If you see it, send it home to me.

Writer’s block – it sucks.
I avoid my computer,
distracted by life.

I just want to laugh
and play with my son all day,
take pictures, and live.

But even when I
sit here to talk to you I
can’t turn it back on.

The screen is too bright,
the keys are too hard; I just
want to walk away.

I’m missing something.
A light-hearted happiness
once possessed is gone.

Most days are now filled
with more laughter than sorrow.
But still, I’m searching.

I can’t find my Muse.
Always there before, but it
is taking a break.

I think it’s hiding
from the sudden crying spells
that keep creeping in.

I’m sure it will come
home again in time. until
then, I will struggle.

Even now I think,
“This is crap. I should not post.”
But it’s late. I’m tired.

Hai-This Suc-ku’s

Once upon a time,
our gas bill was very high
and I wrote this post.

Called to complain to
the Property Management.
Something must be wrong!

Owner of this home
didn’t care to make it right.
“Let’s just ignore it!”

We wanted to move.
Instead we turned down the heat,
trying to save cash.

Latest water bill
clued us to the real problem.
And then the gas bill.

This time the gas bill
was a whopping three-fifty.
And from LESS HEATING!

Checked water heater.
OH MY LORD, it is leaking!
Both water and gas!

And, oh my, the mold!
It is being birthed right here,
then coming inside.

This mold in Braden’s
room is growing because of
leak in the heater.

Mold on all windows,
making us sick for a month…
now we know the “why.”

Inform the owner…
“Someone will be out sometime,
for an ESTIMATE.”

But we need help now!
Leaking! Dangerous! COME ON!
But they do not care.

Two days after that,
our hot water is all gone…
check water heater.

Both water and gas
spraying out of the unit.
This is REALLY BAD.

Call and tell the turds
“property being damaged.”
Here within an hour.

“It must be replaced,”
says the contractor who comes.
But then what happens?

They send another.
Owner did not like the first
estimate he got.

So still we’re waiting.
Now owner says “his man” will
fix the old heater.

But this is not good.
It is beyond fixing, and
this is dangerous.

And while we still wait?
We have no hot water here.
Wash dish? Take Bath? NO.

I bet that you can
smell me from where you are now.
I really stink. Yuck.

I look at this shot,
and I long for my shower.
It’s now but a dream.

Oh, yeah, and the mold?
Will cost a lot to clean up.
We doubt it gets done.

Can’t stay here like this!
Our health is compromised, and
that is not okay.

But lease runs through May.
Will they let us out of it?
What do you guys think? :-S

But look at this face.
We will do whatever it
takes to protect him.

We must get out now.
Things might get pretty ugly.
Please send us good vibes.
