Apartment Shenanigans
Aug. 30th, 2015 07:40 pmUGH apartment moving might be stalled. I went to check on the move-in date, whether JC and I can move in earlier. NO, apparently someone say a cockroach in there, and so the leasing office wants to give the apartment a "treatment" which would take about a month. A MONTH!! I said no. When's the earliest I can move in. So Quan, the agent dealing with us, said two weeks. STILL! In two weeks shit starts for school! So she said, wait 'til the owner gets here, to check it out, and they'll make the final decision Monday.
Monday is the 31st! It's the day we're supposed to move out. JC leaves on the 2nd, even. So now I'm on tenterhooks, waiting to see WHEN, exactly, I get to move in. I've already called AT&T and Utilities on the understanding that my services will get started on the 1st. I don't understand why this is even such a fucking problem?? I've NEVER had problems like this before. What even!
And, SIGH, cleaning up and preparing to pack is revealing all sorts of things I wish I didn't know.
- There was a family of SPIDERS underneath the middle bookshelf. You know, that little ball of webbing for spider eggs. And when I went to blow it out of my house (I don't like having to kill the things), the babies immediately proved their readiness to explore the big blue world by popping out and walking towards me.
- There was a lizard living underneath my bookshelf. Probably feeding on the spiders. I got it into a cup and got it out. It actually let me pet it a couple of times before running off into the leaves.
- There have been some sort of wood-boring bugs going through my herbal roots (which I use for soups). The holes are pretty visible. And interesting.
- The same bugs, probably, love cumin so much they ate through the plastic bag. That was REALLY unexpected.
I've moved the remaining herbs into the glass jars I've been saving up for some reason, which is pretty great, but man, I need a better, more efficient way of arranging my crap. How does one deal with deep pantry cabinets? I'm very much an "out of sight, out of mind" person when it comes to stuff it seems...
