Friday's leftovers.........,
cause quite frankly, there ain't a hell of alot of me leftover at the moment.
It's been quite a week.
Here are a few of the highlights of a very low week.....
- The Legal Eviction of the "renter" and her "not on the lease" criminal roomates is in full swing. We are doing everything by the letter of the law, we will have to wait until Tuesday for our lawyer to have the formal court order to get them the hell out. Exhausting. Emotionally, physically and spiritually. I put the word "renter"in quotation marks, because I think technically you have to pay rent to be called a renter
- Our lawyer noted he was very impressed with how quickly my daughter and I had mobilized when we noticed concerns, and how well we had covered our bases in the formal eviction process.He joked, "Hope if you ever need a job, we'll find you a position in the firm." "You know I don't like lawyers "I reply with a wink. My daughter kicks me under the gigantic solid oak board room table and glares at me. "Don't worry", the lawyer says to my daughter , "she says that everytime she's in." So, I ask smuggly, "how much is this gonna cost my daughter?........"Between 15 and two thousand he replies. She pales and I kick her under the gigantic solid oak board room table. And wink.
- I had an unplanned conversation with a man who 25 years ago, was one of the children in the day care centre I directed. He was one of the roomates of the "renter". Armed Robbery was his last conviction...
Monday (already????) update
At this point in Fridays Leftovers, the phone rang and all hell broke loose . Again. When I got home from the RCMP headquarters, I told my husband that I'd had enough. And he knew what that meant. I handed over the reigns and packed up the quad and ran away from home. Not too far from home mind you, but to a beautiful spot we have at the river.
And my family honoured my need for time away,
and I didn't see anyone until I came home this afternoon.
I wish I could say all was well with me but it's not.
Court is tommorow. The" renter "will be out.
But my days alone did not quiet my spirit.
It enraged it in fact.
I am terribly disappointed with the world .

Sorry its been such a heavy week for you.
I'm sure a good chunk of that stormy cloud above your head will blow away after Court tomorrow.
Good luck!
I'm glad you were able to find some peace.
I understand your sentiment.
I don't have to deal with "renters", but I have had my own rotten week.
I wish the world would get things back in order pretty quick.
gah, people suck sometimes. On a good note, at least the 'renter/losers' will be gone.
armed robbery? why is that guy out walking the streets?
we live in a crazy world.
I hope your week gets better...A LOT better.
As Jane Austen put it so aptly "The more I see of the world, the more I am dissatisfied with it." I know this does not help much with giving you peace of spirit, but know that you are not alone in your anger at the unjustness of the world. It can seem overwhelming at times. There is joy and people trying to make the world a better place to live out there. We can only choose to give our energy to them and not the evil ones.

Good luck with everything I hope you find some peace soon. I'm looking for some too.
Hugs
I'm sorry you've had such a tough week. I can see why you went to that spot by the river though. It's beautiful there.
Hope, I wish I would have kept up with your blog more carefully. "Jason's Eviction Service" would have come in handy for you, eh?
Sorry. Maybe next time you let a criminal in your house you can avail yourself of my....ahem....service.
