Picture of street in Squamish. Headline; 'Not enough income'is leading cause of homelessness

No shit.

I love when I'm telling someone about some bullshit my kids' Dad has done and they're all, "WHOA! That's insane!" and it is not even the crazy part yet.

Yes twin!

CTV News article title: "A drug made from marijuana reduced back pain in a large study"

Interesting. I wonder if it also works in a small livingroom?

Called to cancel my internet as the new place includes it in the rent. Had to get through Retentions trying to sell me on moving services. "How much are you paying? We have some really good deals!" Ma'am, I am paying *zero dollars*. Took 20 minutes and several sales pitches from two representatives

I hope, once my garbage is gone, the landlord still isn't able to dupe anyone else into the neglected property based on, "and this repair will certainly be done before you move in". I've had to pay a lot to clean up after my negligence, now it's his turn.

And??????

"This drill scar on my head? Oh that's just from my little labubu!"

6 hours in the ER with a kid for mental health reasons. Coolcoolcoolcool. Now my ex is here. Very comfortable. My dudes, I am tired.

Finally hired someone to help with my quasi-hoarding situation (I say quasi because I am happy to get rid of most everything, I just haven't had the spoons in a very long time and so it built up to insane levels). I should have done this a solid month ago.

Thank you! I'm all over the cold meds.

Headline from 'Vancouver is Awesome' reads: "Ryan Reynolds gets Freedom from City of Vancouver"

Wait, was he being detained??

Finally got the cold the kids have had all week. On moving day. Awesome.

No one has stopped what Russia is doing to Ukraine, or what Israel is doing to Palestine. The aggressors of the world are feeling emboldened and they aren't just "over there".

Uh oh

As the person doing the work cannot promise the crappy old deck will not leak, he says he cannot do the job. Eventually he lets me know that dude will keep an eye on it, and if a leak starts he will let worker guy know. In the end the job got done. Yay.

Today's Adventures in Moving; at 10:30am yesterday I let the dude downstairs know I was having the sundeck pressure washed today at 3:30pm. At 4pm the person doing the work calls and says dude is concerned about his tools, neon lights and things in the carport which he has turned into a shop.

Today in Thank Fuck We're Moving: Landlord forgets he has someone coming to look at the suite, person shows up, I am not there but my teens who have miserable colds are. The downstairs tenant lets this person through the house (sliding door was unlocked), freaks kids out. What. The. Fuck.

Having someone come to properly clean the deck of our slumlord special is a little like putting lipstick on a pig, but it's the right thing to do?

Moving out of the slumlord special this week! On to better things and cleaner air! Good luck to whoever agrees to rent this dump.

Oh, and also it's weird that the current tenant is doing the showings and not the landlord.

Things that have most turned off the people looking at our current suite;

- the three adjoining doors to the basement suite do not have locks. At all. On either side.

- the typical utility bill total for just this suite.

- no recent updates or upkeep.

- the laundry is located down outside stairs

Current landlord went from advertising this dump for $250 more per month than I currently pay to only $50 more. Ouch, dude.

Something about leopards and spots . . .

That sounds like a good plan!

It's September and my kids are determined to put in the effort to make it a better year than last. This means it's the perfect time for their father to make everything all about himself, and do something to upset them. That. Fucking. Guy.

It's okay, I've seen it enough for the both of us and 95 other people.

I decide to vacate while slumlord shows suite because, frankly, the place is in an embarrassing state (my fault). He decides to ask downstairs tenant to show it without asking me. So anyway, I'll be here for all showings now.

Right?! IT'S HUGE!!

Fingers crossed! Fuck side effects.
