{{{{{smonster}}}}}. I'm sorry that's a lot. All sorts of ~am headed your way.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Today consisted of laundry and sorting baby clothes, as well as a run to the market while Mom watched ltc. Now ltc is taking a second nap because 1 hour nap in the morning doesn't cut it. I should probably wake her up soon so that she'll sleep tonight.

Oh smonster. I wish I could swoop in and make things better for you.

Also you should totally take the dude to small claims court. You don't need a lawyer there

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Or have your lawyer friend write a slightly less friendly actual letter, if possible?

I was thinking what Dana is thinking. Maybe with your documentation that the damage is not your fault.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My lawyer friend is going to go a few more rounds with him, but friend is also the one saying I'd likely have to take him to court. Fee to file a claim is over $100 per claimant. At any time either party can take it to reg court for $400, so then there'd be no point. It could take me months of going to court god knows how many times. I'm trying to come up with ways I can be annoying enough to make him pay me without harassing him. Did I mention that ex-landlord is a lawyer, too?
Thanks for empathy. I've been crying on and off all day, and right now I can't seem to stop. I am making myself eat an apple and a banana in addition to Halloween candy for dinner. I just snapped at my boss over text and I don't care. I'm metaphorically biting my tongue to keep from snapping at him again.
I'm going to take a muscle relaxant and go to bed, hopefully before my roommate gets home, because I don't have the spoons to talk to him right now. I hope it will be better in the morning; it usually is, but my god, I feel AWFUL right now.

That's a lot of crap to deal with, smonster. I'm sorry.

Thanks, Calli.
Nuts! No really, nuts, I ate some trail mix, too. The fancy kind. Protein, yay.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh smonster, I wish I was closer so I could come and pamper you. Virtual snuggles, hair pats, and strong drink. May sleep be renewing.
