Wednesday  started off as a good day. Woke up early, got to work early. After work had a mani and pedi done and was gonna spend the evening watching my reality shows. I get home and surprise, surprise I have a do not trespass sign on my door and my locks have been changed. It appears Im being evicted. But wait, thats not the end of it. As Im standing at my door trying to understand the what, why and how I hear my Oscar barking for me to rescue him.

Its almost 7pm by this point and the leasing office is closed. I call the number on the eviction notice and its to the leasing office, Im told to leave a message and someone will call me back during business hours.  Well thats not gonna work,  I call back again and press the option for maintenance, maybe they can help me. But wait they have the answering machine on and someone will "get back with me" I have to find someone to help me because I need to rescue my doggie.

I call yet again and press the leasing question option. I get the answering service who informs me they dont handle lock outs. I explain to him this is not a lock out, Im being evicted and my doggie is locked inside the apartment, not to mention my diabetic meds. I finally gain sympathy and they will page maintenance. When maintenance finally arrives he shows up with the Humane Society, and they want to verify who I am before they let me have my doggie.  Well once they open the door theres no doubt that Oscar is my baby. I get my doggie, my meds and he allows me to pack an overnight bag for myself and Sammy.

I make a few more phone calls and find a place to crash. Then yesterday, I went to the leasing office to find out what the deal was. Turns out my rent check last month bounced, so that made me 1 month back. I dont recall seeing any notice that there was a problem. Then when I paid the rent this month they didnt accept it because I was 1 month back and they only accept full not partial payments.

I run to the bank, get the certified check made out, when all is said and done it was $1725.06 . Of course with everything on my mind I make out the check for $1775.06  Turns out I have to pay a lock change fee and it is $50 so without knowing it I have all my bases covered.

Luckily for me I have it all taken care of and Oscar, Sammy and I have not joined the ranks of the homeless. Yet...
