Feels a bit like being trapped in the cycle … vortex, perhaps? … of debt, repayment, debt, repayment, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.
OK, so the Elder needed work done on the house … had plenty of cash / wait. Back up.
The Familial DOs currently living in the home of Elder mentioned a few issues with the place …
(slight disgress: when first moved in, hot water heater went out … FDOs said nothing for months,
just took cold showers/baths … on a visit/inspection asked the deal … response? Did not want
to bother, just happy to get out of apartment&into a house [sigh – fixed that] … anyhoo …)
… so wanted to take care of the issues, make sure FDOs have a comfortstable (yahino but should be) place to live. Reached out to a few handyfolks, got infected with/by the face-tatted monkey poo-flinger … aaaannnnddd – here we be.
So the kaleidoscope calliope carousel full of debt monkeys in my personal credit circus spun quickly and hard … HOWEVER, prior to that, was doing pretty good, methoughts.
Not so much anymore [treble-sigh, hard nasal exhale] and has gotten downright ugly.
Lost the happy place.
So, feeling a bit … put-upon, as it t’were … ‘coz shouldacouldawoulda judged the face-tats by the cover, but believe (naively, p’raps?) folks make mistakes, deserve second/third/fourth chances … something about 70×7. {Matthew 18:21-22}
However. In spite of. Irregardless (yahino but should be).
The work done – even if on scammy/scummy basis – FDOs say is solid, house is quieter.
Even with the holes in the ceiling. (Quadsigh.)
And always always ALWAYS remember that everything … absolutely everything … happens for a reason.
Even if must extend the stay in the ring of debt for a bit longer, won’t be able to climb out bottom of well and through the TV to eat the face-tatted monkey poo-flinger’s face.
The latest? Face-tatted monkey poo-flinger says back at it by the 17th to finish the job.
Like Thomas … gonna believe it when see it.
