My Chaotic Realm

Well, I woke up with a Meredith Brooks song...now I can't remember it... I really should write them down first thing. By them time I feed the 4 small mammals, the 3 cats & 1 large dog, then make 6 salads... I do well to remember to eat breakfast...much less remember anything once I walk out the door. Winter is trying to make an appearance...can't imagine why as it is only mid-November in Texas. There was actually frost on my windshield this morning...down to 66 degrees in the lizard lair. Still waiting to hear from the mortgage people about our closing date... they are shooting for today or Monday and if THAT happens, we are palnning to actually move in on Thanksgiving Day. Why waste a paid day off, ya know? Well, for now...we wait. Art Saturday is tomorrow, and is right around the corner from our place, so that is nice. Deep work on Sunday, so need to work on that a bit... see what type of PR I want to present.

Came in to work early today.... only to find the shop Siamese, Snow (short for Snowball) slain in the parking lot across the street from our office.... buried her out back in the truck yard, where she used to catch lizards & bring them to me as treats.... her favorite place lately had been at my feet under my desk (heater is there, too) or in my lap helping me type up invoices.... which is where she was shortly before 5pm yesterday. Buried her with some food & water, a magic stone, and best wishes for a speedy trip across the bridge. Blessings to you, Snow, and I will see you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Wonderful evening last night with Max Dashu...what a lovely spirit!! here is her website http://www.suppressedhistories.net/aboutmax.html

Well... heard from mortgage broker today...we are now in the underwriting process and may even be closing as soon as next week.... wheee!!! So we begin packing in earnest now instead of just a few things here, a few things there. And, spoke w/the head landjerk just now (called to tell her I had gotten an email, someone wanting to purchase 170 NCR) and she says "We've changed our mind... we are not going to sell right now, we want to wait until they get the schools in and it goes commercial.". Umm... so, if you have decided not to sell right now, that menas you had decided to sell before, otherwise how can you have "changed your mind"? I mention that because, in her last correspondence, she says she never mentioned selling 170NCR to me. Ummm, yeah, right. The good news is, I keep all the back and forth BS (in writing) in a file. So, should she choose to go ahead with small claims court (in an effort to force me to pay rent Jan 1-July 31 2008), I will be prepar...

well... trying to get the lending end of the home deal tied up so we can close... if this can get done this week, they see us closing before Thanksgiving!!! I am so excited! Especially since the Bell's have been so unprofessional and are now bordering on unethical. I just want out of there and into my own place where people are not coming & going as they please, rummaging through my stuff...

At 3:28pm today, Logan Shaw passed away... he will be greatly missed by his human as well as his best friend, Maddie... When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and...

Nov 5th the landjerks came into our rental home without notice, left a note on MY scratch paper on MY art table... but a letter dated Nov 4th arrived in the mail Nov 6th stating that we violated our lease because we changed the locks and did not give them a key... ummm...then how did you get in the house on Monday? And, the lies continued in the letter... I counted 11 in this letter, including where she contradicts herself. And DON'T get me started on her grammar! At this point, I feel sorry for Tracy more than anything... Maybe she is desperate? She states I am in violation of lease because I have pets but did not pay a deposit... well, she knew about the pets before we ever signed original lease and did not add pet deposit to the lease. Nor did she add one to the renewal lease. They have gone from unprofessional to unethical. We have made several phone calls to her about maintenance issues and gotten no response. Now, that we are leaving, suddenly she responds IN WRITING t...
