My Chaotic Realm

Well, Spirit went by & talked to the LandLady... she says we should talk to the LandLord about this proposed self-storage facility...that he is really willing to "work with us," etc. We reread our entire (5 page) lease last night... found 2 clauses that I think make it pretty clear that this is not an acceptable arrangement:: #6 QUIET ENJOYMENT: Lessor covenants that on paying the rent & performing the covenants herein contained, Lessee shall peacefully and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the demised premises for the agreed term. And #7 USE OF PREMISES: The demised premises shall be used and occupied by Lessee exclusively as a private single family residence, and neither the premises nor any part thereof shall be used at any time during the term of this lease by Lessee for the purpose of carrying on any business, profession, or trade of any kind, or for any purpose other than as a private single family residence. Ummm, I am not a legal beagle or anything, but I THINK th...

Well, get home from the funeral today around 5pm (Rita's mom passed 8/31) only to find our landlord staking out a square in our front yard...wtf?!? When asked "What on earth are you doing?" he answered "Measuring for a storage building." Turns out he is looking into opening a self-storage facility IN OUR FRONT YARD. Now, I don't know our rights here, but we signed a lease on a 3/2 mobile home on 6.1 acres. NOTHING was said about a possible storage facility in THE FREAKING FRONT YARD!!!! I think he got the idea we were a tad bit upset, because he pulled up the stakes and his little pink plastic lines connecting them and was gone before we could change out or our funeral finery and into ass-kicking attire. arggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well, we got to weigh/measure the bearded dragons before lights out & tucking them in... Indra, the rescued male, is 497 grams (17.46 oz or 1.1 lb) & 17 inches long (should I rename "Tubbo?") and Hecate, the young female, is 77 grams (2.7oz) & 12 inches long..those lengths are measured from nose to tailtip. Indra has cetrainly beefed up after getting on a decent diet. The person we rescued him from was feeding him grasshoppers outta the yard & iceberg lettuce. ARGH!! As an aduly, he needs 80% greens, 20% protein...and we ALL know that iceberg lettuce has NO nutritional value!! As a juvenile, Hecate's diet is the opposite.. 20% greens, 80% protein. So he gets about 21 crickets a week, she gets about 100-150 a week. Not sure which will end up costing more, crix or miceicles? :-) She is now under 8% UVB/33% UVA. His comes tomorrow. Stay tuned for pythons growth...we feed on Tuesdays so I don't weigh them until the weekend, let the food digest... need ...
