There has been a start on the embroidery on the landscape as you can see from this...
Now for the rant (feel free to scroll down to avoid the entire thing). Apartment life sometimes is a complete and total pain in the derrierre. Monday we received notice that the powers-that-be have decided that the entire building has to be fumigated for cockroaches. I know...yeww...but we haven't seen any in our unit. We have traps in several places so we'd know if there were. We won't mention the area in the building where all such things seem to originate! So.....we have to pull EVERY.SINGLE.PIECE.OF.FURNITURE out from the walls two feet so they can spray behind. We have to remove EVERY.SINGLE.THING out of EVERY.SINGLE.CUPBOARD. We have to vacate the premises for a minimum of six hours during/after the spraying. Oh, did I mention that both RC and I are dealing with sore backs (him from sciatica and compounded by his fall a couple weeks ago). Needless to say we will NOT be moving furniture and have had to throw ourselves at the mercy of the management who have arranged for people to come and move things for us. That will happen Friday...and then we have the weekend to try to get between everything to get to anything. Monday they spray...and then they're supposed to come back to put the furniture back, but no word on when that might happen. Then - there's a good possibility (if they find roaches on our floor/wing) that the entire thing will be repeated in 14 days. Oh, and did I mention we'll be trying to pack to get ready to leave on our trip on Thursday? Ain't no stress in MY life!!!!!
Because of having to spend the entire day yesterday packing everything up and trying to put it somewhere (anywhere!), I'm sorry to say there's only a couple links for you this time. However the first one should keep you amused for quite awhile.
- If you want to see eye candy galore, have a look at the AQS Worldwide Quilt Parade HERE. There just might be two or three of my pieces there! You can also vote for your favourites.
- HERE is an 'awwww' thing and THIS is another one.
Today's quote is from Dede Hawkins..."Never let your heart be so forgiving that it gets comfortable with disrespect"
Arghgh on the apartment life. Timing, all that.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what would have happened had they wanted to do this when we were actually away...who would move all our stuff then? As it is nothing is getting moved back until we return...we won't be here so who cares if there's boxes piled in the middle of the living room floor. One thing this has done is made us realize we need to downsize a lot more!
DeleteOh that is a nightmare scenario for sure!! I hope you get the assistance you need with all of this furniture
ReplyDeletemoving about!! I feel bad for your DH--sciatica is no fun (I had a bout and talk about painful!!) , Sending good thoughts your way for things to get back to normal sooner rather than later!!
I love the grasses growing about the tractor you've added--so perfect!! ;))))
Hugs, Julierose
Waiting for the knock at the door to yield the furniture 'movers'. And yes, DH has had ongoing issues with sciatica and has compounded the pain level with bruising after his fall.
