Beyond Exhausted

I am beyond exhausted...

Two days ago, I woke up with the worst cold. 

My throat felt like it was missing. 

I don't even know how that makes sense.

But, it hurt. 

I was refusing to talk, I picked up my roommate's sign language books to try to communicate.

I was texting people right next to me. 

I wasn't having a good time.

I took the day off to sleep and snuggle with my pup.

Yesterday, I woke up with the worst migraine on top of the cold.

Some candies I had eaten were made with wheat flower.. 

I found this out a bit too late, and my gluten induced migraine came full force.

At this point, walking was out of the question. 

Lifting my head would bring in dizzy spells and even blindness. 

I couldn't decide if throwing up was a good idea or not. 

I closed the blinds and slept most of the day away. 

I finally felt better to get some fresh air.

My roommate and I slowly walked to a near by store. 

While at the store, I received a call from our landlord.

The news I received on the phone made my heart drop so fast I had to lean against a shelf.

My roommate mouthed, "What?!"

I mouthed back, 

"We have to move."

I tried to regain my balance and a clear head, 

but the migraine and the cold were making things difficult.

Apparently, my house was leased to the city for only 3 years as a "singles" unit. 

The owner didn't let the management company know this, and yesterday was the last day.

Giving us very little options.

And very short notice.

I tried to fight it, we signed a year lease, 

we should be legally able to live in our beloved house for a year.

But, the management company said there was nothing they could do.
Though we signed a year contract,
the city is able to override that.

Since then,
 I've changed my attitude and I'm starting a search for pet friendly housing.
We don't know how long until the city evicts us.

But, I have faith we will find something.

We may not see it now,
but the universe is moving us right where we need to go.

So, I'm going to search for a new home with hope and faith.
And continue to take care of myself in this stressful time.

When life gives you lemons, make lemon and honey tea for your throat!
