This is what I hope will be my last communication with the landlord. And it’s too late for more writing so it’s also today’s Screed. I didn’t send him the attached picture, but I’m sure he’ll discover it soon enough. He didn’t like the last garage message and I bet he’ll like this one even less. He particularly won’t like that I added all 3 garage messages images to Google Maps. I didn’t mean the account changes as notice specifically, but yes, we are out.

These are always so hard for me to start again once I get more than a couple of days deep. But let’s give it a shot. The second one will be easier after this one gets out. Since last episode I finished moving.

This is from last week. I didn’t think it was a Screed when I sent it, but it’s good writing and I want to give you the feels. It’s also a callback to the early days, when this channel was mostly things I wrote to a specific “you” and only later decided to share. — It’s easy for people from our neighborhood to feel like the thing they need to be secure is some sort of proof that the good relationships they have now will last forever unchanged.
