Scrub-a-dub-dub

Today was our first day of cleaning. We started the day pretty early and were pretty much raring to go by the time we finally finished our shopping (which wasn't until 1pm!) but our zest went kapoot around the time we pulled up into our drive-way. We got out, walked through the house, called ONG and were told that some one would be out to check the gas leak with in the hour. We didn't want to get into our deep cleaning before they got there because we didn't want to have to re-clean anything. So we did nothing for an hour but sit on the front porch and drink water while we waited for the ONG guy to come. He finally came around 3pm.

They turned off the gas to the house. Yeah. Bad news.

So here is my thinking, we deserve some of our rent money back! I mean really! We paid them $700 rent for September 1st through the 30th. Well we can't live there! There isn't any gas. That means: No cooking and no hot water. Forget the fact, if only just for a moment, if you would, that we have only one bathroom and the toilet doesn't even work. Forget the fact as well that they were supposed to fumigate before we moved in and we were killing ugly ass spiders all freakin' day! I'm furious.

Aside from that excitement we really didn't get that much done. We cleaned the whole living room, which includes scrubbing the walls top to bottom, cleaning out all the window sills and polishing the floors. We did the same in my bedroom and left everything else for tomorrow. We really only spent a couple hours cleaning. Maybe three and thats tops. We spent alot of time sitting on the porch with me holding my poor stuffed up head. My ears are all plugged up today and its exquisitely uncomfortable!

We're going back tomorrow to hopefully finish off the kitchen, the dining room, the hall way, the bathroom and Jen's bedroom. I know it's alot but we sort of have a system now and only the kitchen and the bathroom are all that messy. The hall and Jen's room we can sort of breeze through. Its just alot of work and with me being sick it is slow going. We have to be ready to at least prime it next week or we're totally off schedule and we won't be ready to move in three weeks.

Hopefully they'll be ready for us to move. Gr.
