Well, it appears we have found a place to move to.

We will see how the long term goes. I am still very concerned about my husband. He is getting even more scatterbrained and unable to remember anything. Now, he keeps coming up with strange ideas and way to handle simple things. I am scared. This is the worst time for either of us to have any kind of issue. Especially when I am fighting for my life to make sure my Adjustment Anxiety Disorder does not flare up, as moving is one of the biggest triggers for it. When it hits, I am literally catatonic at times. We cannot afford to have this happen.

But, that is what we get for moving a thousand miles away to a place where we know no one other than the person we are trying to get away from, not to mention a place that obviously does not want to know us. It is all but impossible to have a life without the presence of others in some form. Even casual acquaintances would be preferable to no one at all. But, despite my constantly pointing this very thing out, he was adamant that we move up here. Yes, the person had ulterior motives and once he learned that he was not getting his way, he might as well have disappeared. Yes, we tried to move out in 2019, just to have COVID hit and ruin everything for us. Yes, we will probably be homeless and destitute soon because the word 'affordable' does not exist in this country anymore.

Yes, I am about done with all of this. Were it not for my husband, it would already be over. Damn it.

There are already issues with the leasing terms, but there is nothing I can do about them now. They won't even allow using a candle, or incense, or smoking (understandable), or vaping anywhere on the property. I can adapt to the no smoking in the building, but no where at all? They also do not allow bicycles to be ridden anywhere on the property. How in the hell am I supposed to get the damned thing out to the street then??

Plus, my body is starting to get worse in some ways. My back is now really bad and since my ribs won't allow me to visit a chiropractor and just get it all adjusted, I may have to look into other options. There are no other options with my socioeconomic position. Chiropractors were my best value at trying to keep this body active. Now, with that and all the surgeries, I am about done.

But, I appreciate the support from the DU as always. My husband does not even know about this aspect of things, as he has been pretty zoned out since we got the news that our tenure as 'flavor of the month' was expiring.

Guessing if you sneak out the back and field strip your cigarettes so you aren't leaving a mess, nobody will bother you.

No bidycles either? WTH??????

Maybe you can get a doc to write a note to landlord saying the bicycling is for your health? Just a thought... Maybe keep it on hand in case you get caught riding your bike, like a get out of jail free card. Ridiculous!

Sorry to hear about your husband's decline. You are in a tough spot, my friend, and I empathize with you.

Things are tough everywhere.... except...



Yet, we are willing to starve and die rather than interrupt them...
