Janine and Angel, you do wonders for me with such great "bedside manners". As you can tell, I feel like a 'rambunctious patient' already. Not even packed yet,
I was hoping that I could move into the smaller apartment when I got back, but there is no room for my dishwasher, freezer,washer, dryer, microwave,and stove.. and I'm not willing to give that up. I guess my ex, who is also my son-in-law's dad, does not think I need those little comforts. The place is in his building, but the apartment belongs to son-in-law and it would have been 150 Euro cheaper. My ex is probably laughing his butt off right now, he enjoys it when I get disappointed.
So, I cannot pay the rent this month, but he cannot throw me out, legalities in Germany are on my side for a change - which surprises me. It would probably take a year to get rid of me and I just might not live that long anyway, so he's SOL in that instance. The 'system' will actually make him look for a new place and help me move and I don't think he wants to bother with it. He likes me to stay around so that he can stress me out more. I got news for him, he cannot play his emotional games with me anymore because I have more important things on my mind and he does not even rate the upper 100 issues. I used to earn over 2500 Euro a month, and now only get 600, so it's a big fall down the 'social ladder', but others have to survive with less, and I darned well will do my best to manage. After all I did for him, he should have been paying me, and it tickles me at the thought that he will never find someone who will take care of him the way I did, in every way, without him having to pay for it in the future... LMAO...
As mentioned before, after this hospitalization, my past stroke, and new diagnosis, I might get more help from the 'welfare' beurocrats and right now that would suit me just fine. I paid my dues for this and my retirement fund for the last 30 years and now it's time for me to collect - if you know what I mean. I'm usually too proud to use such as welfare, but I paid, and that's better than most here in Germany who never worked, never paid their dues and abuse the system to no end.
So, my friends, I'm so glad I have all of you to comfort me in my time of need and appreciate it more than you'll ever know.
Going to take my laptop with me, not net, but I'll fill my notepad with lost of thoughts and play a few games while witing for the tests. I hate just sitting around doing nothing.. so at least I'll have something fun to do.
Talk to you when I get back.
Love,
Chery
