It was a quiet sort of day, most of today. Until about half past four, when my landlord started gabbling at me from outside - I was busy typing, so I finished my sentence, by which time he had come knocking on my front door.
First he offered me oranges, which I declined and then he barked at me to hang up the curtains he was holding out for me, in my bathroom. He's got visitors coming and doesn't want them to have to look at my torn bathroom lace curtains. I said no, and he got louder, saying how he's 'asking me nicely' to which I replied, calmly, that 'no, you're not asking me nicely, you're barking at me. I've had enough of that.' He screamed that those curtains WILL be put up in my bathroom, he will come into my home and do it himself tomorrow.
Then, as I was sitting at my PC again, he came to the bedroom window and carried on shouting at me - the curtains are closed, so I paid no attention. Except ... I'm scared! My heart is pounding and just won't calm down. I'm going ice cold, simply from the blood draining from me as I'm sitting here with a pounding heart, trying to calm down ...
I shared what had happened in a chatroom ... there is nothing I can do! I feel scared and helpless. As I was sitting here, I could hear them both outside, discussing how they will 'take control back over their own house'. It sounded like they were dictating an e-mail to some lawyers - she works at several lawyers offices, so she'll have all the might of lawyers behind her. They want the bathroom sorted out (I can only guess they mean the curtains), and the boxes to disappear from the lounge - how he's told me many times to do something about them ... he claims there are cockroaches in those boxes! Utter nonsense. And there's nowhere I can unpack them, anyway.
This new development leaves me very little option - I am going to have to move, and fast! Just ... how? I'm going to have to talk to my boss about finance - there is an annuity I should be able to cash in. But that will take time ... I'll also have to pay for a cat hotel again, there's no where to shut the cats in during the move.
On a positive note, though, there are quite a few really nice places going for less than I'm paying now. I haven't seen 'perfect' yet, nothing that really speaks to me ... but it's close to the end of the month, and new places should start popping up again soon. In the long run, it could be a good thing. The places available are all open plan - so much nicer! And if I can find a 2 bedroom place, I can use one for storage again.
Mippies let me wait for a long time, I got worried so I went out to look for them - and Ziva and Mewthos came to me and the three of us walked home. Janey did not come early - she let me wait for over an hour. Not too late, though!
When I was making myself a cup of tea, I found out that he's turned off the water again, so I can't even have a hot foot spa, nor a shower, nothing. That is illegal! He doesn't care ...
I've opened the lace curtains completely, so they are not visible from outside, and closed my curtains. I'll leave it like that tomorrow ... I really hope he won't force his way into my home! It's not much different than any other home invasion ... it feels the same, except I'm feeling it in trepidation ... expecting it to happen. Which lasts longer than an armed robbery!
I'm freezing now, so I'll climb under the duvet ... Can't even flush my toilet!
