To my landlord, who was unreachable for three nights while Izzy and I lived with an actual, smellable gas leak from the pipes in the garage next to my illegal in-law apartment. This is currently the tenth consecutive day, slowly sliding into the eleventh, that I have been without gas or hot water, and apparently PG&E hasn't called him back, or the plumber hasn't called him back, or the other plumber can't make it on a particular day, or yet another plumber with the special equipment couldn't finish the job in a day, and my call to the landlord earlier this evening was unanswered...
Add to this the fact that he is selling the building, and I have had to suffer the indignity of four open home showings, and random strangers wandering in from the street walking through my living room while Izzy tries to watch TV. The worst was the other night, when a family of like, eight, were tramping through my bedroom at 8:30 at night while I was trying to grade.
I am a little worried about the fact that the upstairs unit is vacant and the other upper unit will be vacant in 30 days, which will mean that I'll be the only tenant left in the entire house. I do know how owner move-in evictions work in San Francisco, but I do not have the money or time or energy to move right now (which I'm sure he would like, since it's easier to sell the place empty).
oh lord, sunny. i'm so sorry! that's awful.

clearly this is not your year. but i hope things will start to work out again eventually.
