guess i needed some more sleep....
it was less, this time. more of a nap, really, even, but i had to crash.
my landlord stopped to talk to me on the way home from getting soy milk yesterday, and he claims he's not going to file. he said he had a talk with his daughters, and they won't move in, after all. of course, the reality is that he was just angry about my tactics in getting him to do something about the sewers, and seems to have reflected that i had to do something because he wasn't paying attention. but, i also suspect that the underlying issue is persistent - i basically had to get on his ass because he's clinically lazy (or depressed.), and i think he's refusing to file for more or less the same reason. if anything, i seem to have pissed him off enough to become uncharacteristically assertive, and that initial reaction seems to have faded quickly.
of course, he also got my own suit, which i launched immediately. that appears to have also caught him off guard - but i warned him i was going to do it.
i can't immediately drop. he has several weeks to file still, and i need to ensure that he doesn't file the day i drop. in fact, i won't drop until the week of. but, if he doesn't file, and the issue remains largely resolved, i will cancel at the last minute, because i do not want to plan to move at this time.
he would like to revisit the issue in july. i hope that works out.
so, i came in, got something to eat, took a shower, and then it was 23:00. i decided to take a nap before i got to work, and it didn't really take - it took a while to doze off, and then i sat in suspended-awakeness for a while after stirring awake again after 3:00. i'm going to try to wake up because i'm feeling alert...but that was arguably not even really a sleep....
