So, I started writing an entry this morning but got caught up in other things going on, so, oh well.
The HAMP mortgage adjustment is apparently going through. I was congratulated earlier today in a generic email and asked for more information, lol. Oh, and sign a bunch of documents. I can say that I read every word of the documents I was signing, oh yes, I did. Nothing in there than what I already had learned about this program and fully expected, no shocks or surprises, I signed my life away, faxed it back to them, figure I will get more stuff as well. I am now on a 3 month trial period - again as the modification I did last year.
Tenancy issues. Always, always.
First and totally expected: the female tenant that is never here is moving out at the end of the month. I was happy to get the information 2 weeks plus before that date, not as the last guy, who handed me a money order and informed me he was moving out THAT DAY. She is actually paid up through this week. Amazing. I am going to start running ads for the room today.
The trailer tenants - have been gone all day long. Nothing new, they take off here and there. The news is that they have interviewed for running a small apartment complex. They made it through the first interview and have to go before the owners. This might be the break they were hoping for - a salary, an apartment with free utilities. They are using me as a reference and I am happy to recommend them. I hope they get the position. I hate to see them go, but living in that trailer ..........well, I'm sure it is a motivating factor to get a decent place to live and get life back in order.
I found a new doctor today. I didn't look long. It was based on location. Yesterday was a dermatologist, today was a general practice deal - the person you go to with your life - the physical aspect of it - and hope she/he can figure it out. I tell people I have skin cancer and they freak out. Maybe I should be far more alarmed than I am, but, I am not. They cut it out, you're done unless it's the type that can spread. Then, thet keep digging until it's ALL gone.
Earlier, I was outside cleaning out one of the pond filters. It's quite the job, actually. We're talking a large apparatus and it gets filled with fish crap and whatever else. Not really nasty, just takes a while. In fact, I wash out everything right over the top of plants - get that stuff into the ground, it's great fertilizer. The neighbor's dog crashed down the partition, came over to the fence and started barking at me. I said quite loudly: "Guess it's time to turn the music on". 10 seconds later, people were out there calling the dog and tell him - in Spanish - to shut up.
Thank you. I don't want to HAVE to turn on the music, just do the right thing and we won't have any more problems than we already have.
So now, I am potentially facing having the trailer tenants gone and all the stuff they do. Meaning a lot more work for me. I don't know that I want to find someone else to live in there, haven't decided that yet and they aren't gone yet. If they do leave, well, I dunno. Another great person or persons, sure, sleaze, slobs and filth, no thanks.
Today - has posed me enough to deal with, thank you. I'm not stressing, but it was enough. I don't want anymore, hope that's the end of it.
Good evening.

So begins yet another round of trying to find another tenant. On top of that, I remembered that the queen mattress that was in that room is now in another room, because that tenant wanted to use her own mattress in there. So, I am going to have to buy a queen mattress for that room now.
Gag.
Hope I can find a decent used one as a brand new one is out of the question. Okay, a surfactual glance under mattresses and I see a bunch of them on there, some of them in the price range I would be looking at and some of those are good mattresses.
Not big on used mattresses, but a new one is out of the question. You can buy those cheap, junk, uncomfortable mattresses, sure, but that's the point, they are junk. They don't last long and doesn't exactly nurture a good sleeping environment.
Whatever the case, I have a couple of weeks to get that done. I'm a bit nervous about losing the trailer tenants. If they get the job, I no longer have eyeballs watching over my place during the daytime while at work. They don't have the job yet and are competing with 2 other couples that also want the job, the owners apparently wanted management to come up with the 3 best couples and then the owners are going to meet with all 3 and make their decision. I DO hope they get the job, I just hate to see them go. It will be a HUGE standard of living increase in having their own place, free, plus $1,300 per month salary plus free utilities. That's hard to beat, especially for people that were homeless.
Not much else and my time is up.
G'day.

Best of luck find a replacment that is just as nice.
I hope everything works out. Being in the rental business means everything is always in a state of flux....
Thanks Pastor, I have like 2 weeks to get it filled, hopefully it won't be a big problem.
Yes, bobby, very true!
