House Update

[mizarchivist]

I wrote to our landlord on April 30 informing him we were leaving and would he consider extending our lease to month to month since we'd been thus far failing to find anything for the last 2 months. I prompted him over the weekend to see if he'd gotten the note. He said he'd consider it. Last night he came back with the answer of no. We can either renew our lease, or leave as planned on June 14. I'd gamed this out for a long time, so I was disappointed, but not surprised. I paid my anxiety tax in advance and now I'm just ready to get. shit. done.

Since finding out:

• We viewed a house that smelled like wet smoked dog in W Medford, that had a top floor only fit for hobbitses.


• Determined yes, get a pod. Hopefully that will be delivered / picked up by tomorrow.


• Filled 5 boxes of DVDs.


• Plans to start repainting this weekend.


• Heard from agent about Dream House of Unicorns: credit checks done. Hoping the owner will have time to do the next step today.

From here on out between now and June 14:

• Just about all social engagements for the next month are default "no" for now. Unless social is to come over to our house and help us pack a box. Or paint a wall.


• Yes, we will take more boxes.


• If anyone has been aching to entertain a busy toddler for a few hours, particularly Saturday/Sunday afternoons or Sunday mornings, YES PLEASE, come take him to the park while the adults do the above-mentioned.

The kid starts school in a week and a day. I foresee taking a few days off after that to GET IT DONE while he's in school.

We have boxes 'pon boxes, but I can't promise delivery...

Thank you!

[mizarchivist]

I think we can probably do a drive-by if need be. I'll ping you or Bey if/when that happens.

Let me see what we've got for boxes

There are still a bunch of good-quality boxes in our garage I think. I will also talk with K about kid-wrangling. Unfortunately, he has not even started writing his thank-you cards and really seriously needs to do so.

I might try to make a run down to you guys Saturday AM if only to drop off boxes. K will be at a classmate's bar mitzvah but I might have L with me.

good luck on Dream House of Unicorns!

[mizarchivist]

Thanks- It'll be epic if it happens.

We might be able to provide some childcare (although it will be easier if you can bring him to us).

[mizarchivist]

Yeah? I will keep that in mind. Of course it makes sense that you'd want to be on your turf. Thank you. I'll let you know in email when I can wrap my head around it.

Yeah, its a dragon...

But I don't have an unicorn icon.

Good luck and I hope that you hear something soon.

To the next adventure.

Our infinities appear to be getting smaller. Keeping the fingers crossed. Thanks.

Good luck on unicorn dream house.

And screw that landlord dude. He's been a PITA since you guys got in there.

I'm not sure what help I can offer, but if there's some day that I'm at loose ends and can come help you do something or other, I'll let you know.

[mizarchivist]

Yeah, he's definitely not going to be missed.

I/we definitely appreciate any help you have to offer.

I can help on house painting if you need help during the week. My currently unemployed status (or as Rick says, I'm a "lady of leisure") means i have a lot of availability during the week.

[mizarchivist]

Does that involve a lot of glitter?!

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

If you want it to. ;-) Unicorns are helpful that way.
