutely is not!

No mention of that anywhere...

Really don't know where he's pulling

that from, but it sure looks like his hm.

And this is after he already

knows about the out of our hands

situation with the bureaucratic

fiasco we're truly well stuck in, even

making an agreement with us for it.

And then he slaps this surprise gem!

Again, what the hell?

Another fight to take on.

At this point I just want to cry.

So exhausted,

Feeling invaded.

It's getting hard to find my center.
