it's a bummer, i feel so bad for him and want him not to stress...
i saw him coming up the stairs earlier and i could tell something wasn't right because he always greets me very lovingly...so right off the bat he told me how his business flight to england is delayed because of the icelandic volcano...
lol it was funny because he started off like "DIDN'T YOU HEAR ABOUT THE VOLCANO?!?!?!" and the pants inside my head were shat because i thought there was some apocalyptic shit going down (lol i am not that paranoid, but just yesterday i was talking with some of my friends, and we were all trying to really imagine the end of the world as something that was going to happen very soon)
anyway, i know he takes his work seriously but he was really kinda bugging so i still wasn't sure what was up...
then downstairs he is walking past me and i stop and hug him and he resists and tries to keep going and says "if you are trying to annoy me, don't. i am really stressed right now" and i stopped him again and hugged him harder and said "i'm not"
then he tells me that our old house's last two renters are both threatening to sue...
though we (dad, mom, me) did have a good lol-session because the two old renters are both lawyers and that is hilariously unfortunate and because a fucking VOLCANO is fucking up his flight...
but both are trying to sue for douchebag reasons...
one stayed at the house for an extra 6 days and he wants those 6 days of rent back for some reason...
the other, who has consistently been a pain in the ass, has a few different things he is threatening to sue over...he said it was dangerous and unfit because there was a flying squirrel living in the attic...my parents had a dude come and catch em though. also, he is having the local health district come over and check out the house for mold/mildew as he says he suffered illnesses because of the house...he also complained about mice so my parents hired Terminex to go in and do their thang...
my poor dad is stressing...he's such a great guy, i feel so bad...i think i'm gonna go to the old house soon and clean up the property a bit...any other ideas on things i can do to help and surprise him?
i tried to say something and he immediately interrupted and said "don't try to advise me on not stressing out" (me and my mom had a good lol at that one too---my mom is bugging out but fortunately she has the attitude of a 12 year old so she can still laugh and not be overwhelmed by stress)
the funny thing though, is that stress is 100% irrational to a mind aware enough...it serves a purpose as it can motivate us to do some thangs to survive...but as i once read you don't need to be scared of a fire to not get burned, you just need to some common sense/awareness...
this stress is so outside of the moment and irrational. its not doing anything constructive, just destructive. though he could use it to motivate himself to do what he needs to do to clean the situation up, its not necessary.
at least i'm not stressed i was giving him all the love i could give (though i am a very TIGHT and TENSE person, and i have an emotional block/chest chakra block that really prevents me from loving/feeling thangs)
thanks for reading, if you did.
