hello world.....Divvy Homes

 Hello world....

Update:

08/18/2023

At this point, Divvy Homes have sent the HVAC vendor back to update the AC systems by adding a sensor so that the upstairs was properly ventilated.  So basically because they didn't do the proper inspections, they didn't realize that the AC system was not setup correctly for two-story property.  in my Khaled voice (AND ANOTHER ONE).  They refunded me for the air purifiers by applying the amount to my rent BUT i need to be refunded for all of the extra money that I've had to pay by going to specialists.  I now have a new bronchial issue too?  oh yeah, i'm trying to figure out what attorney to contact.  It's going to happen.  I'ma need to get my whole life back together, i will not forever have to take theraflu and eat cough drops and take puffs of albuteral to survive outside and not cough my damn food up.  Tha FUK????

my face looks back to normal but my hair literally started falling out even more....it's not over.

Divvy Homes is so wrong for this. I now have a crazy breathing issue. My throat is always tight, my breathing is always labored and my voice is still not right. I can't do anything without going into a whole breathing attack.  I've NEVER had breathing issues...so whatever this crap is that I inhaled at 122 Hudson bridge court has fukkd me up!!! I gotta make sure I let the allergist know at my follow-up appointment.  This is nuts but they want my $1800 every month though!! I damn near died in that townhouse.  They still need to send someone to clear the AC Vents. I'm so mad right now....every time I take a labored breath I'm mad!  I need to get an attorney to handle everything quick!

Ok... gotta go "make the donuts".

============================================

4/17/2023 update:

So I was feeling crazy this past week, face still swollen, light headed, coughing, barely breathing.  I finally took myself to the Urgent Care on Thursday.  The doctor did a chest x-ray and put me on a regiment of steroids and a few other allergy deterrent.  I'm currently on day 4 of the steroids and the side effects are crazy.  I go from sleepy to hyper.  I'm definitely feeling better, the swelling is pretty much gone.

The air quality tech came to test this past Friday.  I should get results by this Tuesday (4.18.23) at the latest.  I pray we get answers because i can't go through the swelling again and I can't live off of steroids.

========================================================================

I got the lab results back today!  There is mold present in this home as I have been saying.  I have just forwarded the results as well as invoices to have my rent adjusted less the additional monies that I have had to pay to troubleshoot the issues in here.  My health has been affected!  Thank goodness I do not have to go into the office otherwise, I would be SOL.  I'm now waiting for a response from Divvy Homes.  Next up is the legal path if common sense doesn't prevail.

=========================================================================

I think Divvy Homes is trying to take me out of here.  If you've followed me, you know from Nov 2022, the landlord of my previous home decided to do something else with the property and I was forced to move.  I decided to buy a home but my credit status veered me to the path of lease to own.  My realtor connected me with Divvy Homes which is a company that assists with buying a property OR they already own a property ready to move in.  

The way that everything happened with me, I ended up buying a property they already owned.  Upon seeing the home with my realtor, everything looked above board.  Their process of due diligence they test for EVERYthing.  I moved into this new spot the first week of Feb 2023 and by the 2nd week, i noticed my face being swollen in the mornings.   I have asked them to do a mold test to clean my air ducts and they threw all of that back on me.  Saying I am responsible for that.  I've now paid for a mold test and now I've purchased two air purifiers.  I'm visiting doctors to get tests run to figure out what my body is going through, my fair, my hands, my legs.  Now I'm dealing with dizziness, with headaches.  It's a shame.  I just wanna be in my own space and relax but now I went from having to stressfully move from a place to a place that is making me ill.

I'm going to see about getting the air ducts cleaned and then the next step is an attorney.  I am possibly breathing in black mold everyday/every night and Divvy Homes doesn't give not one good damn.

stay tuned for more...

Hello world....another run around the sun... #AriesNation

 Hello World....

I've got a new age!  I'm now 51!  Aries nation and all of that however...This year is a little different though.  If you know me, you know I roll with TLA tough!  ONe of the ladies that was close with, that encouraged me passed away on her birthday!  My friend Sonta - 3/17/72 to 3/17/23 - she'd just turned 51, we are 4 days apart.

I've only lost one other friend and it's been awhile but this one hit me hard.  So this birthday was dampened in spirit. I did have a party at a karaoke spot and planned on my house warming this past Saturday but cancelled it due to my friend's funeral service.

I will say this...take care of your health folks....age ain't nothing but a number...and you can ben here today and gone tomorrow.  Take care of yourself.

C'est la vie....

Hello World....The post-move crisis/other side of through

 Hello World!

My last post spoke of the move and showed the damage to my car.  I spoke wanting to get on the other side of through.  Well, I was on my way to the new house, I ended up in Stockbridge.  I would've never thought to move this far south.  I do like the new place and the area BUT about a week after moving here i noticed some health issues.  the first thought "MOLD"... O_O tha fuk??? i'm doing my medical due diligence as well as making sure I can take remedy steps in the house to fix it.  I went from being 100% to WTF waking up with swollen face, hands, stiff knees.  I'm in talks with my current "landlord" as well.  We gone fix this shit immediately!!

I'm working on it.....OH BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!

it's good news no worries.....I GOT A MAAAAAN y'all.....LOL....long story short:

I'm at the old spot, working on something in my office area, i get a phone call, he's still saved in my phone so I answered it friendly-like.  we have a real cool convo about this movie he's watching and the woman's eyes reminded him of me. He asks what i've been up to and I tell him everything, not because I'm looking for help but because as previously posted, I was tired y'all. (see 1/26 post)  Fast forward, he ends up assisting big time in my move in the old spot and new spot.  So we've decided to give it a new try, 10 years later.  we're both different folks with different lives/personalities.  I'm excited. ;-).

I've been meaning to update everything but I keep forgetting to put my laptop in a convenient spot.  I'll do better with updating.

Oh yes 1 more thing!  I have a podcast now with my 3rd coast friend (Kwana King) called "The Ladies Den" - We stream live every Thursday at 7p EST.  You can follow on YouTube and Facebook.

That's about it for now.  Life ain't bad these days....I'm getting some stuff fixed pronto!

See you soon!

On the other side of through....

 Hello World....

With all of the craziness going on, I just want to get to the "other side of through".  I'm 90% sure that I have a new place to live.  It's a lot of money going out with the move and then my car but I think I'm almost to the other side of this...I can feel it happening.

I'll just thank the ancestors right now and continue working/packing.

Peace and love...love and peace...I'm out!

Hello World....It's a new year....2023

 Hello World!

Who knew that the next time I would journal would be a whole year later!  Wow!  I've had aLOT going on in 2022.  The job is ok, I will say that.  On a personal level:

My health is still "ok".  No more reproductive issues, the procedure that I had in January took care of that. I am in menopause tho and that's not fun at all.  Especially trying to sleep at night and sometimes when moving around during the day.  I do still have the hyperthyroid issue, it's making my hair thin out.....like REALLY thin out.  It's crazy when I look back at pictures to see who much it's currently thinned out.  Presently, I wear more wigs to cover versus any braids or pony tail/puff ball attachments.  I have used several hair growth products and at first they seemed to be working but I don't think so.  There is this one process that I had looked into that measure the hormones or something. I stopped the process but I'd like to look into it again.  It may open up some doors.

Secondly, our townhome building got sold and the new owner originally said he wouldn't do anything for the year, then November 2022 he gave all of the residents a notice to vacate.  All of us had been here for YEARS so giving us 60 days to 1. pack all of our belongings 2. Find somewhere to live.  That's not a fair thing to do.  Now he did say that he would give us the month of January if needed, we'd have to pay rent BUT we'd have that extra time.  So I said to myself "self, we are going to buy a house." here's the kicker, I was planning to buy one later, like start June 2023 but it got pushed up waaay early.  So I'd already contacted my realtor friend who has a brokerage and she immediately put me in contact with her team.  So I contacted her once we got the notice to vacate and we started into action.  My credit score was NOT where I wanted it to be to handle THIS, so I had to do some quick tricks to get it to a certain point.  I ended up going through this lease to own program.  I'd heard about them but hadn't REALLY looked into it.  I teamed up with my realtor team and we looked for houses.  Mostly doing online searches and picking the ones that fit my budget and the qualifications of the program.  I finally found one and just recently put an offer in and TODAY 1.4.23 it was accepted.  Now the next steps are for the company (Divvy Homes) to do all of their due diligence and with every box checked, I will close on 1.20.23.  It will be a move to a different county, a little further south but not too far from the office AND it's about the same distance to the airport, maybe 5 minutes more.

I am excited!  I will be a first time home owner! At 50....a 1st time home buyer.  To be honest, I didn't WANT to buy a house until now.  This time around because of the way that this building got bought I said that I NEVER want to be put into this situation again where I was at the mercy of another individual to tell me to get out.  So I said this time, I'm buying....and I am.

I celebrate in advance!  I thank the Universe in advance!  I'd already reached out to my interior design friends to be on the lookout for me.  Lord, now I have to order more curtains. Geesh!  I'm going to wait until we get closer to closing to make any major moves.  Thank you Jesus!

I'll actually come back and do an update.  Lemme get my housewarming list together on Amazon. :-D

that is it for now...

Thank you for reading.

Lookie lookie who's 50....

 Hello World!!

Wow it has been a minute!  Since my last post I have finally started my zydeco festival in Atlanta.  It happened March 23rd at Kat's Cafe

Yep.  I finally did it.  Finally started the event like I always wanted.  First one down, 2nd one coming up.  The first one was a bit rough but I am getting a planning committee together for 2023.  I still need to get all of the name stuff on record and next year I want a different location, a live band and some horses.  And this year I will have a DJ who knows what a zydeco festival  is.  This year I chose the RMT Cancer Network as the non-profit to give to, next year it'll be a different organization.

Hello World - My body is slowing breaking down...

 Hello World:

So...i was born with pain.  The doctor delivered me with forceps and fucked up my spine and right hip.  My growing pains were excruciating and for a long time my right hip could pop out at any given time.  It was not pretty.

Fast forward - in my early 20s while in the USAF, I develop RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) quickly and soon have to leave the job that I had planned to be a career.

Dealt with the pain throughout my life, realized environment and stress were my triggers so I moved away to a less humid place.  And the RA flare ups stopped.  Love it.

Well NOW....2020 - we have a lovely virus reeking havoc called Covid.  I ended up developing the lovely virus and have some lovely lingering issues as a parting gift.  At first it was just getting used to the craziness of my taste buds and NOW some sort of rash is hitting me up.  Slowly developing under my armpits.  Went to the doctor she said "oh it's nothing, just some inflamed sweat glands." gave me an ointment (Mupirocin) but then due to a contract issue with UHC, my doctor is no longer my doctor because my insurance will not pay her.

ooooh wait - i forgot the best part - I'd been having some weird bleeding with cramping that wasn't tied to my monthly fun times.  Went in for a slightly painful ultrasound and some other test to find out I have something that needs to be removed PLUS I have 3 fibroids (or 4) i can't remember.  The fibroids are not going to be touched right now but the bleeding is coming from the other thing.  I'm still having some mild cramping and some bleeding but nothing I can do but be prepared with herbal (lavender) infused pads.  They do help alot.  I also have several pair of the new undies that someone designed for us during those fun monthly times, I still wear a pad with mine tho.  My outpatient procedure will be handled next month since I need to wait until I have a new bucket of money because my insurance only pays for a portion of the procedure.

ok so back to this rash.  It was mild, i was using the Mupirocin but then my doctor stopped strangely, refilling my prescription so it got worse.  I have to get a new doctor so I can get some more Mupirocin at least because now this rash is flaring up in the nether regions.  Skin looks ugly and lots of itching.

NOW one more thing, I have had a bad tooth for quite some time that needs oral surgery but my dentist's office closed and the only other option they could give me is a location that is an hour away.  Yeah not happening.  So the other day (12/5/2021) I was eating and agitated the tooth and NOW I had to run and buy orajel (maximum strength) plus part of my face is swollen under my eye, even though it's not hurting.  Some parts of my nose is sore if I move it but other than that I have an ice pack to keep the swelling down.

So uuuum yeah....from head to the middle section (LOL) I'm dealing with some stuff!  I hope I make it to my next birthday!  The Universe has allowed me to get things together for the event and I plan on making it an annual thing so I hope I'm good.

Oh yeah - almost forgot - my thyroid levels are too low and my hair was leaving me...in the front, very thin and my edges grew back from a braid incident but the area that my hair used to be has changed in the front.  The same doctor that I'm no longer seeing was handling it with meds so now I'm going the herbal route.  I use the stuff in my smoothies.  I'm hoping to see a change.

I do have a new doctor selected but I haven't setup an appointment yet - I know I should ASAP especially after ALL of the shit I just listed that I'm dealing with.

Crazy how I'll write on this blog more than I've verbalize to another human.  I guess cuz I'm not a fan of the response "oh nooooo...what can i do? are you ok?"  You can't do anything, I was just telling you.  I know people mean well and I should hide anything.  I'll let my cousin Yolanda know what's happening if anything gets too crazy.  She's my emergency contact.

ok.  I'm going to get back to my work stuff.  I just had a weird bleeding incident which made me think to blog what's been happening.  So, I'm done.

Hope your life is going great.
