Here’s a thought.

How about when you are planning to remove my entire front balcony, along with the stairs leading up to my front door, you give us a little heads up in advance.

1 ) We only have one key to the backdoor.

2 ) It’s on my keychain.

3 ) I’m leaving for Toronto for 4 days and had I already left, my children would have been locked out of the house ALL WEEKEND and the dog would have been locked in the house ALL WEEKEND. Do the math.

4) I get that you hate me and can’t possibly come to terms with the fact that while I was in the hospital or recovering at home, I didn’t have any money and was late on the rent THREE whole times but you’re taking me to court Thursday morning and I’m quite sure the judge will rule in your favour. Was tearing off the front porch without even as much as an hour warning really necessary?

5 ) Are you planning on replacing the porch anytime soon?

6 ) Was it absolutely necessary to throw my bistro table, chairs and park bench into the yard for somebody to steal?

7 ) Was it absolutely necessary to throw all the old lumber on top of my Lilies and Hostas?

8 ) I hope you find your way in life and discover how to act a little less slumlordy and to treat people decently instead of like a couple of spoiled kids who haven’t live a hard day in your lives.

9 ) More than that… I hope you rot in hell.

10 ) Before I move out, I’m going to go to the east end to hunt cockroaches so I can leave a few in the apartment when I leave.

Love Jen
P.S. If ever I make friends with a compassionate journalist in Montréal, you are SO going down.

When I opened the front door…



And from the outside…
