Drive-by greetings!
Dec. 24th, 2012 12:28 pmJust popping in quick, borrowing my mother's internet, to wish everyone a very happy whatever you celebrate! Here in Denmark the 24th is when all the fun happens, so today's the day! I'm just hanging out at my mother's until we haul ourselves and the truckload of gifts further North where my sisters are already waiting. An evening of family interaction ahead, like every year. Let's hope nobody cries this year. It's always something like a 50/50 risk.
Moving of all my stuff happened Thursday with a surprising lack of fuss. Apart from me falling on my ass in the snow and somehow managing to forget to pack ALL MY CLOTHES, everything went off without a hitch. Pea came to the new house Friday and had only a single (but violent) meltdown before he apparently accepted the change and just went with it.
There is one major issue with the new place, though. As I've mentioned before, I'm pretty sure a hoarder lived there. Whatever the case, the previous occupants were clearly evicted, and they left the place an absolute mess. Despite reassurances from the super that everything had been fixed... it hasn't. I keep finding nasty nasty stuff in corners here and there, and the fleas I'd been warned about were not an exaggeration. Pea suffered several huge bites and I am NOT happy.
The bathroom is disgusting, there is something growing in one of the kitchen cabinets and there is a really horrible smell from one of the drains. Not to mention that it looks like someone puked on the door of the shed, and nobody thought to clean it up. The list goes on and on and on.
Basically, serious fixing up is required and while the super seems nice, he's probably gonna hate me by the end, because there is no end to the shit I need fixed. So the move itself went smoothly, but I'm off to something of a rocky start at the new place. *le sigh*
But enough about that. I can complain more when I get my own internet, hopefully before the New Year. For now, it's time to eat, drink and be merry.
HAPPY WHATEVER!
