I've been here for 2-1/2 years past the lease expiring. He never renewed it, never upped the rent. I kind of want to let sleeping dogs lie, you know?

The jiggly toilet handle I can handle, the floor furnace is an annoyance, but the electrical thing has me worried. I imagine one of these days I'm going to drive down the street and see the place in flames from wires shorting out.

I called T and said the meds seemed to be doing OK, except I'd had two irritable days but I thought it was circumstantial and I'd let him know next week if things seemed to keep going downhill.

Then the dentist called with a reminder 22 hours before an appointment I don't remember making back in August and said if I didn't cancel within 48 hours I'd be charged $40 for a short-notice cancellation. I snapped and said "I don't have $150 for an appointment right now. And what sense does it make to call 24 hours ahead of time to remind me, when I have to cancel no less than 48 hours ahead of time? Just charge me the frickin' $40." and hung up.

I called T back and left a voice mail "uh, yeah, you might want to call me back after all."
