~ they create diversions so the landlord from hell can't follow your moving truck to your new home.
~ they bring you a Timmie's large double-double because you can't find your coffee machine amongst all the boxes and you have to be in court in a half-hour.
~ they help you get your kidnapped cat back from your nut-job landlord (I'm serious).
~ they let you come to their house to hang out and get away from the maze of boxes and use their Internet because yours isn't getting hooked up until Friday.
~ they give you a ride even though your hatchling has been diagnosed with Swine Flu.
~ they make her little treat bags because she was too sick to go trick or treating and missed out on Halloween, our favourite time of the year.
Hatchling is recovering nicely, and we're gonna be fine, although I'm beginning to feel symptomatic. (I'm definitely having one of those "wish I was married" weeks).
Sometimes it's so hard to do it all alone and for this reason, I am so very grateful for all my wonderful and supportive friends....(You know who you are).
***The landlord/tenant hearing went very well - in my favour. Slumlord showed his true colours...he truly is an idiot. More of that to come. It isn't over.
P.S. We all know people who have horror stories about...
1.- Childbirth
2.- the H1N1 virus.
As my daughter has seen her pediatrician and is on the antiviral drug Tamiflu, and is thankfully recovering nicely, I ask that you guys please do not scare me anymore than I've already been, with knowledge about this flu....thanks.
I have ONE NERVE left and my former slumlord is on it!!
peace & prayers please for a healthy hatchling
