Frustration

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

Welcome back!

My husband packs things.

When we need to do a clean up in our apartment, his idea of cleaning involves packing things into boxes, and then cramming them into the closet.

We now have little portable drawers on wheels with three drawers to put glues, paints, papers, pens, and pencils. What does he do? He crams things into boxes and I have to tell him that it is not the right thing to do when we have the drawer cabinet.

Frustration is getting him to put things into their proper location instead of cramming. OY VEY.

Tired

Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

Been doing a lot of packing.

We are both tired as all getout. My husband has been having chest pains and that does limit what can be done.

We still do not have a deadline to aim for. This is really beginning to get to me.

and waiting…

Monday, September 27th, 2010

Yes, we are still waiting to hear about the ‘move’.

Of course right now, I am glad that we are waiting since we have so much junk to go through and get rid of when I think about it that is. I hope that when they do the renovation on this apartment they put in new bathroom faucets and kitchen faucets. The one in the bathroom is so corroded that it is ugly.

It would be nice to actually have a deadline to work for, but not knowing makes it maddening.

Still waiting

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Remember how I mentioned the up coming move at our apartment complex.

We are still waiting. I have no idea when this will be accomplished. I wish that we could just take our belongings, move to our own home, and forget about it. I would be nice if we had the money to pay for someone else to pack our stuff, move it and then unpack for us, so we could forget about all of the hassle.

Relocate…

Friday, August 13th, 2010

I’ve thought about relocating, but the going rate on apartments right now is out of sight.

Where we are staying, the rent is based on the income of each renter. Otherwise, the rents would be over $500 for even a dump. We have wondered about getting steel buildings to put all of our stuff in, but since it is really hot right now, that would be a bad idea. Everything would be melted, or…..

I have to have air-conditioning, so does my husband, so living in a steel building is not the brightest idea for us, unless it was extremely insulated. Even then, we would have to have a lot to put it on. We will keep packing, anyway.

Saving money

Friday, August 13th, 2010

You know, if the apartment manager is smart, she will buy stuff at wholesale prices. At least that way she will be saving lots of money. It is bad enough that there will be a bunch of workers that will need to be paid.

Well, for them it isn’t bad since that means that they will be earning a living and being able to pay for their families and stuff, but the cost of having do 32 complete apartments has got to be amazing. Think about it. Paint x 32, electrical x 32, doors x 32, water heaters x 32, stoves x 32……

Glad I’m not paying that bill. Wish that we did not have to pack to get it done though.

Leaks

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Not at all what we need right now. I think that one of the faucets in the bathroom might be leaking and it definitely shows some corrosion.

The apartment complex will be undergoing renovation sometime, but I do not think that they will be using Kohler kitchen faucets or bathroom faucets anywhere in the complex. Usually those things are gotten in lots for more than just one apartment at a time.

I am still feeling grumpy about all of the ruckus that is going on with people having to pack and all of our routines getting upset.

Forgot

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Remember in a previous blog how I talked about insurance?

I forgot one ! What else is new. :)

I forgot to mention rv insurance. I wish that we had an RV. Then instead of having to pack and be shuffled around, we would just put stuff in the RV and then go where we did not have to be concerned about needing to pack.

Of course, I know that we are pack rats (that’s one of the things that makes packing harder). So, the RV would eventually need to be emptied out, but that would be on OUR schedule.

Nuttin Much

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Well since the last time that I wrote something, nothing much has happened.

In other words, the computer is finally co-operating in not shutting off as much. It was about to drive me crazy there for a while. Now, if nothing much is going on, my screen saver likes to kick in. That I do not mind as much since I set it for a short waiting period since I like to watch the pipes grow.

In the neighborhood, not much is going on except for people packing their stuff for the big renovation that is coming. I am not looking forward to that at all.

Time to work

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

I thought that when the apartment inspection wsa over, that we could rest for a couple of days.

Nope, still need the work gloves. Evidently we have to pack up everything here for when they are going to paint, and do other stuff for the apartment.

It is frustrating to me because I do not get enough rest as it is. I would dearly enjoy being able to wave a wand and have everything do its own packing while I watched and guided it all.

AIN’T going to happen. PHOOEY :(
