Mayhem

Monday August 4th, despite going to bed at 5 or 6 AM, I was up at 9 and called to get a waxing appointment, which thankfully they had later on in the morning. I started a much needed load of laundry and used the internet for a bit. I took a shower and was in my room getting ready when the doorbell rang. I figured it was Pepa and as I was getting ready to go answer the door, the door opened. I instantly knew it wasn't Pepa and I also knew that Adrian was in his room asleep. There was only 1 other person who it could be: the landlord. Fear struck my heart. I'm not sure what I posted in my blog about what had been going on with the landlord since I left but heres a recap. Near the end of June, the landlord came and gave us all our deposit back. I told him that I wasn't coming back next year, but I didn't tell him that I wanted to stay there all summer. He told Adrian that he could stay there during the summer and just pay the utilities. I told Adrian that I would split the utilities with him, and he said that was fine, the landlord never stopped by anyway. So then Rosa and Zore moved out and stole the bed which ruined everything. The landlord was there all the time with Adrian trying to sort things out and therefore noticed that I hadn't moved out. Adri told him I left on a trip and would move out soon. Well we don't know what made him want to stop by on that particular morning I had just gotten out of the shower but he did. So I was in my room, scared to death and listening to see what he was doing, praying he wouldn't come in. I called Adrian and sent him and text message but he had his phone on silent so he didn't hear it. I heard the landlord walking around, lower the shades in the living room and then I didn't hear anything. I stayed trapped in my room for a while longer trying to hear. I finally convinced myself that he was gone, and if he wasn't I didn't care. So I ventured out to explore and to my relief he was gone. I was so scared and didn't know what to do. Michelle came over, after having been friend deprived for so long and we went to my waxing appointment together and chatted. I got something to eat on the way home and back at home we entered the living to find the landlord sitting there reading the paper!!! I asked him what he was doing there, and he said he was just in his house taking a look around and asked what I was doing there, since he had returned my deposit and that meant that I was no longer living there. I explained that I was a guest of Adrian and had just returned from a long trip, which he didn't buy. I got tired of arguing with him and he said that in a little bit he would wake up Adrian and we would all talk. Michelle went and hid in my room for a while, shocked at what had taken place. After a bit, I moved my laundry to the dryer, called Victor and Michelle and I just left without saying goodbye. We went and saw Michelle's new house she had moved to while I was gone and visited for a while. Then Victor called me and picked me up from Michelles, we stopped by my piso for a last minute laundry fix. There I saw Adrian and he told me that the landlord had woken him up and left me a note on my door. It said that I had to be out by that evening or we could work out a reasonable amout to pay. I grabbed my note and ran downstairs to where Victor was waiting in the car. We went to Los Ogijares for la quick unch with Pepa and Emilio and then back to Granada. Then before 4 we headed to another pueblo in Granada. Nacho had called me while I was in Greece about an English speaking job. Victor had called the people while I was gone and set up an appointment to do it that afternoon, before we headed to the beach. So we went and did that. I was recording the script into English that I had translated earlier in the year. The guy was a friend of Nacho's and really nice and we got the first video done and then took a break. We watched a video Nacho and Raul and a bunch of his friends made as a gag. It was really funny. Then we recorded the second script which went much smoother than the first and then we went home. Back at my place we frantically started shoving stuff into garbage bags and suitcases and carrying it downstairs. So I invaded Pepa's house with all my junk completely unorganized. I thought it was going to be much worse that it was, but since all we had to do was grab everything and since I didn't actually organize anything, it was over pretty quickly. Then I grabbed a bunch of stuff I wanted to take to the beach, including food. Michelle came over and after a crazy day of mayhem we headed to the beach!
