Resilient

I received some bad news.

Our new landlord from our new house decided to sell the house.

Which means, we could move in for about a month but then we would just have to find a new place again.

He probably wasn't expecting my reaction. 

Most people don't.

I wouldn't say that I am rude.

But, I do have fire in me, and I get feisty.

When he told me the news, I asked if he was joking.

When I knew he was not, and that he had taken our deposit while knowing that he was going to sell the house, I got a little upset.

 I asked him how he could do this, knowing our story of eviction quite well.

I asked him how he could pressure us into giving him the deposit only to bail on us a day later.

I said, "Do you remember me telling you we were excited for you to be our landlord, since it seems management companies screw people over more... well I guess you do too. Cancel the check." 

Then I hung up. 

And now, 

I've moved on.

It's time to look for another place.

We have no idea when we will be evicted from our current place. 

I have no idea where we will go.

It's a bit of a fun feeling..

But, since I don't yet have my Gypsy Vardo, I can't take off anytime soon.

I'm in need of a little home.

So, the search continues.

And I will remain resilient.

I will remain optimistic.

 

Clearly the Universe has something even better for me than that basement apartment.

Clearly doors are closing so I can see the right open door.

This is okay.

I am okay.

Things will be okay. 

And I'm not sure what these photos have to do with anything, 

but I took them a while ago and I like them a lot.

I am and always will be the optimist, the hoper of far-flung hopes 

and the dreamer of improbable dreams.

Doctor Who always does cheer me up.
