FitOKay's Journal, 18 August 2014

Our tenant from h*ll situation is (maybe) finally coming to a close, Full Eviction Rulling in our Favor today. After months of unbelievable scenarios. I was last here on July 6th... let me tell you how the rest of July and August went.

July 7th the tenants moved out and shut off all utilities, sewer reverted to our name. Ok, so we think they are going to let us have our property back. Wrong. We file abandonment and try to retake the house at the end of July after no reply and the squator male shows up (another neighbor must have called) claiming they are still living there, even though a neighbor tells us they haven't been there for weeks, they had to take their abandoned dog into the humane society AND the property was declared a public health nuisance by the county because of how they trashed it (literally trash in the yard, not mowed, cars in the yard with no license). We had to call a deputy out because he was threatening my husband and the deputy offered to be at the court hearing if there was one because he thought the whole situation was ridiculous after we showed him the health notices, lease was up and that the utilities had reverted to our name. Since they were still claiming to live there we weren't allowed to go do any cleaning on it about the public health notice- just pay the fines. So instead of letting us have the house back that they weren't living in and hadn't paid rent on since May and the lease was up on July 1st they took it all the way past hearing to court. Which was today. They even took a lease in to the judge they claimed was the original lease, which according to our attorney looked like they had obviously whited out the copy we gave them and then recopied it. What were they hoping to get out of this? God only knows (I'm honestly not sure the squators even know what they were hoping to get). So after destroying our water heater (remember waited weeks to tell us it was acting up til the unit blew out so we had to replace instead of fix) and lying about the fridge (so we bought a brand new one- we also found out they had been packing the fridge oddly so it didn't close completely when the repair guy would go out to look at it, they just didn't think he would notice or something?). From looking around the property besides the yard work issues it looks like someone kicked in part of the back privacy fence, they claimed they put in new counters (which really makes me mad, we put in nice white counters last summer and the new ones are supposedly green and black faux marble). They also claimed they installed a new ac unit out back. They have 10 days to move before can contact the Sheriff's office to forcibly move them. They aren't actually there anymore but I'm sure if we show up without the sheriff they are going to call foul- so I don't know exactly when we are getting the house back yet. It's been an insane financial burden.

I haven't been here for more then a month. I did manage to loose 4lbs in that time but to be honest not because I was doing anything. Way to stressed financially and about my youngest's health.

The growth in our youngest's brain is still there- which more or less rules out the most common form of cyst (best case scenario) while leaving a couple other forms of cysts, cancer and pre-cancer. He is still the size of an older one year old (he's four now). So we've put off growth hormone therapy as long as possible and will be starting it as soon as it goes through insurance. Then we have MRI again and see if the growth has changed. If it is one type of cyst (our new best case scenario) it will go unchanged from here out. If it is another type of cyst, cancer or pre-cancer the growth hormone therapy will probably cause it to start growing (which because of location in his brain even if it's a cyst instead cancer will be dangerous to him) and we have to move on from there.

I do not know when I'll be back in force on FS. I promise I will be back- right now it's just a little too much stress to add the stress of dieting in as well. I really hope everyone else is doing very well.

144.0 lb Lost so far: 30.0 lb.    Still to go: 25.0 lb.    Diet followed poorly.
