Huzzah! I found the rent cheques! I have decided to resolve my continuing issues with tenant deposits and bouncing cheques by doing the right thing and opening up a CIBC account, so that hopefully they can just arrange monthly transfers direct into my account (since they bank at CIBC also, the money transfer is immediate and I don’t have to wait and see if the cheque clears). I will do that on my lunchhour, at the CIBC branch just up the street, and I think it will take a load off my mind in terms of how my finances run.<\/p>\n
JVL was too sick to go into work today. He’s pretty pooped from lack of sleep and worries about work and such, and I wish there was more I could do for him, but at this point I think the best thing he can do is exactly this – take time for himself, and take care of himself. I hope he’s having a restful day at home. <\/p>\n
Tonight I’m supposed to go next door to the police station on Dundas and give my video testimony of an unfortunate incident that happened to me almost a month ago involving some scary guys hoping to get me in a van with them. I don’t want to discuss it, but I will be damn glad when all this fuss is over. I’m a huge proponent of the “say no, then go, then tell someone you trust” method of dealing with incidents of victimization, but at the same time it is a hell of a lot of work. This will be the fourth time I’ve had to deliver my statement to the police, including the initial phonecall, the visit from two uniformed officers a few days later, and the really weird drive into work from an officer driving an unmarked car, and frankly I’m sick of retelling my unpleasant tale. I want to not have to think of it again. <\/p>\n
Negotiations continue with the condo deal. The really good thing about all this nonsense is that I know for certain that most of my craziness will be resolved by the end of February, for better or for worse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Huzzah!
