Not Soon Enough....

Wow... This move couldn't come soon enough. Monday, I woke up tp NO water. That's right. Absolutely no running water anywhere. No flushing the toity, no washing the hands (thank GOD for Purell disinfectant stuff), no shower, nothing! Didn't get around to cooking, cuz ew no way was I gonna cook without a proper hand washing with y'know wet WATER! Didn't get to packing, cuz I was waiting to shower and busy calling the fucking moron we call the landlady. She forgot to pay the water bill.

We got water about 430-5pm. Okay, flushing and hand washing is good... Everythings hunkydory.... I'm irked and didn't get around to do the dishes until like 2-3am when what do I find out? There's no HOT water. Well, I dunno about you, I wash dishes in hot water. Mom's gotta get up in an hour to shower.... So I go outside in the wee hours to see if I cna turn up the water heater. No good. Lots of calling from a now awake Mom to the landlady's cell phone (which we got from the water company).

Obviously nothing could be done then. She showers in icy water cuz she's got no choice... I go to bed hoping there'll be hot water when I wake. Not the case. After a while of waiting for it to get fixed as promised I finally have to shower myself. Didn't even wash my hair so's not to stand in the cold water too long. Had to come out and thaw for a bit before even starting to pack or do stuff.

Hot water got turned on about 5pm. For our inconvenience, we were told to take off 25 dollars from our 825 rent. Ooooo... yeah, that'll make up for it. ~rolls eyes~ We get some bullshit excuse that she went away on business and neglected to pay it on time. BULLSHIT! They shut off crap after a couple warnings! And as I know she hasn't been out of town THAT long, that means that bitch and her asshole husband don't know what the fuck they are doing.

Needless to say as with now, last nght I was tired... physically and emotionally, that I stopped working. Why emotionally exhausted? Lotsa emotions. Excitement at the move, relief at finally found a place, anger/irritation at the current landowners, and just overall overwhelming feelings on account of all the packing and arrangements we're trying to make. I can't wait til next week. Yes, lots of unpacking... But we'll have moved our stuff. Utillities will have been set up. No more shit from landowners... Just time to breathe.

And wow, this update wan't meant to be nearly so long. Just a bit of venting I guess... Well It woke me up some. Had a long day of packing after not as much sleep (unscheduled help came over before even my alarm was to go off - no complaints on that tho!). Nana is a packing wizard.. or a speed demon for packing at any rate. ANYwho, lots got done today. Now lots more to do (labeling and more organizing of the boxes Nana packed.. she was too fast to keep up with). Not to mention a kitchen that still needs doing.
