Thursday sucked. Yesterday was spent massively cleaning the den, the bedroom, the atrium, and then the disaster area that was the living room.
We got up early, had some coffee and proceeded to clean the den. Packed all the loose computer things up, papers and desk things. Dusted the desks, and then were off to Wal-Mart for a few things. Paper towel, garbage bags, lightbulbs. All the fixtures in this place are globes now, they’re ugly, we had no bulbs for them, so we made do with what we had. The lightbulbs we bought, 2 of the 4 were broke in the package.
The atrium, was almost as disgusting as it was last spring when we made the push to make it usable space here. The mildew was starting, the carpet was frozen to the floor, insect corpses, and plant matter was frozen to the frames.. what parts of the carpet that wasn’t frozen, was soaked through from the windows melting. We cleaned that out, got the carpet up, rolled. We had to place the end in a bucket, because of the water draining out. Kev spent most of the afternoon, cleaning the windows and floors in there.
the landlord called today with his 24 hour notice. Hufuckingrah! We get to have a real estate agent come through the apartment tomorrow night RIGHT smack dab at dinner time. A++.
So today was spent scrubbing the kitchen down, K changed all the light fixtures back to the originals, so no stupid potential buyers think they get the good hotness with their busted down piece of crap apartment. I also spent an amount of time cleaning the bathrooms.
All tomorrow leaves us is, picking up the bedroom, putting laundry away, setting out a vibrator and a bottle of lube on the nightstand, picking up the living room a bit, sweeping, vacuuming and mopping. I also might pick the atrium a bit, but I’m not touching the mildew and nastiness that is the windows. That can wait till we move and there is nothing in there.
In other news, today we pretty much finalized the details of our mortgage, so there is nothing really left to do but wait. 22 more days folks.. 22 more days.
well late last night after I went to bed. Paid me probably the biggest compliment I have ever had towards my photography.
Seriously, your stuff is catalog worthy.
I’ve done a bit of nervous laughing about it, and looked into it. I sent out the request for submission guidelines, so I guess we’ll see what getty has to say.
well.. today.. I was looking around on cafepress again, and I clicked the wrong thing. I quite silly like upgraded my basic shop to a 15 day trial premium shop. Now, I could just let it expire, but I would lose all the info and products I’ve already created as there is no “downgrade” possible. So, upgrade I shall. I’ve already updated the look to mostly match Picturing Reality. …miaou!photography will soon follow in a matching look. I will be adding more products over the next couple of weeks, and hopefully this thing will at least pay for itself, if not give me a couple of dollars extra.

They should be fairly pretty. If we can ever get them white*L* We’ve had 8 panels of sheer drapes given to us. They were in the mother in law’s partner’s mother’s apartment. There’s a 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon in there somewhere. Anyhoos, they’re in pretty fabulous shape. No snags, no weirdness. Just very very dirty. They spent the evening soaking in Oxy Clean and soap. They’ve just now gone through 2 treatements of bleaching in the washer, and now they are having a soap wash. I’d really like to be able to keep them, and not use them as temporary measures till we find something better/whatever.
We also got 2 sets of drapes. One is this sort of green/pastels tiny vertical stripes, I strangely am very in love with them. They most likely will match the chair given to us by K’s dad and his girlfriend. Which then will take care of window treatments in the second bedroom. The other set is this very light creamy gold damask silk looking colour. They MIGHT go in the living room. Not sure.
I am fussy to know what I can decorate with, but at the same time, I have no idea of window measurements, wall measurements.. Where exactly I can hang photographs or paintings. 23 days is not happening fast enough.
I just realized I’m not so keen on moving. Why? Because I have to change addresses and things all around the damn city. I swear my bank needs a good solid cockpunch. For the past 4 years they have not been able to get my name right. EVER. Just a short while ago, they were sending my investment statements to some other address! And then they called ME to say someone else was living in my apartment-laughs- and that they were getting my mail. They asked me for an HOUR what my address was, for an HOUR I told them where I lived. Finally they switched me to a different person, and I was like for shits and giggles, could you tell me the address that is listed on your file for me? Because they keep telling me, that I’m giving them the correct address, but if I was, why would my mail be going somewhere else? So buddy #2 reads off the address, and I was like ok. For the the past HOUR, I’ve been telling buddy #1 what my address was, he was confirming that it WAS correct in your file. You should go have a chat with him, because the ADDRESS IS INCORRECT. Freaking asshats.
