1.4 blood alcohol and GHB

[Miles Archer]

37. My girlfriend. Her son moved in, with his girlfriend, her 4-year old, and a their dog

They are supposed to kick in $100 a week to cover the cost of their being here, plus 1/2 the electric bill.

We got stiffed this past Sunday because the girlfriend said she had to use the money to bail him out of jail.

I am going to pay the electric bill today...$352...over double of what it would be for us at this time of year...because they haven't kicked in their half, and no matter how much it pisses me off, if I don't, the power gets turned off on Tuesday.

On Sunday, they will owe us another $100, grand total 100 + 176 + 100, or $376.

I called the Magistrate's office yesterday. I had due cause to go down yesterday and file a notice to quit, which means I would have also had cause to return on Tuesday to file an eviction notice.

My girlfriend wouldn't allow it. It's her house. She would have to file the paperwork. She'd throw me out before she'd do that.

My car has been inoperable since October of last year. I need a new (or rebuilt) transmission. All of my money has gone into supporting this household. With no car and no money I am not in a position to leave, or I would have already done that. That's why I now have to make it a matter of life and death (or, more accurately, my physical and mental health) to sell like a demon, get better clients, fix my car, get the money I need for first month's / last month's / security deposits, and leave. It's not going to happen in a week, but it means that I need to go out and fight for it, and I am doing exactly that.
