rough edges
Jun. 27th, 2017 10:22 pmThe condo has a broken stove, we found when we visited yesterday. I am curious how one puts so many cracks in stove porcelain that one creates a hole in it. Also, the bathroom is a bit trashed, and will probably need more remodeling than I was planning, since the sink porcelain is cracked and the shower between the tub and the surround appears to be coated in rust. It is useable, so it is low priority. I ordered a new stove, and my painter/handyman is going to put in an electrical outlet for the new electric "pilot" start, so that's taken care of. We will only go a day or so without a stove, and that's completely do-able.
The foster cats are all back at the SPCA, and they promise I will get my two back tomorrow, so we can take them with us to Michigan when we move. The dogs are currently boarding so they can sit out the drama of box transport, and so I don't lose them out the door at 40 mph. They are still fast and the packing and the loss of our two aged felines have left them quite stressed.
The movers will come tomorrow to take away our belongings. I have labeled almost everything to go to storage. Having used only what was left unpacked for the past month, I realize that we can live with so much less than I had imagined. The boxes I have labeled for storage will be slowly sorted through and donated to the various charities which can find uses for them. The hard part in that is my oldest, who tends to cling to objects. Adventures in parenting will open a new chapter yet again!
