It is going to be an interesting week.
First, The landlord for the shop is suing us, so we go to court on Wednesday. We were lucky we even found out about it at all. We got a notice of continuance and thought “WTF?” So off to the courthouse where we are told that we were served papers, when we were not. So we go and get a copy of the papers and then they say that makes us served. Sigh. At least they approved a further continuance so we could try to get paperwork together – for what it is worth.
We really have nothing in the way of defense. Nada. All we can do is tell the judge the same things we told the landlord. They told us we should try to sublet, that they would let us. We tried, but when people found out that they could rent for a lot less from the owners directly, well let’s just say it didn’t work out.
We tried everything we could think of. We really, really tried.
Cashed in, sold off, begged, borrowed, and above all prayed. We worked hard and hoped. And it didn’t work. We lost every cent we had, and went way too far into debt trying to keep it afloat. It will take us years, if we can do it at all, to get out of this.
Now we are tired. Broke, and tired. Praise God that we have friends who stand by ready with hugs, kind words, and a bit of grocery $$. It has been very humbling.
Hold good thoughts for us.
On a much, much happier note, my middle God daughter is going to have her first child on Monday! I am sooo excited! She is over the moon excited about the coming baby, a little girl. I so wanted to be there. But I have the Sunshineman on Monday and Tuesday, and of course there is court on Wednesday. Friday I am flying up. A major benefit of my guy working for the airline industry is that no cost flying.
I have been working on paperwork all day and hope to get the taxes done tomorrow. That way I can clean this messy house. lol. I swear I could clean for 10 hours a day and still have more to do. Oh well, Praise God for a house to clean!
Good night all
