I heart Sparky. And alla y'alls.

Well, a landlord being condescending and rude isn't illegal. However, as billytea said, entering a tenant's property without notice *is*.

Hil, it's not unreasonable for you to tell you landlord that you understand that she wants to keep mice out, AND SO DO YOU, but she needs to give you notice in the agreed-upon time period in your lease before she comes into your apartment.

I also agree with Sparky that you should tell her you'll take reasonable actions to keep the mice away, and ask her if the exterminators guaranteed that all the holes are plugged and the premises are mice-free.

This is not your fault, and I know you need to maintain a civil relationship with your landlord, but she needs to understand that you are not going to let her make this your fault, and she can't violate your privacy (and lease) because she thinks it is.

What Sparky said, and you may want to consider adding that she does not have permission to enter your apartment without proper notice. My first landlord would enter all the time for no good reason, until I made it clear to him that I was familiar with the law.

Caution: whining ahead.

I am not better. I am, in fact, seeming to have a relapse. I am so damn sick of yogurt. And it is most... inconvenient, to be have these kinds of issues while working on a house where the homeowners are gone and therefore we have to go to the convenience store down the street to use the bathroom.

And really? I don't want to drop any more weight. It's not healthy this way, and I can't afford to buy new clothes.

In better news... D is still adorbs.

smonster, are you taking probiotics, and, if not, can you afford to go get some? They may help more than just the yogurt. I'm sorry you're still feeling so awful.

sj, I've been taking probiotics since I started the ABs. They appear to be completely useless, but maybe it's because I just bought whatever at the drugstore. The yogurt helps more than the probiotics, for sure.

I've been using Culturelle, which has been helping a lot with my stomach issues, fwiw.

Cool, thanks. I was just thinking maybe I should get some Pearls, it's good to have another rec.

Ugh, smonster, I'm sorry. I wish there was some way I could make it better. I am also continuing with problematic health- I've been having a low- to mid- grade headache on and off for the last couple of days and today it's on full red alert. Like, I just want to cry all the time. I've never had a migraine, but this is pretty awful.

If you get Pearls, since you're having active GI problems, I recommend the Pearls IC (I think the "IC" is "intensive care" or something similar) -- it has more strains of bacteria than the regular Pearls, and helps a lot when there's GI problems currently going on.

t /knows way too much about fucked-up GI tracts
