Hi, Kay,

I am really happy to see your update and know that you and your husband and the cats successfully made the move.

I am glad that you are going to be practical about the cleaning in the morning -

--- do what you can and not any more than you should.

I wish many blessings for you in the new place.

I was at the old apartment for almost 6 hours cleaning yesterday and couldn't finish... it was the work behind and under the stove and fridge that really killed me. I had to scrub the floor and walls by hand. I took pictures when I was done.

Thank God I cleaned the oven a week (or so) ago, and cleaned the fridge recently or I would really be screwed. All the things I was working away at on my "moving-soon" list amounted to less than a drop in the bucket because everything at least needed to be touched up.

The problem is not my OCD right now. The problem is I'm handicapped and banged up from moving Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I'm slow, and even the little things are taking me a lot of time.

I'm going to jump in the shower and head back over there again this morning. I've made a list of what needs to be done by priority, and I don't have to do the same kind of cleaning as yesterday, so things should go much faster. I was going to shampoo the carpets, but I don't think I will end up doing that. I don't think I would have time to finish, and it would not be worth the effort, since they will be pulling them up anyway.

I have until noon.

By now you are finished with your old place....
Yeah!!!!!!
now you can rest your tired body, maybe take a nap later?
Good job working so hard. I know that you are sore from all of the work you did on your hands and knees...sigh
I wish you guys would have hired a cleaning lady...oh well.
It is done!
And I am sure you turned in your keys by now.
Happy for you that that part is done.
You were smart to make check lists along the way and kept up with the things that needed to get done.
Bravo!
Hope you sleep well tonight.

Wow, Kay,

You accomplished so much -- cleaning the place two or three times

Getting your stuff moved and getting husband to throw out some old things.

Getting the cats settled . . .

Are you used to sleeping in the new place yet? Even though the bed is the same, I have to get used to a new sleeping situation.



Do you like the neighborhood and the view from your windows?

I got to the old place at about 7:30 yesterday morning, and I brought 2 iced coffees with me lol

The move-out instructions said that cleaning the appliances, the kitchen and bathroom were particularly important, so that's where I focused almost all of my energy. I kept hearing your "voices" in my head telling me that things didn't have to be perfect, so I just did what I could with x, y, and z then moved on to the next task. I was still SO SLOW tho. What a ****ing pipe dream shampooing the carpets was!!! SOOOO MANY cabinets/shelves/drawers to clean... I didn't even get to clean the window sill, never mind wash the blinds, in the master bedroom before I ran out of time, and I really regret that. I wish I had showed up earlier or stayed later Monday so I could have done it. I just finished by the skin of my teeth.

BUT IT'S OVER.

I did take a nap when I got home. It was the first opportunity I've had to take one in a while. Corey had a really hard time getting me up. I haven't had any trouble sleeping here, but it may be because I've been ****ing exhausted.

I fell 3 times yesterday, and am in super-rough shape today. EVERYTHING hurts, I threw my neck out AGAIN, and I'm covered in bruises. But, of course, I have a lot to do today.

I need to do laundry (not in the shape I'm in now tho), go to Walmart, and do some light food shopping, but my car is packed with **** because Corey is back to being lazy. I can't carry the things that are in there, especially in the shape I'm in right now. He said he expects to be done bringing everything in "by the end of the week."

I think Corey is in love with the apartment now. It's definitely an upgrade. It will only get better once I'm able to unpack more (of course I'll be the one doing the unpacking) and we can settle in. The view from the deck is very pretty and we sit out there in the evenings, smoking cigarettes occasionally. We never sat out on the patio in the old apartment. it was below ground.

It pains me to hear that you fell 3 times and hurt your neck.
and that you are bruised.
(((((GENTLE hugs)))))

I'm so happy you love the apartment. Also make Corey unpack his things.
He can do at least this.

When it comes to laundry, try doing one load of things you just have to have when you can.
Do rest as time goes on. Its okay if it gets backed up.

Yikes about the falls. I hope that you are healing well.

Big job cleaning the old place! I am glad to hear that it is over.

Wonderful to hear that you enjoy the deck together.


Did we get an update on the kitties? (Maybe I missed it) How are
they in the new place?
