Opening Day

It's 10:43AM on Saturday.  The 'kids' have until end of day today to be out of the apartment.  The truck we rented has to be returned in 2 hours and 50 minutes or we pay for an additional day.  There is still a bunch of furniture to move here and/or to storage - and items from here (their things) that need to be moved to storage.  The hutch in our garage and H.'s king size bed, for example. 

They are in bed, not moving and have zero urgency to get up, apparently.

We're paying for another day almost certainly and I'm fine with that 'cuz I'm adding those expenses to the long list of expenses they owe us for. 

It's fucking ridiculous - and excuse the f-bomb but let's just say pretending it isn't as 'strongly felt' as that would be a lie.

Day 1 of their residency and we are definitely not leaving our dog with them during the two weeks we are away in March.  I feel certain she would be terribly neglected most of the time and that's not happening. 

Oh....and we're going to bring the cats here because the person who said they'd take them isn't going to.  I know....I know.  I feel the same - it would be a hard life lesson to have them take them to a no-kill shelter today - but there's no time for that, honestly.  We'll have to make that decision another day and for now, we've agreed to give having them here a try. 

On a 'good' (but sad, really) note one of the hamsters died so...one less pet to deal with.  And one of the lizards is not doing well either.

We'll see how it goes.

That's our mantra for seemingly forever - we'll see how it goes.
