Pain

I was worried that my weekend snow shoveling would result in pain and it has. This isn't muscle pain from exertion so much as it is kidney stone movement. I'm taking two extra strength acetaminophen tablets every 5 hours. I got up at 4:30 AM to take more because the pain kept me awake. Because I wanted to avoid this pain I had asked management for some help and they refused. This pain was preventable, but management has no compassion and for some reason wants to continue to act like a bully, even though they know that I am documenting their actions in photos and words in this blog for their current and prospective tenants to see.

But my concern, on this first day of moving things to my storage unit, is how I will manage the pain and the daily dragging, lifting, carrying and pushing perhaps 200 heavy items over the next 13 days. The task seems daunting for a woman my age. Last year when I moved in to this apartment I said I would never again do all the moving myself. I intended to stay in this apartment for a long time... at least until I could get my life back on track and start to earn income again so I could afford to hire movers. Sadly, I can't stay where I'm treated so badly, and without income I am once again in a position where I have to depend on myself to move my things.

Landmark Square Apartments has taught me that if you ask for something completely within reason in Erie Pennsylvania you will not only be refused, or ignored, but treated like dirt for asking. What will drive me from now on is knowing that I am getting away from mean-spirited people.

I'd appreciate any prayers you can offer to reduce this pain so I can get through the next two weeks.
