Take It As It Comes

I could write about how bad things were today.. the whole water bill issue with the landlord that has been going on the past few months. The one that everyone I talk to is appalled that the landlord is NOT taking responsibility for. But guess what, the law is ambiguous enough that if it went to court it would come down to what judge had the case, and how they were feeling that day.
I talked to a lawyer, and the honest truth is that I have some strong arguments, but because of how the lease was written, and the favoritism of the state for landlords, I might have a 65% chance of winning. Those odds are just not good enough for me. And I would rather cut my losses and move on than continue to play the I have to battle it out or I have to be right game. So why do I write this? Isn't this just me proving that I am right? Hmpphh.. Well, I am. But, no. I am sharing this to perhaps help someone else realize that the are fighting a battle that isn't worth fighting.

What am I going to do now? Simple, put the water bill into my name. Use water MY usual conservative way. And get back to building my business and creating my future away from here. That is what is important.

But I thought this was a gratitude blog! It is.. I am grateful for finding wonderful, friendly people to talk to about the laws in Arizona this morning. I am grateful for finding a lawyer who would talk to me over the phone and be honest with me about my chances and why. And I am grateful for my ever supportive boyfriend, who is my best friend and always there for me even though he lives half way around the world from me.
