magyar_samanWe're moved in. Finished up cleaning at the old place Sunday. Now we're waiting to get a hold of the lawyer to turn the keys in; we've called and called and nobody has answered.
Shriveled old lady thinks we're paying lot rent for July and I have news for her: We were out on the 30th. We slept in our new digs on the 30th. The only reason anyone was back at that house on the 1st was to make sure the standard of cleaning complied with our court agreement.
She can kiss my royal ass.
Both M and I are in pretty rough shape. It's mostly physical but there's some mental, too. We have a sea of boxes but I'm sure after a few days rest we'll be able to start unpacking. I've already gotten some little stuff out and into cabinets.
We're waiting for them to turn on the gas; in the meantime, very short, cold showers are the the order of the day. BRISK! Good thing we have a microwave or we wouldn't be able to cook at all.
Furbabies are all doing well and liking their new digs.
The repairmen still have some work to do but for the most part we're doing okay.

Date: 2012-07-04 11:00 am (UTC)I also spoke briefly to the manager at the other park who damned near sneered at me over the phone because we didn't scrub anything down (the word "filth" was used). Well, "broom clean" means you don't scrub anything down. We couldn't even vacuum because of the mold which was stirred up enough by just moving stuff (and believe me, I'm still coughing a bit from that).
We dropped the keys off at her lawyer's office, which was considered more of a symbolic gesture than anything because they will naturally change the locks. Doesn't matter to me, I have no intention of going anywhere near the place except to possibly visit with JR and his family who happen to live two doors down.
Leaving there has taken a tremendous load off us both. The staff here is a lot friendlier and certainly not as much of a Nazi about the state of things. Believe me, there are lots that need quite a bit of "rehabilitation"; they aren't going to bother us if I don't get up landscaping anytime soon. They're also doing a great job of getting repairs made.
Yes, it's funky. Yes, this house is old - I'm estimating it was built in the late 80s or 90s, because there's still quite a bit of the "faux paneling" around. However, we are not beholden to a crook, nor do we have a grizzled old lady breathing down our necks. We are not being exposed to toxic mold, nor are we having problems with doors.
I wasn't too thrilled about the swamp cooler, but I'm getting used to it and I have a "turbo" fan coming in from Amazon which will do a fantastic job of moving more of the cool air into the living room proper.
I am already far happier here than I ever was at the old place.
Hugs,
