delightful!
Jul. 29th, 2010 12:51 amI went to get the almost last load of crap and do some cleaning out of the old place after Z got home from work, and suck ensued. 1st, there's a note from Mr. Landlord, "you have to have this place cleaned out by Friday at noon! this is serious, etc etc" and I was under the impression we had til saturday night. whatever, small suck, we can knock it out by friday, no problem, I'm thinking, and then be DONE!!!! except, and heres the great part, the electric company somehow misunderstood, and apparently cancelled service at the old house when it switched over to here, even though I requested to keep it in our name til the 31st. So, we had no lights. and, uh, there was still stuff in my fridge. So, all I could accomplish before total dark enveloped the house was to grab most of the rest of our stuff from the upstairs, because I could not see shit in the basement. I even tried to tap into the neighbors electric, but their outside outlet wasn't working, and I forgot you have to reset the outside ones.
So, I pretty much have tomorrow to get the place cleaned out. I may have a sitter during the day, so I can kick some ass without the kids, and when Z gets off work he'll come help til it gets dark, and I'm going to see who else I can round up, but if we haven't stolen power by then, me and the kids will be hauling ass over there early friday morning to finish it up.
Right after I posted about the mellowness and friendliness of the new place, there was a like 5 cop car disturbance across the road, and then a kid being taken home by the police, and kids fighting out front that same day. so its an interesting neighborhood. I haven't had much time to chill and talk to the new neighbor/old friend, and she seems to still have some drama, but I have gotten good at staying out of peoples drama over the years, so it don't confront me none if she has drama.
In better news, the washer and dryer are here and working! and I've gotten some of the art and such hung, so it feels even more ours. and as of friday at noon, I'm done with the old place, no matter what, so I can fucking relax and enjoy the shiny new place and finish unpacking/organizing.
