This is how my tenant rolls

 

First of the month, nothing.  Days pass.  Nothing.  The 15th, bell rings, it’s her.  She’s got on her best smile and rattiest shirt.  A granddaughter sits on her hip, check in hand.  Rent's short, again. 
Can I give her a break?

My mortgage was due on the 5th.

That baby better work harder next month.


I'm prepping for the DNC and getting my tissues out to cry me a river for the entitled.

  6. It's so frustrating...Some take advantage of other's kindnesses, but I wonder if she could be experiencing financial problems...Sigh doesn't make it easy on those who pay the BIG BILL. So sorry things are rough. 

    My husband had a week of the RNC and almost no sleep :)... my advice...try to go to bed at a reasonable hour or you'll be zapped and walking around like a ghost.. (((Hugs to you)))

  13. I would not be cut out to be a landlord.  I like what Guy Clark had to say about landlords in his song LA Freeway.
