Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The facility I was in a couple of years ago tried to make me participate in a sing-a-long of Hey Jude.
The facility I was in, way back when, was big into group activities. I have hated enforced group activities since kindergarten. It was even worse than the 6am wake-ups. They didn't make us sing together, though. That's just cruel.
I feel like such an irresponsible idiot, and so bad for the vet practice - they are all so nice and here I am not paying them.
You are not an irresponsible idiot! And you are paying them. Just not this minute.
That plus depression reminds me of the time I couldn't pay my therapist for months. Some I didn't have money, some I couldn't get it together to write and mail a check. Ugh.
Anyway, I'm watching Frontline's The Choice, and painting my nails OPI's Madam President. Too on the nose?

Just the right amount.
I'm feeling bad: I'm bailing on a friend I said I would meet at the local Octoberfest. But I'm kind of broke and I already ran and went to dog class today, and I have a ton of housekeeping like things to do before I go to the theater tonight. Happily, she's not alone, so I am trying not to feel too guilty.
The first place I was in had lots of rules and some of the other patients ended up bullying me. There was a queen bee.
The hospital I was in last year was much better. Food was ok and there group activities but you could opt out. The only problem was sharing a room with someone on 24 observation.
So much adulting today.
To do: transfer utilities, change address, finish packing!!!, schedule movers, schedule junk haulers, remind myself on doing the stuff that's going first, then the stuff that's being picked up, then the stuff I can dispose of myself.
I think I'm going to spend the month of November in a fetal ball for the time I'm not at work.
Nice day. Took a walk in the cool brisk mountain air and took more pictures. Time spent with family that lives up here. Talked to my sons, they are of course emotional and upset about my nephew's situation. But a nice relaxing day for the most part. Pictures - [link]
Things about my new place:
We were going over the conditions of the lease, no drugs, no smoking, no pets, etc. I asked about alcohol, she said not to wander around the complex with a drink in your hand. I said, "So if I want to sit on my balcony with a book and a glass of wine, that's OK?" She grinned. "What kind of wine do you like?" "Cheap, sweet, red wine," I shrugged. "I'm going to like you."
However, I'm too short to reach the chains on the ceiling fans. Fortunately, I have a reachy-grabby thing, and I may ask if I can get longer chains.
So there's this guy Walter who lives in my section of the building, and he's always having prostitutes and drug dealers showing up at his place at all times of the day and night. Often they're pounding on the door and yelling at Walter to come out (there are no buzzers) because he owes them money. (Why prostitutes and drug dealers extend him credit I don't know.)
The other night, a drug dealer was pounding on the front door yelling for 15 minutes because Walter owed him money, but Walter had no money at the time so he didn't come out. Then the guy below me went to the front door to ask the drug dealer to be quiet, and the drug dealer pulled a gun on him and told him it was none of his business.
So I'm wondering--what is the landlord's obligation in a case like this? Is he required to evict Walter? Maybe I'll call a tenants' rights group and ask.
Also, the front door to my section of the building is broken--anyone can force it open. It's been that way for the seven years I've lived here.
Tommy, Idk but I'd be scared to live there. Is moving an option?
I know around here that known illegal activities mean the landlord can evict - and if it is brought to his or attention ( formally) the landlord can be held to some level of responsibility
