Our tenant from h*ll situation is (maybe) finally coming to a close, Full Eviction Rulling in our Favor today. After months of unbelievable scenarios. I was last here on July 6th... let me tell you how the rest of July and August went.
July 7th the tenants moved out and shut off all utilities, sewer reverted to our name. Ok, so we think they are going to let us have our property back. Wrong. We file abandonment and try to retake the house at the end of July after no reply and the squator male shows up (another neighbor must have called) claiming they are still living there, even though a neighbor tells us they haven't been there for weeks, they had to take their abandoned dog into the humane society AND the property was declared a public health nuisance by the county because of how they trashed it (literally trash in the yard, not mowed, cars in the yard with no license). We had to call a deputy out because he was threatening my husband and the deputy offered to be at the court hearing if there was one because he thought the whole situation was ridiculous after we showed him the health notices, lease was up and that the utilities had reverted to our name. Since they were still claiming to live there we weren't allowed to go do any cleaning on it about the public health notice- just pay the fines. So instead of letting us have the house back that they weren't living in and hadn't paid rent on since May and the lease was up on July 1st they took it all the way past hearing to court. Which was today. They even took a lease in to the judge they claimed was the original lease, which according to our attorney looked like they had obviously whited out the copy we gave them and then recopied it. What were they hoping to get out of this? God only knows (I'm honestly not sure the squators even know what they were hoping to get). So after destroying our water heater (remember waited weeks to tell us it was acting up til the unit blew out so we had to replace instead of fix) and lying about the fridge (so we bought a brand new one- we also found out they had been packing the fridge oddly so it didn't close completely when the repair guy would go out to look at it, they just didn't think he would notice or something?). From looking around the property besides the yard work issues it looks like someone kicked in part of the back privacy fence, they claimed they put in new counters (which really makes me mad, we put in nice white counters last summer and the new ones are supposedly green and black faux marble). They also claimed they installed a new ac unit out back. They have 10 days to move before can contact the Sheriff's office to forcibly move them. They aren't actually there anymore but I'm sure if we show up without the sheriff they are going to call foul- so I don't know exactly when we are getting the house back yet. It's been an insane financial burden.
I haven't been here for more then a month. I did manage to loose 4lbs in that time but to be honest not because I was doing anything. Way to stressed financially and about my youngest's health.
The growth in our youngest's brain is still there- which more or less rules out the most common form of cyst (best case scenario) while leaving a couple other forms of cysts, cancer and pre-cancer. He is still the size of an older one year old (he's four now). So we've put off growth hormone therapy as long as possible and will be starting it as soon as it goes through insurance. Then we have MRI again and see if the growth has changed. If it is one type of cyst (our new best case scenario) it will go unchanged from here out. If it is another type of cyst, cancer or pre-cancer the growth hormone therapy will probably cause it to start growing (which because of location in his brain even if it's a cyst instead cancer will be dangerous to him) and we have to move on from there.
I do not know when I'll be back in force on FS. I promise I will be back- right now it's just a little too much stress to add the stress of dieting in as well. I really hope everyone else is doing very well.

Bought sz6 thrift jeans, tight but button/zip. With finances been taking in my skirts & shorts by hand. Jeans are harder (insert take forever). Part of me is like, "wow, look how much I've lost, look how many inches I'm taking off this." Or, "Hey, I can zip up size 6 jeans!" Then I see pictures of my overweight 5'3" sz8 next to my 5'10" sister in law and it brings me back to earth a bit =p. Progress though =)
I took the bike resistance up to 7. I started biking on the first resistance late february and found as long as my heart rate is below 125 my lungs behave, mostly. I raise the resistance whenever my heart rate starts to stay too close to 110 (increasing speed isn't an option to raise heart rate, found that out the hard way). That's been increasing a little more often then once a month (ie started 1st late feb but increased to 6th this week. The highest resistance setting is 16, so I thought it might be neat to try and cap that out by around new years. Which requires increasing resistance twice a month. Of course I'm me so thought, "what about trying 7th now?"
I'm about 35 minutes in and my heart rate is at 145... which is probably a little elevated because I've taken my inhalor several times o.0 So that's fun, but so far I'm not doing awful with it. I mean, my lungs definitly hate me for this, but they haven't moved to homocide yet so we're good. May toggle between the two settings every other day or something, then do the same hereafter as I go up in speeds. I hope to be at maintenance by my bday (feb 5th) so it would be nice to have the resistance maxed out that last month in January and move into maintenance both on the bike and weight at the same time =)
Anywho, happy Sunday everyone, how are you all doing?

First I wanted to thank everyone here who's lent an ear, advice or support while we've been bumbling our way through this tenant disaster. You honestly have no idea how unbelievably helpful it has been to have a safe place to journal and get that help. I am not a negative person by nature but this situation has been really hard for me to handle. I think I've finally been able to put my finger on why, and hopefully that means I can put those difficulties behind me and just move forward- whatever moving forward is going to mean as this settles out (aka, hopefully no more droning on and on in my journals, lol).
I think what happened is that I had my faith in fellow man pretty abruptly pulled out from under me & it messed with my whole outlook. It's one thing for stuff that is out of anyone's control- medical, accidents, whatever. I'm pretty good at staying upbeat or at the very least looking towards the light at the end of the tunnel while rolling with life's punches. My oldest stopped breathing the first time at 6mos, lungs collapsed at 3yrs, autism. We are currently deciding whether the risk of what is possibly cancer in my youngest's brain outweighs developementally necessary hormone therapy. Not even touching on my own health or abusive childhood. Besides the occassional, 'why me/us' anyone's prone to we handle it with love & faith. I've spent my adult life surrounding myself with love, trust & happiness. For the punch to come from who we thought was a good person? It's been hard not to feel bitter. As I've said befor I am prone to giving the benefit of the doubt too much, it's an inate part of my character, but because of my childhood I also am very careful about who I give the benefit of the doubt of to begin with. I think this betrayal (dramatic word but apt) took a bite out of my sense of trust in those around me and close to me. Which is why it's been hard to deal with. I built up a trust in others after a negligent & abusive upbringing- this shattered some of that.
Now that I get that I can hopefully stop letting it drag my whole view down and get back to being me. Sorry for the double post today, but as you guys already know I like putting things into words to figure them out. Again I appreciate the support here and hopefully can get back to being more supportive myself again!

Hope all the USA buddies had a good fourth. Ours was nicd. Hubby had to work at 6am so opted for smores and hotdogs over the firepit with some kid friendly stuff and watching what neighbors set off. Been biking an hour on the 6th resistance setting this last week. Hard to believe how easy the first setting feels now when I could get so worn out on it 6 months ago. Thinking about changing to increasing resistance twice a month and maxing it out by the end of the year. Might be fun to see if I can.
Financially we are struggling between medical, attoney fees and what these squatters have and are stealing from us. I don't get it. Steal $2k from a store? Garnishment &/or Jail. Landlord? Ignore the court serve & you're scot free. I've worked things out mostly but it's meant cutting back. Among other things took Groceries from $75/week for our family of 4 to $50. Rough when our oldest has been hospitalized w/ lungs collapsing as a wheat allergy reaction. Allergy free food is epensive & we already use all the tips & tricks for saving. Another reason I'm miffed on the 1lb weight gain this week; as, hubby and I both have been eating sparingly. We did get lucky and found 12 boxes of cocoa GF cereal for $1 each at Big Lots. Will really help. Anyways, July & August will be tight- but should be ok. It's Sept I'm worried about financially.
Speaking about Sept- we start school the first Monday in Sept, the 1st this year. Finances made buying curriculum worrisome but we've earned lots of co-op points from referrals & purchases the last 2yrs. Redeemable for specific products w/ shipping & co-op fee. The Bright Ideas line is included in the points program. So I used almost all the points we had saved (85k) and spent $19 after shipping & the co-op fee for around $700 worth of curriculum. Feeling grateful for that!
Happy weekend everyone!

Not really sure why up the pound, but honestly not on my priority list of worries atm. Going to keep eating reasonably and I'm sure it'll come back off by next week. We spent the weekend with my husban's family, which was a nice break from reality. Now back to the real world.
Squatters were still there yesterday. Original process return is set for next friday. If they contest it might take longer to get them out, but we have a chance at getting the money they owe us. If they don't contest they have til July 20th to do so. If they don't by then they have til July 30th to appeal the default judgement in our favor, if they don't do that we can have the sherrifs evict them after July 30th. I'd like to see them out by August so we can move on... I'd also like to see some of our money back so that the financial stress from this is eased- so I'm fairly torn on which situation I'd prefer, at this point I'm ok with either I guess. We paid the amount per the bank foreberance on the house so are ok as possible financially as long as everything clears up by Sept. We are totally tapped out and then some though so *knock on wood* nothing else comes up.
The boys had their endocrinologist apt. The oldest is doing fine. He's in the 5th percentile for his age- however his bone age is considerably younger then his chronological age and he is right at 50% for his bone age. That's good, means the shots are working. The youngest is more then 2 years behind his chronological age now. The doctor ordered another mri for July 24th and as long as the growth on his pituitary is still unchanged his doctor is heavily suggesting starting groth therapy asap. It's only a few months sooner then the suggested year wait after finding the abnormal growth- as long as we continue to image the growth to make sure it isn't changing post hormone shots it should be ok. Not really a perfect choice here, but this is probably the better option. His heoght is interferring with development so we need to get that back in a reasonable range if we can. We know the growth is unrelated to the disorder as his brother doesn't have it. We'll see what the mri shows on the 24th and move on from there.
So yeah, a pound up is nowhere near those stresses, not even on my radar atm to be honest. I'm biking as I type, will keep eating reasonably and know that will drop back off.
Hope everyone else is having a goid July and the USA buddies on here enjoy your 4th tomorrow!
