It was supposed to massively snow but we got like the TINIEST dusting that you really could only see on the roofs.

Hey I have gotten a bunch of practice lately calling all kinds of people as an advocate for other people regarding lots of different circumstances – if you would like assistance I am happy to call your landlord on your behalf as your advocate.

Thanks, it really is. I just keep randomly grinning like mad as I sit by myself in my house.

You are so kind! I appreciate the offer so much. I am still wrapping my head around if now is the right time to have a dog, even though I know my heart is ready, I want to make sure I have all of the time and energy necessary to give the dog the best home.

Does this fall under the ADA (I.e. you have a prescription for a dog/ animal)? If so, the landlord may have to accept you getting a support animal.

I think it does/arguably does. All the landlord help sites definitely advise people not to fight it.

That is what I was thinking, while being too lazy to look up anything. I would think the landlord would be able to insist upon an additional (maybe non refundable) damage deposit.

I believe so, but it doesn’t diminish the anxiety of having to bring it up, I think it more the topic. Correct me if I am way off @mountainmustache29

Understood. I’m here if you decide you want to take me up on the offer. I love doing it, actually.

Yeah, it’s really just bringing it up that gives me anxiety. I have no doubt that my very nice landlady would be willing to at least have a conversation about it, but I have a hard time imagining even broaching the subject with her because of my own weird things about asking for things that I need.

Could you do it on someone else’s behalf?
My therapist gave me the homework of asking for small things for myself, even if I had to pretend it was for someone else. Asking for extra sauce with my meal or something tiny like that, where the chance of a negative response was low. Sometimes I got a negative response and it didn’t kill me. Not dying made it easier. More often it was no big deal and it made it gradually more possible to self advocate.
I’m still really really bad at speaking up for myself but I used to be so much worse.

All gifts that need to be shipped boxed and ready…now I just have to get them to the post office (soon because one box has batteries and perfume in it, and neither of those is supposed to go air mail)
