zzzzzz - incessant sleep deprived bitching

I can't sleep. I just started thinking that it's going to snow in the "near" future. Adam and I have always been the ones to clear off the sidewalks and stairs, and provide snow melt for the stairs that we also lay out so no one falls. I know this is stupid, but I actually read our rental agreement. It says nowhere in there that we are responsible for doing this. Well, it does say that there will be no unsightly junk, etc., but the landlord's already broken his own rule. Anyway, I hope our landlord has good insurance. I would have to count on two hands how many times I've fallen down the stairs or slipped on the sidewalk due to not having snow melt thrown out. I refuse to do this any more. It's not my responsibility, and coming only once or twice during the entire winter season to layout snow melt and shovel is unacceptable in my book. Not to mention, he's getting an extra 600 bucks out of us per year for Madison for "floor maintenance" when the floors already look like shit. I know Adam won't ever question him, and he sure as fuck won't listen to me. I really like this place, but I'm sick and tired of the bullshit he pulls with me. He didn't care about when my bike was stolen. He didn't even notify other tennants that there was a theft. He was too concerned with his peppermint (that will be referenced to as weeds). He's yelled at my dog for almost peeing on the part of the sidewalk that no one walks on. He's told me that my dog brought fleas into the building. He refused to replace the broken storm door 2 years ago, but my father was kind enough to pay for it and install it. I never got reimbursed for that. He flat out told me that I should get a job and quit sitting around. Since when is it his business what I do? He never said that to Adam when he was working from home. So, I guess, because I'm at home I should get a job. Then he turns around and asks how school is going. He also talks badly about all of the other tennants in the building, which I can only assume he's saying bad things about us, as well. I really wish we would just hit the lottery so we can buy a house.

I guess I'm just concerned that he's going to raise rent on us. He asked if I had read the paper. No, you dumb fuck, I can't read. Yes, I'm aware of the rising oil prices and yes, I am aware of the rising sewer prices. I refuse to let Adam pay more for this hellhole that's not being taken care of. I guess part of me wishes one of the neighbors really did buy this building.
