THUR 03/12/26: DAILY LOG - Other Notes...

• cleaned bath and vacuumed, mopped housewide floors

• Organized waiting Quickbooks work

• Inputted latest Quickbooks work ensuring that all invoices/bills/etc. From the previous month had been completed so that ACCT could begin his work

• Assisted with TOMMY shaving/cutting of hair 

• Assisted with TOMMY cleaning and rebandaging of recent surgical wounds

• Had moment with TOMMY. I was engaged in office with headphones on, working on audio projects and doing benchmark/game testing/stress testing of hardware. Heard distant banging and thought it was from within the stress test/3D scene I was rendering. Went on for five minutes till I realized it was TOMMY. Opened door and claimed I had not heard due to headphones.
  
  He was in need of having his bandages changed in advance of the morrows doctor appointment. While bandaging, he claimed that he was about to “break the door down” because he didn’t know if I had had a stroke or was somehow incapacitated.
  
  This was immediately alarming as there is no need for him to think such things but it’s also not an exaggeration as he would do just that. So I am re drafting the nuances of tenant landlord law that clearly define periods when a forced entry scenario is okay.
  
  I told him that there may be times when I’m in my room working or otherwise engaged for days at a time and that he would be out of bounds to do something like breaking the door to my private space if I did not answer calls/knocks within a couple hours.  The law clearly supports this and I’ve cited it to him on numerous occasions.
  
  He is having frequen skin surgery for cancerous lesions and is in a high state of need in regards with assistance to the dressing and redressing of the recovering surgical sites which I am happily assisting him with.
  
  But this does not preclude the inappropriateness of believing he can “break down the door” when his tenant simply does not answer for two or three hours, even a day. Said tenant is busy, in other words and I also calmly informed him that the correct thing to do would be to phone me because even though I may be involved in a personal project, I would  nonetheless answer my phone. Especially understanding the distress he’s currently in and with obvious need for physical assistance with his recovering surgical sites. Again, something I am very happy, even proud to do.
  
  But I have to present legally /presentable/ data before things progress to a critical point, for instance, him literally breaking down my door because I do not answer it due to having noise cancelling headphones on, working or otherwise engaged at times for up to 8 to 10 hours at a time.

• Furthermore, I’ve made plans to stay Friday through Sunday with a friend so as to give him a bit of space and to “brute force” the point that there are times when I am simply unreachable.
