Hello, my Journeyers,
I pray that all is well with everyone all is keeping safe.
I'm on today to apologize for my absence and not posting lately. Besides keeping busy between work, doing studies to be a Nutrition Coach, and trying to keep up with housework and spending time with my Beloved Husband.
But, presently things have gotten even harder for us on the home front, that my mind has been so distracted with stress and the overwhelming sense of loss.
I normally don't share fully my personal life. For I don't believe in venting out my troubles. So, I am apologizing for venting out to you all. But, I feel that I need to let off some steam to help clear my mind.
For the past several years, we have been in the same apartment building. We have done our best to work with the landlord, especially with time were rough and I was the only one bringing income at the time. In April 2019, the water and gas were shut off. In June, we were later notified by the person he placed the building in charge of, that it was due for pipe leakage in the gas lines, and that he will get it fixed in due time.
Well, time passed, we helped a little with some demo of the building so that he could continue to do reservations and help cover what we owe. Didn't work out too much. Plus, he's still expecting payments, even when there are no utilities, which we have learned that we don't have to pay. For since the utilities are included in the rent, we as tenants can refuse payments until they are turned back on. He hasn't even tried to work anything with us.
We thought that we could get into a different place by the spring of 2020, but then the pandemic happened and we were stuck again in a worthless place that no one cares about. Going to the gym for showers, buying water to wash dishes, and using electric appliances for cooking.
But, now, we are in a bigger situation. As of Tuesday, August 3rd of the year, the electricity was finally shut off. We went to the town to see if we could at least put it in our name, but they refuse. Saying it's still in the landlord's name, and that he had already stated that the place was empty and that there's no need to have the extra electricity on. He knows that we're there and everything, but refuses to acknowledge it.
So, at the moment you all could say we are borderline homeless. No place to go, no way to cook or even to keep food in the house, for we are still there. We're stressed that someone would come and just throw things out. We're rushing to try to find a new place but many are refusing cause we do have animals, or some places rather rent out weekly right now and earn more money than getting payments monthly.
Again, I do apologize for just dropping all this on you, my followers, friends, and family. I'm not doing this to seek out pity or attention. I just need to let you all know the reason why I haven't been on lately.
Please take care, be safe, and I will keep everyone in the loop as to what's happening and hopefully, by then we will be in a new home.
