The Housing Saga Continues

Tweet

Grumpy I am today. Always am when it comes to HOUSING. This morning, I was brought still another memo from Housing. Housing will have another bug spraying service done on December 23rd. (That's two days before Christmas). I called maintenance and was redirected and then redirected again to the apartment manager. Is this going to be an ongoing thing? She told me that they will be continuing this spraying until the bugs are gone. (I don't blame them) She went on to explain how the bugs can get through to the other apartments yadda yadda yadda. I fully understand all of that. (They haven't seen any in our apartment, thank the gods!) She thanked me for calling. I felt like thanking her for actually answering the phone this time, but I did not. I just get aggravated because we just put all the stuff back in order and here is another memo. It takes us a while to do all this moving around. We don't get up and after it until the afternoon. Josh has to do it mostly and moving furniture and heavy bags is not easy for him. It's not like we have big, brawny family members or friends we can call on. It's just two old broken-down arthritic women and a skinny young man that's not that strong. So, it gets old really quick. We have to bag pots and pans, dishes, and silverware and carry them upstairs. (Fixing meals is really fun during this time too.) Then move three pieces of heavy old furniture into the middle of the living room. Move it out of the way of the base boards into the middle of the room, then move it back, then move it out again, On and on now since early November about every other week. 4 times now. I hate being disrupted. We will have to put the turkey in a bag too. We take it out the 23rd to thaw. Ugh! Go away bugs! The picture is from my collection.
