Good Monday, Aug.25/08, Morning! ..& The Rest of The Story!
(well.... all I am prepared to "share" at this time)
Coffee is Ready! Help Yourself!
Time & Temp. from Toronto, Ontario, Canada is:......
I am home today and can ya tell?....heading for 4:00 a.m. and I can'y sleep, up since 2:20 a.m.,...... so am doing laundry!!!!!!!!!
I have no idea where to start my "tale of woe".......BUT I will say it started in April 03, 1993<<<(day one of possession here)......and it just finished Aug. 15th./08 (well technically it won't be finished until Feb. 28/09....but that is another "tale" all on it's own!) The last few months we have been in & out of court with law suits...they still owe me nearly $2000 for damage caused to my Oldsmobile and I still have not totally compiled the list of "contents" from our on-site locker they took upon themselves to toss BeCAUSE they said it was abandoned!!!
!!!!
!!!! We were not the only ones that had their "life tossed"......so we are all suing!!!!
Anyway....we are moving and in the last 2 days.....I have packed in the area of 47 "cube"-sized boxes......size = 15&1/2"x 13"x 18"!!! I bet I have another 50 to do too! We have 2 apartments to "sort, toss/purge, pack & empty"! Neither apartment do we have to empty by/at/on the same date, so we do have some lee-way there.......one OR both,... we have set a goal for sure by Feb. 28/09, to be gone from this apartment complex!
Praise The Lord!!!!!!!
It is amazing what you can accummulate in 40 years of marriage along with living in one place for 15 years! Ya get sooooo in the groove of what ya need and what "is nice to have around"......BOY!........am I travelin' light....the next time!!!!!
Anyway.......that is what I have been doing........my own groups are failing because of it BUT as "Ol Blue Eyes" once said.......
We have rented a townhouse/southern exposure....nice, clean, bright, newly sanded hardwood floors, 1 & 1/2 bathrooms, full basement with laundry tubs,(basement not finished but soon will be!.....),HUGE eat-in kitchen, large living room/dining room, 3 bedrooms, washer, dryer, frig. & stove,(& I think a dishwasher; if NOT I have one),.....& best of all.......a gorgeous fenced-in-gated/locked back yard area WITH GRASS.....for "The Ladies".
We get possession on Sept. 12th.
I am very excited....I meet with my client/Friend today,... to see about carpet for the Master and stair runners.
AND......now I can have people over and not be embarrassed by all the stinking smells of food cooking in the hallways OR the kids playing soccer/basketball in the lobby, forcing guests to dodge the balls, no police raids kicking in neighbours doors, because they are dealing drugs, no hookers' stabbing "johns" at the back door of the building, (we have a mother/daughter team that work the area!)......all this for just over $2200 per month rent.........WANT SOME?.....grrrrrrrrrrrr
Anyway.....that is what has been keeping me "outta the pool-halls & off the street corners".....along with my business is going nuts too! (The rental agent where we got the townhouse has hired us to clean her new place!!!!!!)
Have a great day.....
