Selling on Craigs list

Swung over to CVS and picked up my pain meds. Should I be concerned that for the first time in a long time I ran out of medication before the month was up. I had to live without pain meds for two days. Which does not mean I am a drug addict, it means that I am in terrible pain.

Well I put a bunch of stuff up on Craigs list.

More to come

So much for keeping things light

Oh man, my left leg muscles are so tight I feel like death can't come soon enough. Looking into a few more options that will let me continue to live here. Maybe find a person who can buy the house for me and let me rent it. Most of the places I have talked to so far look at my expenses and tell me I need to find ways to cut back. Like I can't stop taking my medications, and I am NOT going to get rid of my pets.

Some way where I can continue to live here.

I should be moving stuff into the storage unit, except I can't walk. So driving and all that shit is right the fuck out.

Coming up on the anniversary of my younger brothers death. I am sure there will be a ruckus about it, there always is. Maybe my grandmother is right, the wrong person died that day.

Sorry, I am not in a good place right now.

My favorite candy.

Much to my surprise last night's most popular candy was the Sugar Daddy A treat I was nuts about as a kid. I stumbled upon it when I stopped at the dollar store along with a bag of smarties and blow pops. Treats I remember fondly. Figuring the kids would go for the chocolate candy, and leave the caramel treats for me I grabbed two bags, forty small Sugar Daddy's. The Smarties (a less than stellar NECCO wafer) did not get many takers, but the Sugar Daddy's I had to pull back on. The first bag was gone within a half hour. The second bag almost gone, I had to pull the last ten back for myself.

The normal candy Peanut Butter cups and Kit Kats went quickly also as I expected they would. The screams of joy I heard from the kids finding Sugar Daddy's was about as loud as mine on finding it at the Dollar Store.

Today would normally be the day I went out and enjoyed hitting day after Halloween sales. But not this year. Nope not this year.

Should be packing, but my legs are killing me.

This is one of the places I am looking at moving to. Watersedge Revere

Falling down now - way down

I know this must be boring for you to read this every day, but wow my joints hurt. I can't get the muscles in my legs to stop pulling. My legs are so tight my toes are being pulled back. Looking at new places to live.

Got a move out date from the new owners / bank. They have given me until November 30th to find a new place to live. So now the packing starts for real. Not just the pausing and putting together a box. But living with boxes every where. Not sure if I should get a pod delivered it might might life easier. Getting quotes now.

I just so don't want to do this. I really don't. Can't believe my medical bills have pushed me to this.

Oh well, I'm shelled - facing eviction

Ya, today is a horrible day. Just horrible. Not only is my pain level through the roof, but my former mortgage company, now the owner of my home is driving me ape shit. Back in September we were negotiating a new value on my mortgage as the house had lost so much value that the mortgage was considered "under water" the amount I owed on the house was more than double the current value of the house. Plus, as any regular readers of this blog know, my health is getting worse.

My doctor had suggested I think about applying for an apartment with the Revere Housing Authority. They had in September several openings for disabled residences. I decided to apply for housing, and let the mortgage company know they could take my house to foreclosure. I told them that on September 21st. I figured this would give me say 90 days to get approved for housing and move into the new elderly and disabled complex.

I figured that the mortgage company would have to go to court to take control of the house and I would get the usual 90 days to vacate. However, instead of going to court, the mortgage holder sold the house to themselves. Suddenly after being as slow as a glacier, the mortgage company is pushing me to move. Last week I was speaking to someone about being given some money to assist with my move. I agree and expected to receive a check this week. Instead I returned from a doctor's appointment this morning to find a note on my door from Harmon Law offices telling me to vacate the property in 72 hours.

Tried calling the number on the letter, as the letter is dated October 20th. I have no idea what that means for a deadline as the letter is a week old. Does that mean I should expect a sheriff at my door tomorrow? Not sure as there is no answer at the number on the letter - 781-292-3900, does any one else want to try?

I told the person I was speaking to last week, a Karen that I would need assistance moving, both monetary and some one to help me pack and move. Hey girl uses canes to get around and is in frequent mind numbing pain. I thought it was going to be forthcoming, I guess I was wrong.

Not sure what I am going to do at this point. Medical bills have kicked my ass this year, and eaten away at everything. Already spent over six thousand on medication alone, and I have fourteen thousand in unpaid hospital bills. All this on a disability income of twenty nine thousand a year. Really, my attempts to stay alive are killing me.

Going back to the Revere Housing Authority tomorrow with the additional paper work they asked for, and this new letter. Perhaps they can help me figure out what is going on. If not...

Well I don't know, I don't know what else to do. I don't have enough money to move on my own, not even enough to rent a truck, much less pay first and last plus security. Of course being me, I am more worried about my pets and my grandmother's electric organ than my own situation.

Anybody want a beach house? Current market value is only 99,000. My mortgage was 210,000!!

Things that have not surprised me this week

So many things I don't know where to start.

- Southland has been picked up by TNT and once the deal is ironed out the shows will air.

Come on people are we that dumb? I guess we are. See when the low rated Southland was 'canceled' it was after half the season had already been filmed and PAID for by NBC. NBC made the deal with Jay Leno to give him the 10pm slot before a single episode of Southland was shot.

Yet they still filmed Southland, then just before the season was to start, it was canceled. The hipster blogs, and the Leno hating bloggers picked up the cancellation that never was and ran with it. Now if NBC knew months before filming started that the show would never air, why pay for it to be filmed.

Easy, because NBC and the show runner were shopping the show. By having NBC pay for the filming of half the season, a smaller cable network could afford to buy the rest of the show. The network NBC is a part of owns several cable networks, but each one is a separate entity. So it was not possible to just announce that Southland would be moving to another network.

Since the not-cancellation Southland has become a very talked about show. Publicity like that can not be bought! Heck I am talking about it now and I have no intention to watch it. I simply want to tip my cap to the genius who though this up. Way to go Mad Men of 2009. I hope you get a big bonus for it.


*******

Thing that did not surprise me number two. Well the mother of not in the balloon boy" has in a sworn affidavit said the entire event was a hoax. It was the families attempt to get publicity. Sadly, they should have contacted the person I tiped my cap to above. That person would have told them to find an accomplice who could have taken little weird named boy and hidden him a few hundred feet from the balloon. Leave his little coat in the balloon or something so the idiots who are American Main Stream Media can start back tracking his entire "flight". Then have the friend bring the boy out from hiding. So that instead of being in the attic, or shuffled around the house to hide him from the police and searchers. He would have actually been "outside" under the path of the balloon.

Most importantly, if your going to raise your kids to be good reality television stars. Teach them the difference between telling the truth, and telling a tv truth. Or at least rehearse before taking the show to CNN.

My first thought when I heard the little boy threw up on TV was that the parents must have given him something to make him sick. Just in case he told the truth (like he did) and spoiled the families chance to become super rich.

I hope that poor kid and his two brothers get taken away from those parents.

The Fen wedding of the year

The first dance of the Wedding Bash - Congratulations to the Bride and Groom.

Went to Karyn and Tyler's wedding bash.  Fun was had by all.

Wedding bash Album

I was wearing this necklace  --. A necklace I got many years ago in New Jersey. It was for a wedding I took part in.  I was a friend of the groom, and was part of the wedding party.  So as did the other woman in the group, I got the above necklace.      

This is important because, well the woman who gave me this necklace was there, at the party.  She and my friend had broken up. She had moved to Boston.  I knew she was around, but never took the time to track her down when I returned. I kind of thought it would be an odd thing to do.  Since I was more a friend of her X husband than her. 

I walked over to say hello, and she did not recognize me.    did recognize the necklace, and even commented on it and how she only thought there were four in existence.  I realized she did not recognize me!  So I smiled and said, yes Jen there are only four, you gave this one to me at your wedding.  To Beldon 

I think she got a bit upset, but I thought it was the funniest thing.  Had to share it with , who thought it was cute also. But to the person wearing the wedding dress, everything is cute. 


Well I am exhausted, time for bed.  I hope I have the energy to get up in the morning.  Two straight days of being busy is pushing it for me.
**************

 
When Karyn was talking about how to cut the cake I started giving her encouragement to cut the cake.  Well, I thought I was, no instead I was volunteering for it.   She stepped back from giving Tyler his first bite of cake, pointed at me and said "We need a volunteer to cut the cake' and volunteers"   I just started laughing.

It is not all that hard, you just need two knives, and helpers to deliver the cake. 

Badger and I left at about 8pm.  I had read the invitation wrong and thought I was suppose to be there by 2 for set up.  No it was 5 for set up and 6 for party.  So we took advantage of being in Central Square and grabbed some Indian food, a bit of spices and tea mixes.
