OMG I'm going to be thrown into the street!

I'm still shell-shocked over what the judge did from scheduling the hearing at all ignoring the law right through to the judgment. He ran completely roughshod over me. Figures that's he's a Republican.

Right before the hearing all four tires on my car inexplicably started losing air. One of them went completely flat and I thought I just had the bad luck to run over a nail. Got that fixed in the middle of all this hearing crap by my saintly mechanic I've known since I was a kid who told me there was something wrong with the air valves on all four tires and they were all losing air. Lovely. He'll be fixing them for me for free and he's unsure about sabotage. With this psycho landlord that's been harassing me since less than an hour after the hearing it wouldn't surprise me if she did something to my tires or had someone do it. I have to keep watching them and filling them with air when they get low. I was hoping tomorrow I can finally get it in to get fixed but now I don't know. As long as I don't go far they should be ok until then.

The police have been great (I'm blessed with a fabulous police department). Because Yoshi loves to go to the police station since it's also a park I already know a lot of them. She's royally pissed at me that now the township is forcing her to fix the things she's neglected for so long and I now have a shiny new lovely pvc sewage pipe in the basement. It was the plumber who first called me to warn me that she was trying to lie to people like him that she'd gotten permission from me to come into the house for something the get fixed when he knew she hadn't though he's stuck since of course he wants to do the work and have her pay him. We've agreed to keep anything about her on the down-low and he'll call me any time she says that she has permission from me to come in.

I was already thinking about pizza delivery, etc. though my car is anything but reliable. It used to be my aunt's who gave it to me when she bought a new car. Though it has really low mileage it's a heap of rust underneath like most cars from the New England area. In hindsight I would have been better off with the car I had at the time. Lesson learned.

I got some advice from the guy that runs the bartending school that said this time of year the temp agencies are going nuts to fill "catering" bartending positions which is probably my best bet. They're one shift jobs for a wedding or some other kind of banquet or special event but the pay is really good. I'd need a tuxedo outfit but he said they can tell me what I'd need and where to buy it cheap. There's tons of these agencies but because of my iffy car I'm really nervous about going into the city for any though I'll probably have to in order to get enough work. Of course it means signing up with a few agencies and getting ready to run out the door for a job at the last minute every day, but I'm too desperate for work to care. I was hoping to finally be able to do that tomorrow but with everything else I just don't have the time... right now I'm scrambling to keep from being thrown out on the street because of this shitheaded judge. I just found out today what the hell his judgment meant and how much time I had to either appeal or pay that evil beast of a slumlord.

God, I really need to take a shower (the first one in nearly a week! eeeewww!) and get some sleep. I can't even remember anymore the last time I slept. Though I've not eaten a thing in two days I don't want to try that again since last night I spent most of the night in the bathroom turning myself nearly inside out. Fun times. Ugh.

Though it's raining Yoshi wants his walk so I better do that first.

Thank you a million times, and I really wish you weren't so far away!
