I am in the midst of a move, from sharing one house to sharing a different house across town.
Our landlord went crazy in several ways, including frequent screaming rants and also reusing the same frying grease every night. This makes grease get into the heating ducts and over everything on the kitchen. Yet another clue about why my health was so bad there. Fortunately we found a new place and have some items moved. We have mattress pads on the floor in the new place, as we haven't been able to move the beds yet.
We do like the nice people and cleanliness of our new location. And one of the new roommates is a professional musician. He and I both put our musical instruments into a spare room and are having a lot of fun playing some tunes together. This is very, very good for lifting my spirits, after not being able to enjoy making music at the old place.
Unfortunately we had to call the police on the abusive landlord who threatened to break into our rented rooms while we're not there, as well as on the other roommate who is a violent alcoholic. (Both of these were at the old place; the new place has the blessing of exceptionally nice, friendly, kind, helpful landlord and roommates.)
We don't have the funds to simply get a truck and helpers to move out everything at once. We also haven't had opportunity to appropriately pack up everything. So I have to take a carload of boxes, then come back for more. We have some people willing to help in a few days to move the furniture, but we don't yet have the use of a truck.
I will spend Christmas moving boxes in a car with no heat, with my voice recorder at the ready in case further outbursts have to be reported to the police, and also dealing with some major medical issues for both myself and my partner.
This is rather discouraging.
Once we complete the move we will be very, very relieved. Until then, there is an excessive amount of stress and uncertainty about the situation.
I'd appreciate your prayers, sending of good vibes and so on.
P.S. If you think you might recognize me from another online forum, please send me a private message rather than making that connection publicly. I want to maintain my anonymity at this time. After I do my series of posts about how I intepret experiences, I'll then post some more about my own personal experiences. Thank you.
