there were just a few bugs in the kale. the teeny ones with even teenier legs. they belong there, that's where they live... but if boy finds just ONE in his soup, he'll freak out. so i rinsed and soaked and rinsed some more, drowning all the wee buglets.
I called Neighborhood Services today. They're the people in my city who take care of landlord-tenant complaints. I should get a call and, hopefully, a visit from the Housing Inspector soon. I also called the apartment management and reported my mold problem and the unrepaired leak/clog today. Once again, they promised to fix it. I'm not holding my breath.
Well, I'm holding it while I creep into my former bedroom to take pictures and mold samples. Last night I moved stuff out of the spare room and moved the bed in there. I dismantled the guest bed and put it in the dry half of my former bedroom. I also moved some plastic bins of books in there--taking care to put bags of activated charcoal in with each bin.
This is such a nightmare. I hope the Housing Inspector has some wise words other than "move, now." I'm trying to move--looking at apartments in cville, trying to get ahold of friends down there for advice in finding a good location, talking to my parents about retrieving my (grandma's) car... I think this will all be resolved by Samhain or Yule. I hope it's resolved by Thanksgiving, if Samhain is too optimistic.
And today I threw some curtains in the washer. No big deal, right? Well, there were some spider nests on it. I feel guilty. Yes, I'm terrified of spiders. No, they're not even born yet. Still, I feel guilty. Ah, well. The curtains need cleaning and there are plenty of other spiders left in the apartment.
So it goes. A not-quite-so-anonymous benefactor has generously paid for my subscription. I'd like to thank this wonderful person here. YOU ROCK! I can't wait until the day when I can spread the love, too. :) I'm looking forward to it.
Meanwhile, the Tea Party is greatly improving my mood and energy level, so I'm going to go check on dinner.
