So I’ve been at my new place now for over a week.  You would think that I would be all settled in, right?!  Wrong.  Allow me to share a little story with you:

Two Fridays ago, we signed the contract for the apartment and were given the keys (*insert singing angel chorus here*) .  However, when we were signing the contract, our landlord told us that the following Thursday (which would have been just a few days ago) they were going to be spraying for bugs.  Inside the apartment.  This meant that we had to have all of our items taken out of the cupboards, every item in the kitchen put into a pile in the middle of the floor and covered up, and all of our baseboards ready to be sprayed.  We decided that it wasn’t too far off (only six days, right!?), so we just wouldn’t unpack the majority of the kitchen items, and basically live out of boxes for a week.

(You may be wondering why this wasn’t done before we moved in?  Well.  They have done this in a series of three spays for the entire complex.  So I suppose we should count our blessings that we have only been here for one, unlike all of our neighbors who have had to deal with this THREE times!)

Come Wednesday, we still hadn’t heard any details about the spray.  We call our landlord.  He said the spray was actually happening on Friday.  He had told us wrong.  Okay.  One more day….no big deal.  Later that evening, we get a call saying that one of the tenants is too sick to leave the apartment during the spray (the fumes are toxic), so they will have to reschedule it.

Are you freaking kidding me?!?  I mean, I feel bad that person is sick, but I’ve been sick of living out of boxes!  My kitchen is like my baby!!

Thursday rolls around, and I decide to actually unpack the kitchen.  Who knows when the spray will be rescheduled?

Friday we get a call saying the spray has been rescheduled for Monday.  Again: are you kidding me?!  I *just* spent all that time organizing my precious kitchen!  Not to mention we’ll be out of town most of the weekend for the Superbowl.

So, we stayed up late last night taking everything out of our cupboards and it felt like I was unpacking my kitchen again.  I was NOT a happy camper.  I spent this morning covering up everything, and I think/hope/pray that it’s covered up well enough and that I won’t get sick from toxic bug spray junk.  I also hope that all the other stuff that I *didn’t* spend time unpacking on Thursday isn’t in their way.

*SIGH*  I am SO ready for this to be over and to have my kitchen back!  And to be able to actually unpack, legitimately!!

Anyway.  Thanks for letting me vent.  If you read this whole thing, you’re a rock star.

How to Keep a Windshield Crack from Spreading by A Night Owl (On Lil’ Luna)
The last car I had didn’t get one crack in the windshield the entire time I owned it – which was for about 6 years.  Then, I got a new car, and I’ve only had it for 6 months and it already has FOUR chips in it!!  It must have something to do with the angle…
