Imagining A Home Without Drama

DESPERATELY SEEKING HOUSING!

Though I'm looking everywhere, I've really been wanting to find an affordable place in Alameda. In the last few months I found 3 I could afford:

1. A studio apartment on craigslist and in typical craigslist form, I got no reply to my email.
2.  A room at the high end of my budget. It seemed like a really good fit but there was a lot of competition & they picked someone else.
3. Today, the weirdest one! The ad on Facebook group looked great, even mentioned the place was close to dog parks which implies pet friendly, right? However, nothing in the ad about pets. In my initial email, I did not mention my cat, however, I'm guessing that the assumption was made because of the photos of my client's kitties on my wall. So, this person sends me this big explanation about how they can't have a cat in the house because one of the housemates is immune challenged because of her organ transplant anti rejection drugs & can't garden without mask and gloves or be anywhere near a litter box. LiLi and her litter box live in my room so I sent back a query if that would be safe but I suspect I will get no response. 

THE SHITTY CURRENT HOMEFRONT

I'm not sure if Daniella's German "friend," Anna is gone or if she just tried to "tidy up." She was very pleasant, especially in comparison to Daniella, but if she's gone it is a good thing because it means I have space to pack and I may be able to pack at night when I actually have time.

What I don't understand is, who leans a mattress up against a heater? I already told her she shouldn't put her backpack and other cloth items against it. That heater has a pilot light and it has a history of turning itself on even when the switch is off.

*sigh*

VENTING HELPS!

It's good to know that venting publicly about my horrible home situation on Facebook finally had a positive effect. After I publicly posted that I was going to hold both my landlady & Aaron Winett responsible and file a theft complaint against Daniella, I came home to find the three specific items I had mentioned shoved out into the living room area.

So, not sure if Banzai saw the post and said, "that's enough" or what. Because I'm sure D.S. thinks telling the police, "She's crazy" allows her to keep my stuff. I'm sure Aaron saw it because he immediately unfriended me, which is a win. I already had him restricted. Who wants a lying drug peddler who threatens me because I called the police as a friend? Not moi. Anyway. Whew.

INTRIGUING COINKYDINK

Interesting thing I realized, when only using Aaron's initials in the Facebook post.  I seem to have a history of knowing shitty, dishonest people with those initials: A.W. = Aaron Winett: liar, drug dealer, bus dweller, infrequent bather.  A.W. = Andy Waitley,  ex boyfriend, liar, thief and alcoholic, diagnosed sociopath (Antisocial Personality Disorder)  who tried to kill me. Perhaps all people with the initials A.W. should be avoided completely or at least eyed with  great suspicion. I'm only half joking.
