I went early to court to ask for an adjournment. They couldn't grant it without the LL being present. I was so afraid to see her, but I contacted her and she came to meet me. We made an agreement. Not perfect, but it's a compromise after all. I get a 2 month rent abatement for living in the conditions I have, she keeps my 3 month deposit. Beginning Oct 1, I will pay full amt of monthly rent. I agreed to be out asap, but no later than Jan 2010. I drop the complaints, she drops the legal proceeding. I signed and left. Then got a text from her that she wants to make peace now. I can remain a tenant if I would be willing to remove all her garbage from the basement at my expense so that she can do mold remediation. Now why didn't she just do that in the beginning and save us all this stress and trouble. I lost my entire summer to this headache, for nothing. Shysta. I'm going to have champagne for lunch. Miracle. As soon as that pressure lifted, I feel much less desperate and lonely for Mark. It was just the stress making me feel I needed him. In fact I'm ticked off at him cuz he was supposed to get me receipts for all the work we did here before my court date and he called lastnight to say he can't do it in time to be useful to my case. Remember how I jumped to help him when he needed his files a month ago?I'm angry and disappointed with him that he let me down. Turns out I won't need them now.... but he doesn't know that. Yesterday my car battery died in some remote area and I had to abandon my car. I've just joined AAA and I hope this isn't considered a pre-existing condition. LOL. Off to get the car and resume a normal life. Calling off the apt. search for now. Maybe take the kid & the dogs to the beach when school gets out. We missed out on summer fun due to the housing troubles - I think it's time to make up for it!
