Figuring Out Which Planet The Landlord Is On !!!!

Here on this holiday weekend after an eventful week. Tomorrow is a public holiday in Western Australia, not sure if it is also on the east coast, it's like foreign countries on the east coast, they have different holidays at different times. But at least here tomorrow is a much needed public holiday!!! My cards as per usual are always right, so here is this week's cards for the coming week.......

My cards for this new week with the start of Venus retrograde.

-XIX - The Sun - Happiness - A time of joy from within. Celebrating everything including the small things. Inner connection to the light. Recognising blessing in everything. Positive light bursting in annihilating the negativity up to now.

-5 of Cups - Fear - Giving in to fear, obsessions, self sabotage, self harm. Lack of strength necessary to face one's fears. Unable to resist inner demons.

-Knight of Cups - Seeker - One who finds treasures in unlikely places, things that others may overlook. Longing for connection and intimacy. The Guardian, Spirit Guide, only the one who truly loves me truly understands me.

-28 - Collaborative Dreaming - The same card on two consecutive weeks, the 3rd time in just over a month. The universe definitely trying to send a message!!

Summary - What a contrast!!! Happiness, joy, victory over darkness.... and seemingly utter defeat, self sabotage, self harm, giving in to negativity!! That is the story of my life, things changes often from one day to the next. On a high one day, the next day in the utter depths of despair. Indeed almost manic in my emotional rollercoaster. Reminds me of the story of the Jewish prophet Elijah in ancient Judea who was one day at the height of his power, literally calling down the fire from heaven, changing the spiritual course of a whole nation, but just a while later, fleeing in utter fear from a woman into the wilderness just because of the mere words of the woman!!!

So what is the universe trying to tell me here!!??? The most perplexing of card draws. Well as it is said, forewarned is forearmed. Indeed the 3rd Tarot draw offers a clue. The Seeker. That is, the gift, even the miracle, will be found in the most unlikely places. So no looking to what seems the most likely places, or the places where manifestation of gifts had occurred before. The resources I need it seems will manifest from the most unexpected sources. Regardless of my feelings or emotional states which can change from one day to another, the universe always have my back, and will always provide.

The Oracle!! OK the same card within a short time, that is, 3 to 4 draws, is seen as a strong message from the universe!! But now, the same card on CONSECUTIVE draws, the universe definitely trying to tell me something!!!! It seems in spite of the obstacles, mainly economic, that is still swaying my decisions, I must definitely go with a group tour or pilgrimage on my next trip.

-----------------------------

So when I went to the mailbox I had a feeling there be mail from the landlord, and my feelings were correct. I also had a feeling that extra walls were added to the paint job which he is trying to have me pay for, and again I was correct but also shocked at the same time!!! There was indeed a task list from the painter, and not only there are extra walls added, but THREE EXTRA ROOMS!!!!! These extra rooms had nothing to do with the mobility aids that were installed for my wife, the source of the original complaint regarding the walls.

But what really got me was that the landlord made no attempt to explain nor even justify including the three extra rooms in the bill. He it seems expected me to either not notice the three extra rooms or just to gloss over it and still pay him the money with no questions asked!!!! OK which planet is he on!!!!???? Must be a Reptilian planet!!!! Was he on some kind of weed??? If so, I want that weed!!!!!! I mean...... how incredulous a landlord can be!!!!!?????

Then the thorny matter of the mobility aids for my wife, the source of the original complaint. Aside from my wife's mobility aids, there were already mobility aids, bars, etc installed at the house by the PREVIOUS TENANTS who were an elderly couple. It was only that additional mobility aids were needed to be installed for the specific needs of my wife. Issue is, as asked by the landlord, the mobility aids for my wife were removed but the other mobility aids were left in place as they were already installed when we took the property!!!! It turned out the landlord also removed those mobility aids and is trying to make me pay for it!!!!! OK the landlord is definitely on another planet!!!!! Certainly NOT planet Earth!!!!! How in all seriousness the landlord be so incredulous as to ask me to pay for removal of fittings that were already installed on the property for the benefit of the PREVIOUS tenants!!!!!!

Then the issue of the aircon. His explanation for why the price of the aircon repairs was so high cos he claims the whole unit needed replacing!! I find that hard to believe. The only problem was the issue of temperature control, that is the thermostat. Otherwise the whole unit including the motor was working perfectly fine. It's like saying the whole car needed replacing when the only problem was with the thermostat attached to the cooling system!!!! Imagine going to a mechanic with my car experiencing overheating problems, then the mechanic turns around saying the thermostat is shat so the whole car needed replacing!!!! The landlord is basically asking me to believe this about the aircon. The unit was working perfectly fine except for the temperature controls. This is aside from the question of "use versus abuse". Tenants are not responsible for the malfunction of appliances unless there is a proven case of abuse. The onus is on the landlord to prove the instance of abuse.

More still, he failed to provide the documentations for the other issues, the kitchen sink and the carpet. I specifically also asked for this information, stating that the matter will not progress any further UNTIL I receive this information. All he can offer is some vague explanations, there were no documentations, not even any receipts.

Then he has the nerve to tell me about his financial problems, that he is short of money due to these repairs, and he hasn't been able to attract new tenants even in the three months since I vacated the property!!! OK Mr Landlord, there is a reason for this!!! It's called KARMA!!!!! Furthermore, this is WITCH KARMA!!!! I am a witch, and whoever is foolish enough to mess with a witch gets turned into a toad. We live by the "law of three", that is basically, whoever harms us or attempts to harm us or put any shit on us will have THREE TIMES the magnitude of the harm returned to them!!!! That is why even after three months he hasn't been able to attract new tenants and is thus deprived of the extra income from the rent. For seven years he has enjoyed the extra income from the rent I have been paying for him. Now it is gone, and due to the law of three which comes with messing with witches, he is not going to get new tenants anytime soon. Or if he does eventually get new tenants, they will be the tenants from Hell who will cause three times the damages that he is trying to make me responsible for!!!!! Either way, one who messes with a witch pays for it dearly, indeed gets turned into a toad!!!!!! He is practically begging me to start paying him!!!! I may be a Virgo, and we Virgos don't like to put people out, we seek to avoid conflicts and bend over backwards to help other people even at our own expense. However he hasn't counted on the Pluto Uranus Chiron config in my chart, that is without going into details, when I am pushed then I will fight and FIERCELY SO!!!!! It's basically TOUGH NOODLES about his financial problems. It's what happens when one messes with a witch!!!!!!

However instead of payments, the landlord is going to get a reply with even more questions!! And being the Virgo that I am, we Virgos are good with details and we have analytical skills. So every part of his letter is going to be scrutinised, and specific questions asked. Furthermore I am keeping records of the details of our correspondence. We Virgos are legends at record keeping, such as the dates, questions he hasn't answered, requests not complied with, and other details that the legal profession is going to be needing. Because unless the landlord snaps out of his delusions and get back to planet Earth, the legal profession is going to be involved.

So my task for this week is to compose a reply letter with specific questions being asked.

What else is happening..... well, I went for my walk yesterday, and plan on going for another walk tomorrow. The weather has been hot and unusually humid due to the recent rains, it feels more like Bali than Perth which usually has dry heat. It is very tropical here! And there is a cyclone up north. The Magpies got beaten...... again!!!!!!!! And we have the state elections next week.....

Oh yes with the elections next week, here is my view of politics...... basically it is all part of the Reptilian\cabal order. Reptilians (a species of ETs from some other planets) are ruling this planet for the enslavement of mankind. Money being a part of the enslavement. Most other civilisations on other planets does not use money, only those enslaved by Reptilians, such as planet Earth. The jobs we go to five days or more per week in order to get paid a salary is nothing more than enslavement. In the past the slaves may not have been paid with money, such as the Negro slaves in America, but for their troubles there were provided with housing, food, water, clothing, etc. The only difference now is we receive the money for the housing, food, water, clothing, etc. We are still slaves. And the Reptilians rules us through religion and politics. Every major religious leader and every political ruler are Reptilians.

So basically it doesn't matter whether we vote for Liberals, Labor, Greens, One Nation, Australian Christians, or Stand On Your Head Party, they are all nothing more than puppets of the Reptilian\cabal order.

Well since voting is compulsory in Australia, well we still have to vote..... right?? Well no. Voting itself is not compulsory. It is only compulsory to turn up at the polling place, have our names crossed off, and receive the ballot papers. Since the ballot papers are not identified to particular voters, there is no compulsion to actually voting. We can do as we please with the ballot papers. We can even draw pictures of ETs, UFOs, and channel alien writings if we wanted to - and I DO have the ability to tune into alien or ET energies and channel alien writings - akin to secret codes that humans does not understand but carries a lot of power, like the spells of witches!!!! Sometimes I just do reverse voting, that is, put first preferences on the minor parties who are least likely to win enough votes, and placing the last preferences on the major parties thus effectively nullifying my votes for them. Then I channel ET writings as a hex to bind the actions of the major parties that will harm us, such as, breaking promises and raising taxes as they ALL do once they win power - doesn't matter whether it's Liberals, Labor or whoever else, they will all raise taxes and charges once they win power!!!! It's proof they are part of the Reptilian order. Raising taxes being a means of keeping us enslaved to the system, paying more taxes means less money for other things, keeping us in order - like the slaves that we are.

However it is the Senate paper that we can potentially yield at least some resemblance of power. Not all of the minor parties are of the Reptilian order. A case in point being the "Fluoride Free Party", basically a group that advocates to end the fluoridation of our water supplies. The adding of fluoride to our water supply is a Reptilian method of keeping us enslaved. It is what Adolf Hitler did to the inmates of the concentration camps, he added fluoride to their water supplies. This has nothing to do with preventing tooth decay. Fluoride is a toxic agent that affects our brains making us more compliant with the govt of the day, the laws, regulations, etc, like zombies. Never trust the government, never trust the education system, never trust the media, never trust religion - they are all part of the same Reptilian\cabal agenda. It is why those of us in the "alternative" lifestyle who tends to resist the governmental agendas are usually ones who drinks little or no tap water, they instead use bottled water which normally doesn't contain fluoride, or certain filtered water, or rain water. It is why rainwater tanks are illegal in America, the authorities can't fluoridate rainwater tanks, so just ban them instead. It has nothing to do with safety issues or water quality. The Reptilian agenda is very much alive and well in America..... and elsewhere on this planet.

OK enough of my weird ramblings..... I know.... I'm weird with outlandish weird views...... blame it on the Piscean influence in my chart being my Rising Sign, or the Uranus in my Sun sign!!!!!

Here some cartoons as promised.......

He must be a Virgo!! LOL

What they probably say about ME !!!! hehe!!!!

Speaking of the elections next week...... hehe......

My Out Of Balance Heart Chakra

First this week's card draw and my summary as shared earlier on my FaceBook account......

My cards for this energetically intense new week beginning with tonight's Solar Eclipse

-XVIII - The Moon - Darkness - Searching for the right pathway in the darkness. Facing the shadows. Ability to face the inner and outer monsters with confidence, knowing their weakness. Accepting the shadow self. The shadows seems disorientating but we have the ability to find the path leading to liberation.

-28 - Collaborative Dreaming - Cooperating with conscious like minded souls to fulfil a dream or to fulfil my calling. Creating in a group. This often involves challenges not present in lone pursuits. The differing ideas and ways of doing things, the need for compromise, group dynamics.

SUMMARY - How appropriate for this New Moon and Solar Eclipse!!! Drawing the Moon in the Tarot!!! This is likely to be referring to the bond fiasco, which seems to indicate I will hear from the landlord this week, another letter from him may be waiting for me when I check my mailbox this afternoon. But it won't be to fulfil my requests, it will take time for him to contact the various tradespeople, etc, and as we all know, they will take their own sweet time. But the letter or any other contact will be to try wriggle himself out of this request. He represent the monster due to the perceived power and authority, but he does have weaknesses, and the analytical Virgo me will discern his weaknesses and exploit them. For example if he threatens legal action, the weakness will be that he will still have to provide the same information that I am requesting potentially exposing his attempts to hide things to maximize the monetary returns, so very likely to backfire on him. I DO have the ability to find my way out of this, being a Virgo does help!!

The Oracle is what I have drawn before, seems to be confirmation that my next trip will be with a group. Or in general, spending more times with groups in my spiritual pursuits rather than on my own.

-----------

Well it turned out there was no mail from the landlord when I checked my mailbox this afternoon, just a note for a parcel to be collected. A parcel!!??? Who's in Hell's name would send me a parcel?? I hadn't ordered anything recently. I'm trying to save money for my trip so no chance I ordered anything. I am due to receive a CD but a CD should have been able to fit into my mailbox, indeed when I receive CDs it had always fitted into my mailbox, so it won't be the CD. Dang I hate surprises like this, I will have to hang on for the whole day tomorrow until after work when I will have to make the trip to the PO before closing time to collect this mysterious package.

Anyway in regards to the bond fiasco, I hadn't heard from the landlord, there was no mail from him, and he made no attempt whatsoever to call or text me. My app which blocks calls from numbers not on my Contacts does inform me when someone attempts to call me. I know full well he is not going to comply with my request, at least not at first. He will do his best to wriggle himself out of this. But even if he resorts to legal action he will still have to provide the information to them the same information I am requesting. I have him over the racks and he knows it. He be trying to work out what to do next. Of course when I go to the PO to pick up my mysterious package tomorrow there could very well be mail from him in my box.

Meanwhile..... yet another challenge to my savings plans, though I knew this was coming, it was just a matter of when. That is, I knew that my yearly appointment with the Heart Specialist was due, and in fact last Friday I gotten a call from the clinic and left a message for me to contact them to arrange such an appointment. Me and my out of balance heart chakra that manifested as a heart attack back on that fateful day in July 2015!!!! My visits to the Heart Specialist are expensive being a private practice so it's a good thing it is only once per year, and I get about half of it back on Medicare. This time however they are wanting to do a "stress test" on me. I've heard about these before at the clinic but up until now had never had it done on me. But I do know it is expensive, and I am not sure how much of it I would get back on Medicare. I do have the funds for it, knowing approximately how much it will cost based on what I've heard on previous visits, but it would come out of my savings funds for my trip, so it will be down to how much of it I will get back on Medicare. And I still expect to reach my target by May, I was on track to reach it by April, but thanks to this, it will indeed be put back a month to May.

Anyway being of Virgoan energy I have a plan to deal with this expense. Tomorrow I will call back the clinic and make the appointment for next month, last week of March. This will give me a chance to plan for this while still remaining on track for my savings plan. We Virgos are very resourceful creatures. Hopefully they will also be able to tell me exactly how much it will be, and how much of it I will get back on Medicare. This will help me to better plan for this.

Ironically I faced a similar challenge back in 1999, the last time these Eclipses happened in my Ascendant sign as part of the 18-year lunar cycles. It was in 1999 I was also having to save my pennies by May, this time to pay for my wife's residency application, which ironically costed about as much as the air ticket to the Americas - what I am saving for this time!!! And back in 1999 I also came up with medical expenses, this time for my wife to take a medical test as part of the application process, that was also expensive especially since we had to pay full price, my wife wasn't on Medicare cos she was not yet an Australian resident!!! Her medical test came up with an issue which required further tests, hence further expenses, which impacted on my ability to save my pennies for the residency application fee. But I got there that time even if it was at the last minute, it was down to my last paycheck before the deadline, and if she missed the deadline she'd be on the first plane back to America!!! So this time I will succeed again, I will reach my target by May.

Meanwhile back to the cards..... the Tarot card is most likely referring to the bond fiasco. So now to explain about the Oracle card.......

The Oracle card is what I have drawn just recently about two to three weeks ago, and when the same card is drawn again within short time, it is the universe sending strong messages!!!! Let's put it this way. Randomly shuffling a 44-card deck what's the chance of drawing the same card more than once!???

Well this past week due to the economic challenges, the latest being the appointment with the Heart Specialist which is destined to be expensive even under Medicare, I was thinking perhaps I will go it alone on my next trip. But it seems I am not to do this. I would need to go with a group, a group pilgrimage. Up to now all of my trips I have been on my lonesome.

Going with a group will be more expensive than just going on my own. Although the group tour fees covers pretty well everything, such as lodging, transportation, entry fees, meals, etc, it usually involves staying in 5-star lodgings and other luxuries I be perfectly happy to make do without on my own. There of course would be group discounts, such as for lodgings, but it would still be more expensive to stay in 5-star lodgings than the budget lodgings I would normally book for when travelling on my own. Furthermore I would need the singles supplement which will be more expensive still. Although it be great to be with a group during the day, I am a sensitive soul, and the energies at these sites will be very intense especially being on the Dragon line, and it will affect me!!! So I will need my own space to retreat to each night rather than sharing with someone even if he is also spiritual or a HD soul. Plus I will have my Dragon Goddess and crystals, and will need space to set those up in my lodging during the trip.

Also the tour price is often in $US, so will make it even more expensive with our 3rd-world-like currency exchange rate here in Australia!!!!

Although I expect to reach my target for funds for the air ticket by May, it is going to be a challenge to save my pennies for the tour costs even if I book my spot for towards the end of the year, say, October onwards. As fiercely independent as we Virgos are, it's likely I won't be able to raise the funds for the tour on my own, even with my Virgoan skills of budgeting and keeping track of my day to day expenses. The universe is going to have to provide for me or help me with any shortfalls.

I must say I DO have a good track record with this. On all of my trips so far the universe has miraculously provided. For example on my America trip, due to the Telstra roaming fiasco, I was in serious danger of running out of funds to meet my lodging expenses for the last week or so of the trip. I was seriously contemplating the prospect of sleeping in my car at Mt Shasta. However almost at the last minute the universe did miraculously provide for me, and I had extra funds for my lodgings!!! Then for the Glastonbury trip, due once again to the Telstra roaming fiasco, the economic viability of the Glastonbury trip was in serious danger - until once again the universe provided, and for the first time ever, I went on the trip without running out of money!!!!!

So safe to say, if I am going to go with a group on my next trip, I will have provisions for funding such a trip.

What will help my cause is in May my two-year contract with Telstra ends, so paying out money to them each month, much of it wasted, will no longer occur. I will not be going into another contract. I will go with another telco and go prepaid on my phone, this will save me potentially a significant amount of money each month, this will add significantly to my savings plan for my next trip. Another advantage of going prepaid is I won't be in any danger of any bill shock due to the roaming charges, what had almost gotten me into trouble last year when I went to America.

Last but not least it was Mother's birthday today, the same day as the Solar Eclipse. Well it would have been her birthday if she was still on this planet. In the higher dimensions there are no birthday celebrations because we are eternal creatures. Indeed back on Taygeta there are no birthdays, Taygeta is a HD planet where everyone lives forever. I don't think Mother is on Taygeta but she is certainly somewhere in the higher realms. With so much happening today I almost "forgot" about her birthday, well I could NEVER forget it, but the focus was on other things not so much her birthday. And last night I was at my ecstatic dancing session. Mother was a dancer, so my love for ecstatic dancing comes partly from Mother. Dancing is in my DNA, not only the human DNA but also my ET or alien DNA. We dance a lot back on Taygeta.

Just another week in the life of an 8D soul from Taygeta...........

Blessed Be

Navigating The Eclipse Cauldron

Last week was the very chaotic lunar eclipse, and next weekend on Mother's birthday is the solar eclipse. Neither of them are visible from Australia but we are still affected by the energies of them. So this fortnite inbetween the eclipses is known as the eclipse cauldron due to the chaotic energies with the universe aim to bring forth change and new beginnings.

For some reason my energies have been high and so far seem to be sailing through this eclipse cauldron. Last week I refer to my card readings which I do for myself each Sunday being the first day of the week, the Pagan day of the Sun. So I thought I will share my card readings for this weekend. Firstly an explanation of the cards that I use.

I use the "Vampire's Tarot of the Eternal Night" and the "Sacred Rebels" Oracle cards. My natal chart shows the conjunction of Pluto and Uranus in my Sun sign Virgo. A "conjunction" simply means the two planets appears close together when looking up in the sky. That is how it was when I came to this planet. Pluto, the god of the underworld, often refers to darkness. Uranus is the planet of rebellion and revolution. That is why I always have been a dark and rebellious soul. So the Tarot cards represents Pluto, and the Oracle cards represents Uranus. My cards are always accurate and were absolutely spot on last week, so by sharing this week's readings it will give a good idea of how the week will pan out.....

The top card is from the Oracle deck, the bottom three cards are the Tarot. The cards chose themselves as I shuffle the decks, the cards that sticks out of the pack or falls out as I shuffle them are the cards that are chosen for me.

Explanation for this draw,,,,,,,

My cards for this week leading up to the Solar Eclipse next weekend

-IV - The Emperor - Stability - A time of security and stability, inspiration in challenges. Balancing stability and change. Perseverance in intentions without giving up.

-XIII - Death - Endings - Missing what was and not quite ready to embrace what is. Faith in what will be. A transition to something new, renewed opportunities of redemption. Learning from past lessons, determination to face any challenges ahead.

-XV - The Devil - Freewill - Life is about compromises, being able to recognize and be willing to walk away when it is not worth it. All addictions and bondages comes from within, bringing them to the light to diminish their power. Discernment brings to light the dark side.

-40 - Sacred Fool - The great rebel, thwarting convention and speaking the truth without restraint. It cares not for what is "the right way" nor what is perceived as reality. Letting life happens, breaking of conventions, embracing what is left field, off-the-wall, off-the-planet. Radical living attracting miracles and synchronicities. Making decisions which others will think is crazy.

Summary - Stability in the face of what is destined to be a chaotic solar eclipse in my Ascendant sign is very much a comfort. Whatever challenges and issues I be compelled to face, it will be from this foundation of stability. The theme seems to be endings and letting go of what no longer serves me. My social media accounts a case in point. While I will be keeping FaceBook and this blog for the foreseeable future there are some other social media accounts I am in the process of shutting down since any returns I may be getting from them is not worth the time spent on them. Time to let go and free up my time for things that does serve me, and for my callings.

The challenges and learning from the past most likely to be relating to the bond fiasco. The landlord will receive my letter this week, and he will challenge it, even refuse outright to fulfil my requests. He will be in a hurry to get money from me, so he will try to call me only to find that his calls and txts to be blocked, so next best thing from his point will be email, he is likely to send me an email trying to bypass my request and wanting to settle this matter quickly. But I learn from my past, that in the past I submitted meekly to his wishes, now knowing this is NOT the way to deal with him now, but to stand my ground, using my Virgo stubbornness, making it clear there will be no moving ahead in this matter UNTIL my requests are fulfilled.

The Oracle is just my Uranus kicking in. I am indeed the sacred fool. Very much off the wall, off the planet, with more than a few screws loose. That is me in general. So there must be a reason for this card to be highlighted now!! Only time will tell. Perhaps that in the midst of the chaos of the eclipse and the trials ahead, the best course of action to navigate this is to just be myself, that is, my 8D self, not my 3D Virgo self or other Earthly self, but my real 8D Taygeta self.

-------

As shared in last week's blog, my cards virtually predicted I would hear from the landlord, and that is exactly what happened. His letter was waiting for me in my mailbox with a request to begin with my payments towards the alleged debt but was very scant on details. So I had planned to compose a letter to him requesting details of the expenses with supporting evidence from the trades people or repair companies. The thing that got me which prompted my intention to compose the letter was his claim that it would cost $1000 to repair the aircon which needed only a thermostat replaced. The temperature settings were shot, that is a thermostat issue. The aircon was otherwise working perfectly ok. I know what a thermostat is, you can make one from a child's electronics kits or perhaps $10 worth of components from an electronics store. It cost me less than $300 to replace the thermostat in my car's cooling system, and the only reason why it costed close to $300 was because the head gasket also needed replacing. And as we all know, car repairs are always the most expensive. It is not as expensive to repair anything else as it is to repair cars!!!! Anyone who owns a car will know this!!!! His claim of $1000 for the aircon repairs was supported by copies of some quotes, but the quotes were scant on details. My feeling was that he is trying to pan off additional work on the aircon aside from the thermostat, that is, most probably charging me for servicing to the aircon unit, which is the landlord's responsibility anyway. It is standard practice that servicing and maintenance issues are the responsibility of the landlord.

So this past week I have been working on a letter to the landlord requesting details of each job performed supported by invoices or statements from the repairs providers. I spent about three days working on the letter, making sure I word it to be polite but firm.

Meanwhile, on the Monday after I gotten the letter from my mailbox that weekend, the landlord tried to call me, indeed calling me several times that day. Indeed he used his wife to call me, putting an emotional tone in her voice, obviously in an attempt to sway me with emotional blackmail. But we Virgos are not fooled, well not easily anyway. My phone was turned off as standard practice since I was at work, so didn't know about the calls with voice messages and txt msgs until I switched on my phone that evening. OK granted that I check my mail only once per week, so the letter from him could have arrived earlier in the week, nevertheless, it was still way too soon for him to start calling me. Obviously he was in a hurry to get money from me. So I used my app to block calls and txt msgs from him. Indeed I set the app to block all calls from numbers not on my Contacts list, this to guard against his attempts to use other phones to call me. We Virgos plan for all things and allows for all possibilities. So all calls and txts except from my Contacts list are now blocked.

The letter was finally finished by the end of the week, and posted last Friday. So it will get to the landlord this week. He will be shocked when he gets the letter. At first he will be thinking that I be seeking to negotiate a lower payment rate since the payment rate he proposes is way too high. Being of Virgoan energies I have in the past went out of my way to accommodate his requests, and have never questioned him before. We Virgos hate to put people out and make waves, we prefer to be people pleasers even at our own expense, so in the past I had always went out of my way to please him. So when he gets my letter he will have high expectations, with me announcing when the payments will begin, and perhaps negotiating a lower payment rate. However he is in for a major shock!!! There are no payment intentions in the letter but a request for DETAILS on the expenses with supporting evidence from the providers.

This he will not like at all. Especially since this will expose his attempts to get more money out of me, for example, additional work on the aircon, and additional work on the walls. Nevermind that the majority of the jobs would come under "fair wear and tear" which the tenant is NOT responsible for. I have been renting for 30 years and I know what "fair wear and tear" is. It comes down to "use" versus "abuse", and the onus will be on him to prove "abuse" rather than "use". The aircon being a classic example. The aircon was installed in 2010 so that makes seven years of use, so it be quite normal for a component such as a thermostat to fail from just using it, therefore it would come under fair wear and tear. He will have a hard time proving that I had somehow abused the aircon, especially since I have always kept the filter cleaned, a very simple job of removing the filter and running it under warm water to remove built up dust.

So he will try to wriggle himself out of fulfilling my request for such further information. Firstly he will try to call me, or most likely, have his wife try to call me. However he\she will find that they will not be able to reach my number due to it being blocked. So he will possibly try other phones to get through to me but each time will find the same result, the attempts to call me being blocked. So his likely next step will be to send me an email, using emotional blackmail and threats against me. However this stubborn Virgo will be unmoved. We are stubborn creatures when we need to be. He will simply get a return email stating that this matter will NOT proceed UNTIL I get the information I requested. The reply will not be immediate but the next day fulfilling the normal protocol of replying to emails within 24 hours. He will be in a hurry to get this matter resolved in his favour but it is simply not going to happen. I will take my time for indeed time is on my side. He has messed with the wrong person. I am a witch, and whoever messes with a witch will be turned into a toad.

The other matter of note..... my savings plan for my trip, well whatever trip I will be taking this year in 2017. At this point in time my savings plan is pretty well on track, my Virgo resourcefulness and determination being a factor here. Once we Virgos set a goal, we stick to it, and if necessary find ways to maximise our chance of success in fulfilling the goal. My current goal is to save funds for the air ticket, and it looks like I am half way there already though the situation will become clear on payday this week when I look at my progress in detail thus far and the budget for the following fortnite. We Virgos are big on details and analytics, and so I have details of the previous fortnite's expenses and ways I could cut back if possible.

I have searched for prices on bar fridges and found some as "cheap" as a couple of hundreds dollars, "cheap" being a relative term in Perth. Down the track that should be achievable. However my current focus is saving for the air tickets by May. Once I look at my situation in May then I will decide if getting a fridge is viable.  If people in Bali can live without fridges then so can I. Even many of the shops in Bali especially in the rural districts does not have fridges, they sell their drinks from ice coolers. Of course the shops in the tourist districts does have fridges with their ice creams, etc, but where I tended to be most of the time during my Bali trip, most of the shops which were mostly not much more than just market stalls or what they call "warungs" didn't have fridges so no icecream but they always had soda, indeed Coca Cola which they sell from ice coolers.

We Virgos are very resourceful creatures. Balinese people get around their lack of a fridge by going to the markets each day for daily food supplies. Here in Australia however we have convenience foods, indeed these days there is a wide variety of convenience foods, such as tinned foods of many varieties, a lot more than just Heinz spaghetti, and well I don't get Heinz spaghetti cos it reminds me of my childhood poverty years. I am not in poverty, I am just saving my pennies for my trips. Aside from tinned meals of many varieties, there are various packaged convenience foods, so very wide variety to choose from. And should I want something cold like soda or icecream, I just wander around the corner to the shops. Or I just order pizza with soda and desserts with my online coupons which makes it relative cheap, well "cheap" for Perth anyway. I order the pizza online and pay for it online, then it gives the estimated time the order will be ready by, so then I just go pick it up near the estimated time, I just walk into the shop and as if by magic the order is sitting there in the warmer cabinet waiting for me, the soda they get from the fridge only when I arrive - oh the wonders of modern technology. There are so many shops nearby, a whole shopping strip and convenience stores all within walking distance. So this resourceful little Virgo is getting by very well without a fridge.

Last but not least..... my blood test results, which aside from the alien DNA it all turned out with excellent results. I thought with the stress I have been under in 2017 and my increased consumption of pizza and soda due mostly to the stress, I thought it would show up in the blood tests. But most remarkably my cholesterol, glucose, and indeed my blood pressure were all quite low with virtually no changes from the last blood tests - September last year. True enough I am on meds for cholesterol and to make my blood thin, but no specific meds for blood pressure nor glucose. So for the results to be so good, it must be my alien DNA kicking in! ;) I am no longer under stress, indeed I am most remarkably relaxed despite my dealing with the landlord. Usually the thought of standing up for my rights terrify me, I usually opt to give in and just try to be people pleasing and not make any waves, just as per typically Virgo. But not this time, and my energy is very high, and am most relaxed. But January was a Hell month for me, I was so under stress and so depressed, and the blood tests were taken just at the end of this, so I would have thought the stress and emotional turmoil would have showed up.

Now getting ready for another week at work....... and my ecstatic dancing this Saturday. Dancing is in my DNA both Earthly and Alien DNA ;) ;)

Energies Are High

Despite the impending chaos of the eclipse season my energy has been high. This is not me! I usually dread eclipse season cos chaos always happens during the eclipses. We had a lunar eclipse yesterday (Saturday) and in two weeks on the 26th which happens to be Mother's birthday we have a Solar Eclipse. These eclipses are not visible from Australia but we are still affected by the energies, and it is chaotic energies. This two weeks period inbetween the eclipses is known as "eclipse cauldron", and as part of the 18-year lunar cycles, the last time such an eclipse series had occurred was in 1999, when as shared in my previous blog, I was experiencing financial challenges. And once again I am experiencing financial challenges.

However this past week in the leadup to the lunar eclipse my energy has been high. This is usually not me!!!! This has to be from the HD realms, the "Higher Dimensional" realms otherwise known as the "spirit realms". Either my spirit guides, ETs, deceased loved ones, or other spirit entities are giving me strength. I wonder why.

We also had the wettest February on record. We gotten more rain this month than we usually do in July!!! It rained almost non-stop for two days last week, and there are floods in the south west and even in the upper reaches of the Swan River in Perth!!! We usually don't get floods even in winter, but the rainfall has been so high that we have been having floods even this close to Perth!!! As part of my commute to work each day, I walk to the train station which is just around the corner from my new abode, take the train into the city, then as part of my exercise routines I take the 20 minutes walk between the station and my workplace. Then I repeat the process in reverse when coming home from work. I have no umbrella since my umbrella is buried in the deep dark depths of my storage unit, and no shops are selling umbrellas cos this is normally summer when it normally doesn't rain!!!!! I normally enjoy walking in the rain and getting wet, but it becomes problematical when it comes to walking to work, and I don't like to take public transport when wet, a part of my Virgo foibles. However most amazingly during these two days of rain, I never gotten wet. The rains would cease miraculously when I take my walks during my commute, sometimes the rain ceases as soon as I walk out of my apartment block. Then rains would stay away until I reach my workplace when it starts up again. Even my colleagues notices this and concludes that there is "someone" "up there" who is looking after me.

Then other miracles happened, such as, money being most unexpectedly deposited into my account when I was facing the most challenging fortnite in my plans to save my pennies for my 2017 trips to Mexico or Peru. Being typically Virgo I never ask for money. We Virgos are fiercely independent creatures, and even at our most dire straits we still never ask for money nor any other help of any kind. Even if we find ourselves living out on the streets, we Virgos still never ask for help!! We Virgos are hard workers and we solve our own problems. Nevertheless the money was MOST DEFINITELY appreciated and allows me to remain on track in my savings plans as well as a few extra pizzas..... and chocolate ice creams.

Then yesterday the property inspection at my current abode, standard procedure after six weeks of commencing tenancy. Being of Virgoan energy I usually get so anxious about these inspections, we Virgos are very anxious creatures, and being perfectionists, we worry whether the property is clean enough. We keep our abodes clean anyway, we Virgos are always clean and tidy. But being perfectionists, we worry about what others will judge. However this time I was not at all anxious about this inspection, I was most remarkably relaxed. And it turned out the inspection went very well, the landlord was very happy with me, and said that I keep the place cleaner than the previous tenants. Obviously the previous tenants were not Virgos!!!!!!

The my awesome ecstatic dancing session last night, when my energies reached even higher. Dancing is in my DNA both my ET DNA and my Earthly family DNA, I always loved dancing. My Mother was a dancer and indeed a dance teacher. Ecstatic dancing is a spiritual form of dancing, a form of healing, as we connect with the HD realms. Dancing has always been a part of religion for as far back in history as we can go. Every religion has dancing in their traditions. Jews are very big on dancing, and it's very much a part of Paganism, Wicca, and the Eastern faiths. SO basically ecstatic dancing brings all of these traditions together, and well it is just totally awesome!!!!

Then this morning as I do each Sunday morning I do my Tarot and Oracle card readings for the following week. The cards chooses themselves as I shuffle them, basically, the cards which falls out or sticks out of the pack as I shuffle them are the cards chosen for the week. My cards are always right. It is quite amazing!! But it is true, my cards are always so spot on for the week. So when I looked at this morning's card spread I knew exactly what was going to happen this week. Without going into details, the particular cards drawn from the Tarot are "Card VII -The Chariot" and "7 of Wands - Defense". Just from those cards I knew EXACTLY what will happen this week, that is, I would hear from the previous landlord in regards to the bond fiasco. It has been over two weeks since our catastrophic meetup so it be just a matter of time anyway before I would hear from him anyway.

And this is exactly what happened when I went to the Post Office later today to pick up my mail from my PO box. There was indeed mail from the former landlord with the final figure of the expenses which he is asking me to pay. However once again he was very light on details. He added the expenses of repairs to the aircon to the final figure which is approximately three times my bond amount, but aside from a copy of a quote, there was no details of exactly what was needed to be done to the aircon. However my energy is still high, and am most remarkably calm about this. Normally I'd be panicking and very anxious about these things. We Virgos are very anxious creatures, and we like to please others even at our own expense, and we don't like to make waves. But not THIS time. With such energies from the HD realm I am more than ready to fight this, and it feels the universe is on my side.

So as shared in my previous blog, I will commence my plans for this, knowing that time is on my side. That is, sometimes this week I will compose a letter asking courteously but firmly DETAILS on the expenses involved together with copies of the invoices from the tradespeople who did the jobs. I have a right to this information since I am the one being asked to foot the bills. My former landlord is in for a shock!!! Up to now, being a Virgo, I had previously cooperated with him. Not now. I will ask him for the detailed list of jobs done on the house. The onus is on him to prove that I am responsible for the expenses rather than it being just "fair wear and tear". Then when I receive this information in writing with copies of the invoices, I will then make an appointment with a tenancy lawyer which costs $40 - a hell of a lot cheaper than the amount of money he is asking for from me!!! I will not mention about my intention to seek legal advice but will make it clear that I have a right to this information. I am very much in control here. Time is on my side.  I am not worried about this, indeed I am quite relaxed about this, VERY HIGHLY UNUSUAL for a VIRGO!!!!!!

Other news..... last week I also went for my blood test as part of the ongoing process of regular checkups stemming from my manifestation of my very out of balance heart chakra - the heart attack I experienced on that fateful day in July 2015. So this week I am due for an appointment with my GP on Wednesday so to get my blood test results. Considering I had been under stress for much of this year, it will be interesting to see what my results will be. Up until now my blood test results has been near to perfect. Well we shall see how it turns out to be when I see the GP on Wednesday.

Now to see how this week will pan out during this very energetic "eclipse cauldron"........

Chaotic Month Ahead

February is set to be a chaotic month with two eclipses happening, Valentine's Day which I hate more than Xmas, and then the memories of Mother's birthday.

So we have a lunar eclipse next weekend, then a solar eclipse two weeks later ironically on Mother's birthday!!!! Neither eclipses are visible from Australia however we still experience the energies. The last time we had those two eclipses at this time of year was back in 1999 as part of the 18 year lunar cycles which actually mirrors the cycles in our lives. Indeed the same issues we faced back in 1999 during those eclipse we are once again facing, and this is indeed true for me.

This time in 1999 was faced with the challenge of saving my pennies to pay for my wife's immigration expenses. We had just moved into our own apartment after bunking at Mother's house since coming back from America in November 1998. Ironically we were also without a fridge at this time though I think we eventually managed to source a 2nd hand fridge. We had until May to come up with the funds for immigration, for that marked six months since my wife's arrival in Australia, she was on a six months temporary visa. So either we submit the application for temporary residency by May which means coming up with the very high fees, or she would have to go back to America.

The major challenge we faced threatening our ability to save for my wife's immigration application, is the overwhelming debt and credit problems stemming from the car rental fiasco during the previous year's America trip. All of my credit cards were maxed out with excess balance owing, and together with other debts, I was seriously behind in my payments. Creditors were stressing me out, constantly bugging me, and threatening legal action. We had no option but to seek legal advice and see a financial counsellor. He took over negotiations with the creditors and did a budget plan for us, allowing us to save for the immigration expenses. However one of the creditors would not cooperate which basically was the deal breaker, and I had no choice but to declare bankruptcy, which set me back financially at least ten years.

Furthermore we needed to make high sacrifices to pay for her immigration expenses. We lived on nothing but cheap low-quality hamburger meat which ended up making my wife sick. We could not go our anywhere that required money, and we had to make do without the luxuries that one normally takes for granted. It was a very frugal lifestyle, reminding me of my childhood poverty years. But in the end we achieved our goals, we were able to come up with the funds for my wife's immigration literally with a week to spare, indeed it was virtually on the last day that we fronted up to immigration department..... and well the rest is history, my wife was granted residency, and eventually became an Australian dual citizen five years later.

Now in 2017 similar issues arises, also stemming from my very karmic marriage though now past the end point of it!!! I am having to save my pennies for my 2017 trips. I have just moved into my own apartment after living at the house previously shared with my wife who passed away in 2013. And am without a fridge, unsure if I will be getting one anytime soon. By May I will probably need to decide which trip I be going on, so will need the funds to book the air tickets and at least deposit for tour expenses. Stemming from this week's card reading, it seems I be going with a spiritual group tour or pilgrimage. I currently have two options for Mexico involving the Mayan pyramids, and none so far for Peru but that could change by May.

The 2017 challenge is the bond fiasco stemming from my very karmic marriage. Most of the "damages" the landlord is seeking to bill me for stems from my time with my wife, the installation of her mobility aids at the house by the hospital leaving a mess behind, and other things. I am currently waiting to hear back from him for the next stage, but legal action seems to be in my destiny, this time having to see a Tenancy lawyer to test the legality or otherwise of my landlord's demands, and perhaps negotiate any payment plans with the landlord who is unlikely to be altogether cooperative. I just have to remember that time is on my side, and the onus is on the landlord to prove his claims.

In the initial panic after the last meetup with the landlord, I cancelled all of my subscriptions and other expenses, and had decided to cut out my spiritual activities that requires money. At this stage I will not be recommencing my subscriptions, but have since decided to continue on with my ecstatic dancing sessions which are not expensive anyway. However am still cutting out the other expenses, as ironically my credit cards are maxed out, this time stemming from car repair expenses, so still related to cars!! This time however I don't have excess balances owing and am not behind in any payments. My credit rating is way better than in 1999 and am in no danger of bankruptcy. And with my Virgoan determination and sacrifices, I have already made a start on my savings plan while at the same time working on paying down my credit cards on a Virgoan inspired plan.

So at least physically and in 3D reality I am better off in 2017 than I was back in 1999. It's just my rollercoaster emotions and self-sabotage self-harm tendencies stemming from my Virgoan introspection and self analysis that I am contending with!!!!!!

Update on the bond fiasco..... am yet to hear back from the landlord in regards to the aircon issue, as in how much it would cost for it to be fixed. The onus is on the landlord to make contact with me on this issue and to give me a final figure on how much I am being asked to pay. When I get this information, I will be asking him to submit to me in writing a complete list of expenses, including the exact details of the work done, how much it costs, and why I am deemed responsible for these repairs. Copies of invoices will accompany this list, and I will ask specifically for INVOICES, not just "quotes" not even receipts. I need to know that the job has actually been completed, and the invoice would give more information on exactly what was done. Receipts normally doesn't give this information. Then I will be studying this information, making sure nothing is added, asking more questions if necessary. For example, am I being asked ONLY for the area of wall affected by the hospital works or for the entire wall or even room? Me being a Virgo I am big on details and I know how to analyze and make sure I get the details that I need. THEN armed with this information in writing I will be booking a $40 appointment with a Tenancy lawyer to determine the legality of the landlord's demands, for some of these jobs could be judged as "reasonable wear and tear" which the tenant is NOT responsible for. Then it be up to the landlord to try prove it was something more than just "reasonable wear and tear". But since the onus is on the landlord to provide the details and proof, time is on my side. I am a lot more relaxed about this than this time last week!!

Meanwhile my intended trips. I have been wondering about going with a tour group versus travelling on my own. Up until now I have been travelling on my own, however, I had been wanting to go on a group pilgrimage with like minded souls as weird as I am, that is, star seeds and other spiritual people. We star seeds like to visit these ancient sites like the pyramids, stone circles, temples, etc, cos it reminds us of our past lives, and very likely to have been built by ETs. And believe it or not there are quite a few groups online offering pilgrimages for us star seed types. Current snag is, there are no pilgrimages on offer for Peru for my intended travel period - October to December. It will take me that long to save my pennies regardless of any outcomes of the bond fiasco. However there are currently two pilgrimages to Mexico where there are the Mayan pyramids and other ancient sites and ET spots. Mexico is also on my bucket list. So I give myself to May before I decide, so my aim is to save my pennies for at least the air tickets to enable me to book them 3 to 6 months in advance, it is a lot cheaper when you book air tickets in advance. Then to save my pennies for the tour expenses. Oh yes how I decided to go with a tour? I consult my cards, my Tarot and Oracle cards. They always prove to be accurate, and this week one of my cards told me I should go with a pilgrimage group tour for my next trip.

So am currently making sacrifices to help me save my pennies, just like back in 1999!!!! This includes putting on hold any plans to get a small fridge for my apartment. I have pretty well everything else I need such as my camp bed allowing me to sleep off the ground. And also taking the train to work rather than get my bicycle fixed, it would cost me up to six months worth of train fares to fix my bicycle. However no need to be quite so frugal on food, I am not living on cheap hamburger meat, just meals in tins and packets, and other non-fridge items such as some veges, eggs, and long life milk for some of the convenience meals such as the pasta meals in the packets. So definitely not starving, living on one meal per day not for economic reasons but it is all I need. We don't need three meals per day. I eat only when hungry, which usually works out to be one main meal per day, sometimes a smaller snack meal added. Most people eat when bored or to maintain routines. But we can train ourselves to eat only when hungry so to avoid excesses in food and keeping the weight down.

This week..... well hopefully find time for the blood tests as prescribed by my doc in my ongoing checkups stemming from my 2015 heart event. I was meant to go last week but it got really busy at work with the start of the school year, and me being Virgo I always put others before me, such as, I tend to put my job before me, hence postponing the blood tests. It's what Virgos do, it's in the DNA of Virgos to self sacrifice for the benefit of others, careers, etc. So will try for this week and see how things in my job pans out, perhaps I will have time this week for the blood tests.

Blessed be for another week.......

More Catastrophes

2017 is turning out to be a catastrophic year, one of the Hell years of my life, with everything going pear shaped as I pay the very high karmic price for my wife.

The catastrophic bond fiasco. My feelings are always correct. I knew the landlord was up to no good as he seemed in such a hurry to get the bond finalized, and no landlord is ever in a hurry to give money to tenants, so I knew at least I wasn't going to get any of the bond back. Well that fateful meeting finally happened last week just the day before Australia Day after I gotten my wife's death notice, and not only I wasn't going to get my bond back, but he is compelling me to pay out an amount that is about twice the bond amount for repairs I am allegedly responsible for. Not only for the walls as a consequence of the hospital installing mobility devices for my wife, but for other issues he had since picked up after the final inspection.

First thing I said was that I would need time to pay off the amount. He was bugging me to pay it now on the spot or at least come up with a payment plan, but I would not do it, I would need to consider my budget and financial situation. He was blaming this whole affair on his brother who part owns the house, claiming that his brother is pushing the issue, and he has an "evil temper" if he doesn't get his way. Virgo me usually tries to bend over backwards to accommodate others often at great personal expense, it is the trait of Virgos to do so, but not this time. All I could think of is my Peru trip. So I stood my ground, that I would get back to him with a payment plan when I am ready. As I left the house, he was complaining that he would not have to face his brother with the news that the money would not be paid immediately so likely to lose his temper. Tough noodles!!!! Not my problem!!!!

It was when I gotten back home that panic really set in. We Virgos are such anxious creatures. It's in the DNA of Virgos to be over anxious, stressed out, always worrying, always panicking. I just knew there was no way in Hell I would ever be able to pay this money without great personal expenses. I was worried that my plans for my Peru trip would be in danger. I did not sleep at all that night. Fortunate it was a public holiday the next day. I also had the day off work on Friday, thus making it a four day weekend. I certainly would need that day off, as I was in panic mode for two days. I cancelled all of my subscriptions, such as my DVD subscriptions, so to save as much money as possible, and decided I would not attend any more ecstatic dance sessions nor anything else that has an entry fee. I was determined to go to Peru even if I had to starve. Determine but very anxious at the same time.

Then by the 3rd day my Virgo analytical skills kicked in. We Virgos maybe are such anxious creatures but we are also very analytical creatures, and so my analytical trait kicked in. And I came up with several flaws in the landlord's case. First and foremost I did not sign any legal documents in regards to the payment for the repairs. He did not provide an invoice, only a figure on a piece of paper with some receipts. Furthermore, some of the issues represent only estimates of the costs, no one had even quoted on the jobs yet. Indeed he admitted as much on the aircon issue, the thermostat on the aircon having blown, which he blamed on me despite the fact my wife had reported the problem several years ago which he ignored. The only legal document I signed was the actual release of the bond, hence why he needed my wife's death notice. I did not sign anything legally for any of the repair jobs, the "agreements" were only verbal which won't hold any water legally.

Then there is such a creature as "fair wear and tear" which the tenant is NOT responsible for. There's a good chance that many of the issues would come under "fair wear and tear" therefore am not obligated to pay for such repairs.

And indeed time is very much on my side here. There are obligations that the landlord must fulfil before he can compel me to pay the money. First and foremost, he must provide a detailed list of the repairs that he is holding me responsible for. That is, what is being repaired, a detailed list of what the repairs involved, the cost of the repairs, and why I am responsible for the repairs. And he had better give good reasons why I am responsible for such repairs and why it is not just simply "fair wear and tear". Fair enough I be responsible for what the hospital did to the walls, but even then, the question I will ask is whether I am being charged ONLY for the parts of the wall which the hospital had damaged, or whether I am being charged for the whole wall even that parts not touched by the hospital?

So now my plan is, well to first wait to hear back from him in regards to the costs of the jobs not yet quoted, such as, the aircon thermostat repairs. He now has my email address thanks to the bond release form, so I need not meet with him again, all communications will be by email. So I will first wait for his email in regards to the aircon, etc. The onus is on him to provide at least this information before I even think about coming up with a payment plan.

When I do hear from him, I am going to request this information from him, as it is quite within my rights to do so, since I am being asked to foot the bill. The information is to consist of a list of repair jobs, with the job description, the reason why I am deemed responsible for the job, and the cost of the repair. And with this list I will also request copies of the invoices. If any of the jobs are yet to be done, he will have to wait until the job is completed. I will make it clear I will not take this matter any further until I get this information plus the invoices for each job completed. He also has my PO box so I will be asking him to send me the hard copy of this information and invoices.

Then I will be going through the list with a fine tooth comb, like the Virgo that I am. We Virgos are big on details. And where appropriate I will be asking for some clarifications, such as, for the wall issue am I being asked to pay for ONLY the parts affected by the hospital, or am I being asked to pay for the whole room?

Once I get the information to my satisfaction, I will then invest $40 for an appointment with a lawyer at Tenancy Advice. I at first wasn't going to seek legal advice, I was just going to foot whatever bill I was being asked to pay. We Virgos doesn't like to cause trouble, we try to please people even at our own expense, to not rock the boat. But being such a large amount which will cause me hardship and put my Peru trip plans in danger, I have no choice but to seek legal advice. So armed with this information I will make the appointment with the lawyer and see what his advice would be.

Even then I hate the thought of legal action, but in fact, legal action is seen as a last resort. Typically the path the lawyer will first take is to arrange mediation session between the disputed parties - myself and the landlord. Only in the event of the failure of the negotiation process that the matter would be placed in the hands of the Local Court. Most landlords tends to avoid this action where possible, so this I will be using without mercy. There will be no more mercy. I am being placed in a position where I don't deserve to be. I have spent $500 on professional cleaners to clean the place top to bottom for the final inspection, the first time I ever did this. Furthermore I had invested more time and money in repairing the walls myself, and I believe I did a reasonable job thankyou very much. SO to be treated like this is absolutely inexcusable, it's not as if I left the place like a pig sty!!!! So I will NOT be giving any mercy to the landlord, he is going to have to explain his actions, if necessary in the presence of a lawyer. And I will not be paying a cent more than what is absolutely legally required.

So now feeling a great deal better about the situation, that I really have the upper hand here, and that time is on my side here...... well I went to last night's ecstatic dance session anyway.

Then today I felt led to Google for some camper beds, and the first thing that came up on Google is a camping store in Perth that are selling the beds for 40% discount!!!! So I decided it was an offer too good to pass up, and so I now have a camper bed, I am no longer sleeping on the floor. There are several reasons why I chose a camper bed rather than a "normal" bed. Well its cheaper, and easier to carry, it has its own carry bag. And these days the beds are designed to be very sturdy. Easy to unfold but also sturdy, it is indeed like having a normal bed. Furthermore, I will have the bed when I finally decided to turn into a nomadic soul, to get a camper van and hit the road. This is likely to happen when I become redundant in my job, it is only a matter of time before this happens, though I have probably two to three years yet.

The other catastrophe....... my bicycle. Here at the apartment complex the bicycles are kept in the bicycle shed. It's more viable than taking the bicycles up several flights of stairs to our apartments, and the elevator is not big enough for bicycles. However there has been complaints about bicycles being stolen from there, with often locks being cut to access the bicycle. Of course most people has those chain locks which are utterly useless anyway, it's easy to get some bold cutters to cut through the chains. So I had always used my D-lock which is basically made of hardened steel that cannot be cut, well not easily anyway. So I figured my bicycle would be safe, though the wheels could be stolen. A lot of people steal the wheels if they can't get the whole bicycle. And indeed I had a feeling that my wheels would be stolen...... and as usual my feelings proved to be correct!!!!! So am now without a bicycle. Well at least it saved me the bother of having to come up with $300 to get the bicycle serviced, it is now a mute point.

Fortunately I live just around the corner from the railway station, so I did my Virgo analysis of the situation. We Virgos are very good at analysing things. So I analysed the cost of taking the train versus the cost of replacing the wheels, getting additional D-Locks for the wheels, and $300 for the general service it so desperately needs. It turns out I now live closer to the city, so the train fare will be only 1-zone. From my old abode it was 2-zones. Furthermore, when I use my transport "smartrider" card, I get 25% discount on the fares. So the cost of fixing up my bicycle would be roughly equivalent to six months worth of train fares to and from work. No brainer, it works out more cost effective to catch the train. So now I catch the train and incorporate my daily walks, as it is a fair walk between the train station in the city and my workplace. A most viable arrangement. But I DO miss my bicycle!!!!! Such is life in the city whose crime rate is higher than that of New York City!!!!

Then just after the episode with the bicycle wheels, one of my colleagues at work mentioned about one of her family members whose car had the license plates stolen from. And as word got around in the office, someone else mentioned that he knew someone whose license plates were stolen. And indeed the coppers told my colleague that theft of license plates are actually very common, and is so the plates are used on the thief's vehicle to carry out shady activities and the blame lays on the rightful owner of the plates unless the theft is immediately reported!!!! And it costs $50 to replace the plates. Me being typically Virgo being over-anxious and over-thinking had got me really thinking, plus the fact that the theft of my bicycle wheels were very much on my mind. I had led a sheltered life, my car was always locked in the garage at my old abode. But now it is in the more vulnerable position of the apartment parking lot. It maybe a gated community but it wouldn't stop anyone from jumping the fence and steal license plates, like the thief with my bicycle wheels!!!! Furthermore when I got home that day I looked at the other cars in the parking lot and noticed that from the 40 or so vehicles I noticed FOUR of them without license plates!!!! However I was told about the theft-proof screws that one can get from any auto shop. Basically screws with heads designed so that you can screw in with a screwdriver but you can't remove the screws with just the screwdriver, well not easily anyway. So typically Virgo anxious me went as soon as possible to an auto store, I had gotten these screws, and replaced my old screws with these special screws. And well its not foolproof. Fort Knox is not foolproof as an old James Bond movie proves. But lets put it this way...... someone enters looking for plates to steal, they look at my car with the special screws while the car next door has only normal screws, he is going to go for the car with the normal screws!!!!!! To be sure my car does have an alarm but of course it would be ineffective in regards to license plates theft.

And so my struggles continues as I strive to save towards my Peru trip. To be sure in spite of all this happening I am making progress in my savings plans for my Peru trip. I set my intention and so it IS going to happen.

Back To 3D Reality

When we return from vacation and we go back to work and our more mundane routines, we often say "back to reality". However the vacation was also a reality. In my instance it was a HD reality, that is, Higher Dimensions, experiencing many spiritual phenomena and the effects of the Dragon Lines. There are two Dragon Lines circling the planet, basically energy lines, where many of the mystical sites such as Mt Shasta, Uluru, Glastonbury, Avebury, and Land's End are located. Bali is one of only two places on this planet where the two Dragon Lines crosses, the other place being Peru. So after being bathed in the high energies of the Dragon Lines in Bali which was very much a reality to me, a HD reality, I am now back to a 3D reality.......

The bond saga continues...... While I was in Bali I got a msg from my former landlord that he is now ready to finalise the bond, and that I would need to bring my wife's death certificate along. He didn't say if I will get any of the money back, he only said he wants it finalised and he seems to be in a hurry to do so. Given that no landlord is ever in a hurry to GIVE money to tenants, I thought he must need it released so to pay the contractors to do the jobs I was allegedly responsible for and I probably won't get any of it back. I decided I wasn't going to fight it but let karma and the universe take care of the rest. I just want this over and done with so to cut my soul ties from my previous abode once and for all.

Anyway I explained to him I was currently overseas and I would contact him when I return "next week" without telling him which day I would return. It happened that I would return on Sunday but decided to give myself time to source my wife's death certificate which is located somewhere in the deep dark depths of my storage unit. With being back at work the week of my return, the following weekend would be when I will look for this document. But the landlord seemed impatient and he contacted me again on Wednesday without known exactly when I would be returning from Bali. He does seem to be in a hurry.

So the following weekend I went to my storage unit and searched for the death certificate...... and I could not find it!!!!

OK I would have to order a replacement copy from Registry, which being a govt dept it would involve jumping through many hoops and destined to be expensive!!!!

And after visiting the website my prediction proved to be accurate...... I would need to jump through hoops and the highly extravagant fee for the whole exercise would be $48.

First I would need to source three forms of ID from particular lists that was given from the website, that is, one form of ID from "list 1" and two other ID from "list 2". Well that was the relatively easy part, I had the necessary ID at hand.

Then I would need to photocopy these ID and to "certify" these photocopies, basically have someone from a certain list of professions compare the photocopies and the originals, and declare that the photocopies are in fact genuine copies of the originals. Seems an utterly needless step in my view, but then that is government, and government exists to make life as difficult as possible for us.

Fortunately my chemist where I get my heart meds from offers such a service, and I was due to replenish my supplies of meds that week, so I would have the documents certified then. This part really stressed me out as being a Virgo I always get anxious about things. It's in the DNA of Virgos to be over anxious about things!!! However this turned out to be a relatively painless process, the chemist was available and she was happy to certify the three documents, and she wanted only $2 for it though the notice said it be $4 for the three documents.

Next was to post the form and documents to Registry...... this I done last Friday, so hopefully them carrier pigeons will have delivered the item to Registry either today (Monday) or tomorrow (Tuesday). So now another anxious wait as per being a Virgo, always anxious about things. I worry whether I had given enough information, whether they be satisfied with the ID, or whether they would even approve the application for the death certificate. They give death certificates only to next of kin, and well I can't get any more "next of kin" than being the spouse of the deceased, but I know too well what government is like!!!!!!! Therefore aside from being a Virgo I also have other reasons to worry.

They say it be a two-day turn around between receiving the form and posting out the document, and then it be to the carrier pigeons to deliver the document to me. So probably this Friday before I will receive it. My landlord contacted me again today!!!!! Arrrgh!!!! So I told him I had already sent the application in, and all I can do is just wait for the process of government!!!!!

Meanwhile........ my intention for 2017 is I would be visiting Peru, the other spot where the two Dragon Lines crosses. This means I would need to start saving my pennies now. Due to moving expenses, paying out over $1000 for basically a new cooling system for my car, the non-return of my bond, and other issues, my finances are pretty well shot and my credit cards maxed out. But being a Virgo I  analyse the situation and set forth a savings plan. And so this week I commenced a savings plan which involves putting away a proportion of my pay into a high interest savings account plus a plan to pay down my credit cards where I aim to pay at least double the monthly minimum and pay the most to the one with the highest balance therefore the highest interest. I also gotten one of those travel cards which is basically a debit card where you can convert currencies before the trip, and which will solve the problem I ran into in Bali. I could not access my bank accounts from Bali, none of my cards would work. I did fortunately bring cash with me, so had plenty of cash. But after I ran out of cash I tried to get more from my bank account only to find my cards would not work in the ATM machines!!!! I think these days banks blocks access from overseas for "security reasons", so the only way I could pay for things was via my credit cards. It seems strange that I could use my credit cards overseas but can't access my bank accounts from overseas!!!!! So to mitigate against similar problems in the future I decided to acquire one of those travel cards, and so as part of my savings plans, I also put some money into the travel card each payday, so that would be my spending money when I next travel overseas. Money in my savings account would pay for the air ticket, lodgings, and other things that needs to be paid prior to the trip. We Virgos are determined creatures, we set a plan and we stick to it. It won't take me long to pay off the credit cards under this plan.

So though I commenced my plans. there are challenges ahead. The expenses involved in getting my wife's death certificate was a setback, an expense I could have done without.

Then my bicycle which I use to get to work and back each day, it is in desperate need of a service. I am at the point where I am down to just one set of brakes, the other brakes have failed. So once the other brakes fails then I would be without a bicycle. However these brakes should last for a few more weeks yet, and hopefully I can get it serviced long before that. Unfortunately the expense involved with getting my wife's death certificate did set back my plans here, so at this stage I am looking at four more weeks before I will be able to get it serviced. Unless I get some bond money back, but I am not sure if I will get any of it back, and we Virgos always plan for the worst possible scenario - this being not getting any money back from the bond. So based on that I see a four weeks waiting period before I can get my bicycle serviced. We Virgos are determined creatures, we stick to our plans even if it means these temporary sacrifices, I will not dip into my savings under any circumstances even if it will allow me to get my bicycle serviced sooner. I AM going to Peru, it is my calling, and it will happen.

Other less urgent matters....... a small fridge for my apartment. My previous fridge is way too big, it literally won't fit into my apartment, so need a smaller fridge. However this is actually quite low on my priority list. When in Bali I learnt that most people there does not have a fridge and they live perfectly well without it. So if they can, we can too. Just like the Balinese people, I get rice meals, and fresh produce. Added to this some other tinned and convenience meals that can be stored at room temperature. And if I get cravings for icecream and other items, I live literally around the corner from the shopping area with many cafes, delis, and convenience stores. So just a very short walk around the corner, and I get my icecream stick, a cold drink, and perhaps some other treat. Of course being vegetarian also helps, no need to store meat. I don't eat meat so storage of meat is therefore not an issue. A fridge is considered necessary for those of us who eat meat. Vegetarians can live perfectly well without a fridge. Of course I will eventually get a fridge but it is not a priority.

Then a bed. I will soon get a camp bed, this will make it easier for me when I eventually adopt a nomadic lifestyle. I want to keep large furniture to a minimum, to make it easier for me to move house when I need to, and eventually just live on the road with a camper, just like the hippies, that is my ultimate goal. So a camp bed which can be folded is the perfect option for me. Meanwhile I am currently sleeping on an air bed on the floor...... and the valve had just catastrophically failed!!!! Gone are the days when you can get air beds with just a simply plugin valve that you just plug in after you pump the bed full of air. These days the air beds comes with these fancy automatic valves which in theory keeps the air in each time you pump it. All very good when it works. However it is more prone to catastrophic failure, and though it has a cap, the cap is not designed to be air tight. So last night when I woke up on the hard floor after previously laying on the air bed, I realised what had happened!!!!

Well it is going to be some time before I can get a camp bed, and getting a replacement air bed is not an option. So time to improvise, and improvise I do, using my doona as a mattress which is perfectly adequate. There has been times in the past when I slept on nothing but a hard floor!! So having this doona available as a temporary mattress is indeed a bonus.

So yes I am an adaptable creature and I have lived on a lot less than I am now. My Virgo determination gets me through, when I make a plan I stick to it regardless of any perceived "hardships" and I wouldn't even consider these current issues to be "hardships", just merely inconveniences. The biggest issue being the bond saga, and I will be so glad to be over and done with regarding the bond regardless of whether I will get any of it back or not.

So...... it is Peru or bust !!!!!!!!!
