such a horrible weekend!
Permalink  
 


 It's being such a horrible weekend for me!    I am getting really upset. It's been raining here and the ceiling has been leaking in the bedroom, and it just all caved in, and some fell on my bed.  I have a nasty landlord, who only got mad cuz I called him on the weekend. I feel angry, afraid, sad, tired, frustrated; but I'm trying not to go on a wet or a dry drunk. I'm trying to handle it sober.  


I need to talk. *takes a few deep breaths*  *cycles through the Steps* *tries to remember the slogans*

Hey Amanda, Living life on lifes terms, leaking ceilings, nasty landlords...I'm sorry you had a bad weekend.I have faith that you can get through this and stay sober. Keep venting, we're here, and we'll listen. Keep after that landlord until it's fixed.

hey amanda,.....geeez i am so sorry   leaking ceiling!!! that sucks!!!!  but  like they say  "this too shall pass"   i know, friend  , it is hard to surrender sometimes, its hard to accept  unacceptable situations....i have been there and done that.....and when the s*** keeps hitting the fan,  i LOOK for stuff to be grateful for....like when my truck had electrical problems.....NOTHING in the back would light up....i was fixing to get a ticket for violation of safety.....than when i couldn't find what was wrong.....failed my safety inspection,  i threw up my hands  , and i know this isn't supposed to be very good, but i TOLD teh negative forces, that i was  going to turn this over to  my *Christ within*  and they could fight my HP,  i was giving it OVER!!! and than i told my HP  *i cast this burden over to you*   and i just said to hell with it......hurrican katrina hit and i got out my gratitude list....i had a truck with messed up lights,  but i had a home/  food/ utilities/  didn't have to abandon my beloved pets./  i was OK....screw the truck.....next day i found out where my short was!!!   i found it.....fixed it....went my merry way,  being GRATEFUL  and  being willing to say   * i give this UP*......


 


i pray that you get this resolved PRONTO!!!! your friend in recovery,  rosie

Hey  Amanda


I've been a landlord for years and drunk or sober never treated anyboby like that,or let something go to that point.


Start looking for a new place.--just a suggestion--If he's that bad who needs it. I worked in the rain the other day trying to get a oil tank/furnace problem fixed for a new tenant.   Not even one of my long term ones.  I know your venting, but sounds like u have an Ahole for a landlord. Stay sober and think!  I have a bunch of my own stuff broke down, but still took care of my tenant. Good luck  This will pass!!--Turn him in for code violations--suggestion only. Be ready if u do.


Rick

Thought for today:

When the shit keeps hitting the fan and is dispersed all over the room? TURN THE FAN OFF. :)
