The rugs have been delivered to the mailroom of the new place (the super saw them). I'm pissed, but there's nothing to be done for it. I alerted the super I'll have to leave them there till Sunday, and then I guess
tn3270 and I will have to wrestle them upstairs. If the super wants them out, she can arrange to put them in there herself.
I've booked movers for an arrival between 3pm and 5pm on next Tuesday.
The place I went with, I picked because they were highly recommended and can handle that time window, but also: they have a reasonable price, but also a 10% discount if you pay in cash, which I am happy to do. :D (NTS: I ordered a mattress bag from them, so I don't need to buy one independently.)
I also booked a second pick up of book boxes for this coming Saturday.
Not sure if I mentioned;
tn3270 and I have been taking carloads of stuff over, to drain the swamp. Stuff that can be put away in the kitchen and closets, so it's not in the way of rug deployment or the movers.
(Huh, while I was writing this, the old landlord called. I didn't pick up. He doesn't seem to have left a vmail.)
I am more exhausted than I need to be, because I slept terribly, because bad vibrations last night. So that's validating, in case I needed further reminder of why I'm leaving.
Also, I got an email from the property manager that the heating person was coming to check out my bathroom radiator later this morning. This is great, yay repairs, however I delicately let him I know am generally asleep 4am to noon, and that emailing me at 9am about coming by at 11am isn't going to work.
Last night, the toilet at the new place malfunctioned. I discovered that the handle rod had been being attached to the connector thingy on the flap by a – get this – safety pin. An old, rusty safety pin which had finally bent out of shape and let go. I replaced it with a mini ziptie, which will presumably survive the heat death of the universe, and it's fine now. Let the propmgr know though.
