I'm
home with a flue, and trying to help my system by drinking hot tea,
coco, soup, and sweating a lot, using up lots of tissues and so on, and
so on. What I could do most of the time is sleeping with my head and
eyes rather heavy and following gravity's law.
However in this
wonderful block house it's not always easy to achieve what one wishes to
do. Not even such a simple thing as sleeping or relaxing.
The gipsy couple upstairs who's been renting the place for about 3
years now and have successfully managed to leak our bathroom ceiling for
at least 30 times always on the same side above the bathtub, last time a
couple of weeks ago, this morning have accomplished their tantric
mission and leaked our kitchen ceiling in addition.
I guess it all
has to do with cosmic balance and probably some broken pipes they and
the owner - whom we've tried to reach absolutely in vain, or when we
could speak with him he refused to help anyhow - don't give a damn
about.
The case has already been taken to the court as even the
repainted ceiling could not handle the water coming down again and
again, and now as they say, only the holy spirit holds it there. So
after a few years desperate hoping that the upstairs would get the fuck
out of there and some reasonably civilized folks would move in instead,
we'd tried to reach some more manifestable results. But hey what the
heck, even with all the insurance company papers, photos and the
caretaker as witness, the holy court could come up with a wonderful
decision as a solution and obliged the upstairs to paint our bathroom.
Since they were able to show up a piece of paper that said the pipe had
been fixed by a proper plumber.
Now, now, maybe it was only the
materials this professional, this true expert used that were not
resistant enough to time's iron teeth or only the bitch - as we used to
refer to her since she hit my Mom on the face when she asked her to hold
her kid back a bit so we don't need to listen to his elephant herd-like
gallopping for hours - maybe only she forgets to stop the water or put
the washing machine duct (which in many places is still not fed back
into the wall as easiest solution) into the sink or the tub, but simply
let it loose on the floor if she feels like that...
But this new
achievement of theirs was revolutionary and reached its goal if they
wanted to be called by the owner. Because that's how it happened, we
called the caretaker who came up looked at the leakings, even she went
mad about it, followed my Mom to the office of the house representative -
to witness the statement was true - who then called the owner who then
called the gentle folks upstairs, who in turn went over to the office
and on their way back called our buzzer to ask what the problem was...
It's too bad I only have a dreamcatcher above my bed, not a
fuckercatcher
Unfortunately now if we don't want to get both our kitchen and bathroom
ceilings get leaked regularly, have no other choice as to go to court
again, specially as the insurance company might not pay after a while
for all the damages in case they're re-occuring and we who suffer them
don't seem to try to find a solution to stop them. Hah! what a sense of
justice once again!
Additionally we were advised to go to the
mayor's office to report them/this whatever, and maybe even call the tax
authority to find out if the owner pays tax after his income from the
upstairs couple whom he rents out the place to. We've been through this
once, and I can tell you with this effort we can go to the church and
lit a candle - btw who's the patron of broken water pipes? - or simply
hold a seance and summon Poseidon whatsoever.
Have a holistic weekend. Amen.
P.S. Hmm
this all started when I watched that Soviet movie Stalker again where
you can always hear and very often see the water dropping... Shall I
work as a medium at seances?
