Things are starting to look kind of bleak. I still have not heard back from Gwen, which leads me to suspect that my Crazy Ex Landlady is so totally Crazy that she is opposed to having our differences resolved on the nationally televised forum of "Judge Mathis". I have to admit, the unplumbed depths of her insanity has taken me quite unawares: I never could have foreseen that any of my ex-landlords - a pack of nuts if there ever was one - would have been so far gone as to not want to be on a daytime court TV show, but apparently Isabelle is even loonier than I gave her credit for, and that's saying something! I would almost admire her, what with being so crazy, were I not so worried- what if when we go to Small Claims Court she should plead not guilty by reason of insanity? What can I say to dispute that? I'll be so sunk!

Our original court date was to have been tomorrow, but I got a continuance last Friday. Because of how I learned Thursday that my Mum is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. I can't be mucking about wasting my time in court or anything, not when I'll be needed to make awkward small talk in the hospital waiting room, hoping my Dad doesn't get too worried. Mum will be getting a mastectomy.

I-I don't know what to say.
