Just wanted everyone to know that I found a place, and I am moving this weekend! I am NOT looking forward to the move, but I am so happy to get out of that house! I called the owner (former friend) of my current place, and it took her 2 days to return my call! So I told her I was moving at the end of the month, and she said that I was welcome to stay until the house sells and I told her that I felt it was in my best interest to leave now and that I had found a great place. She simply said "okay" and hung up! So the next day, she calls me at home in themiddle of the day while I am at work (of course) and tells me that I am breaking the lease and that I owe her some outrageous amount of money! Then she said that she would expect it on October 1. Well, she is NOT getting any money out of me. I called her back, of course, got her voice mail and told her what I thought! I then told her that she needs to call me so that we can talk person to person. Well, she must have gotten the message, since she called me back in a few hours. We talked for quite a while, and I told her that she needs to put herself in my shoes, and realize that I have NO CHOICE but to move. I told her that I had been trying to talk to her for over a month about my moving, but she would never return my calls except to call at home when she knew that I wouldn't be there. I reminded her several times that friends don't treat friends this way. I also told her that she couldn't tell me that, if she were made a full price offer on the house on the terms that the new buyers be able tomove in 2 weeks, she wouldn't accept that and give ME no more than 2 weeks notice. Well wonders never cease, and she said she understands my position. She never said that she would no longer expect the money, but that is okay. If she wants to sue me, she can take me to court. I have all of the phone messages she has left me saved on my phone. While I technically AM breaking the lease, I think that I have no choice since I have no idea when the house will sell.

She called me today to tell me that the realtor is showing the house tomorrow evening. She called me AT WORK! WOW! Maybe I got through to her. I told her there are boxes everywhere and they would still be there, but that I would do my best to make the house as presentable as possible. **I am trying to play nice, she just makes it so hard!**

So, if anyone is in the Fort Wayne Indiana area on Saturday and would like to help me move, come on over! You are more than welcome and we can use the help!

Thanks for everyone's support through this nightmare. I truly appreciate it.

By the way, my new place is great! Lots of windows for kitties to look at people, squirrels and birds! And I will be happy there also!
