The last couple of days has not been easy. I find as I get older, I am less able to deal with conflict and I find that I am faced with it a lot with my current landlord.
Despite the fact that I have no legal obligations to allow people into the house to view it, I agreed provided that I was available and the people were on time. On Saturday night at 1752, I get a text from my landlady that there is someone outside of my gate. She orders me to let them in. I refuse. No notice, it is getting dark, and I am alone in the house.
I won't go into all the details, suffice to say that I had a huge confrontation with her husband on the phone yesterday. I am ashamed to say that at one point I told him to shut up as I couldn't get a word in edgewise. At that point, he lost it and started screaming at me so that I hung up the phone.
The upshot of all this is that I started having chest pains and stiffness in my jaw, all of which are apparently signs of a heart attack.
The good news is that after I had the big blow out with the husband, I instantly felt physically better. I guess it is good to vent.
I am off to the new place today. I will try to move stuff in there as soon as I can so that I can move out of this house asap. If I am not here, I can't let people in. I will also have to find someone to be with me on the day of the hand over as clearly the husband can't hold his temper and I don't trust them to return my deposit money.
What a drag.
