I heard from my landlord today, via letter. They were quite unhappy about the way their rental agent was treated by my downstairs neighbor [and they were just as unhappy about the treatment I have been getting, too; having their own staff experience it really proved to them I was telling the truth.]
They asked me to inform them immediately if anything else happens. I stopped by the rental office to thank the agent, and she told me that the couple are likely to move out soon (on their own) based on a discussion she had with them after they got their own letter.
Please keep me in prayer, because this is a vulnerable time. People can stew and then lash out. They could change their minds, or decide to be contrary and overstay their lease.
But I am grateful for the help I have received, and I am praying many thanks about that.
Also, the complex is having its parking lot resurfaced, so I will have to park in the public lot of the shopping center across the street tonight through Saturday. I've made arrangements with one of the businesses there to let me park behind their building [I told them it's because I have an old beater without an alarm system, and don't want it visible from the road; the real reason is so that my neighbor does not see my car unattended and experience temptation to vandalize it. The business owners are very kind people; I didn't want to cause them any undue concern.]
I'm not saying the guy would vandalize my car; I am saying that I have no certainty that he wouldn't, if the opportunity arose, based on how he's been with the noise when he thought there were no witnesses present.
My minister and his wife have agreed that I can park at their home if this doesn't work out [if others are already in all those spaces when I try to park there]. I'd need to take a cab back and forth, though, because they will be away.
So, hopeful news, but I have to be patient and tolerate some ambiguous stuff for awhile. I have booked a pet sitter for my first month back at work, so that my animals will have someone checking in on them in the afternoon, since this guy gets home before I do every day.
October, you will like this part: I was very anxious and strung up about all this and having trouble sleeping earlier this week. So I asked not only God as father, son and spirit, but also my dear heavenly human surrogate parents St. Joseph and Our Lady, to help me achieve emotional peace and clarity of thought to deal with these things. I was asleep before I could complete my prayer, and woke very well rested, and with my mind still in prayer.
thanks everyone. your support has meant so much.
hugs all
