Holidaze.

We were approved for the apartment, and moved into the new place on the 20th. Still have some stuff at old place, still have to clean up... but busy few days in here.

We thought we were gonna lose Fifi; a few days before the move, she was squealing and running in circles, twitching, etc. Looked like a stroke or something. Got worse over the weekend, moved her to her own cage, and didn't expect her to last through the move, espec going out (even for a few mins) into the cold weather to move her to new place. But, by Monday, she was back to her old self... as good as can be. Poor rat... whatever was wrong then, plus the arthritis, and everything else... and stilll happy and as carefree as can be.

Another round of holiday stuff tomorrow (dad's last nite, mom's tonite), then a few days for a break, then 'holiday' get-together with friends from mostly out of town... and then back to normal at the end of next week.

Will write more when there's more time....

Anorther plus to apartments:

There's no !#%T@^!@ snow to shovel!

Anyone who decrees that snow is pretty and/or that they like it, is hereby forced to spend the rest of the winter here shoveling it. And FYI, they're forecasting more than last year (over 100").

More apartment drama.

We got a call at 9pm last night, from our landlord. She wanted to show the place to two people tonight at 6pm. They raised a stink about 12 hours notice instead of 24 given in our 'we're leaving' letter and she's been rather hostile both times we've talked to her.

We sent the notice in on the 13th of November, and she called on the 16th to say they were putting the apartment up in the Journal for showing. This past Saturday, we got a letter (we didn't find it until she called last night) saying the lease was up Jan 31 and we had to give 60 days notice. The January end date seems right since we added Craig on in February, but if that were the case, we could've been told that when she called on Nov 16. Plus, we have a signed lease addendum that says we give 45 days notice, not 60.

So, we'll see how that goes tonight. Hopefully we'll get the drunk assholes loud and obnoxious too, so possible tenants and the landlord both can see why we're leaving.


We did have an appointment and saw a nice apartment yesterday, down in Cudahy. We're going to see another one a few blocks from there tomorrow and choose between the two, provided things are cleared up with moving out. It's about 2 blocks to Craig's place and 4ish to her parents' place, and it's way south side of Milwaukee County, close to more friends and less distance for them to drive.


App is in the decision processes for UW-M, but since I graduated with just under a 3.0 from UoP, shouldn't be an issue. Seems like it's ages away, but it's only a month and a half or so 'til stuff starts, provided everything gets done by then. Whee!


Here's to hoping things work out.

Movin' right along.

Our lease was set to expire at end of August this year, but when we added Craig on (to give him the relocation bonus from Bucyrus, since he was stayin' here anyway), it reset to Dec 31.

We've already been having issues with this place. The basement is partially unfinished (dirt floor in about 1/4 of the basement); several heating vents are uncovered and there's even one place you can see into the basement through a gap in the floor; windows are so old they're just about impossible to do anything with (on the ones that have screens, at least); the floor is warped so badly there's only one real spot in the dining room we can put a desk and sit at it without rolling halfway across the room; and there's our back door neighbors.

These are the epitome of drunken rednecks; if they're not working, one (at least) is so shitfaced he can't talk, whether it's after work at 7pm or an off-day and 2pm (or earlier). There's regular shouting matches back and forth, which is fine... until the music gets involved. There's three different sound systems back there, and especially when one brother gets pissed, he raises the stereo up to the point we hear it (clearly) on the opposite end of the house, to purposely piss off the other brother. Then they decide to fight even more, over top of the loud music.

We called the landlord; nothing happened. Called the cops a few times, and they came out a few times (not sure if as many times as we called). In August, I called the cops again and landlord again the next morning; with enough noise complaints, the ticket prices start getting shared with the landlord (to help make sure the complaint gets fixed). I told the landlords we didn't want to do that but once a week shit like this was ridiculous.

It worked, for the most part; music would still be on and bass would be up to the point we could hear it through the walls out into the living room, but overall, it was a lot better, until it started going back to same old shit the past week or two.


Last night, they were at it again, and decided to play 'dueling stereos'. First a home theater went up (some action movie, lotsa booms, etc.), so other asshole turned up his stereo (with xmas music). I guess they've got a third stereo, because that got turned up too. Rigoddamndiculous. Cops got called again and actually got to talk to the officer over the phone for once... hopefully they get a ticket (or another one if they've actually gotten tickets).

If that hadn't cemented our decision, the basement did. Heard dripping last night from a pipe near our washer/dryer, but couldn't tell where. Had Kacy come and look, and was easy to tell where it was... and the whole pipe was caked in mold. Explains why our allergies have been worse the past month or two. With all the open grates (the air return on the dining room wall is just one huge open hole; the grate never stays on)... it's certainly made its way up here.


So, we'd already decided we weren't staying here long; at first we figured stay til end of school in May and look... but have started thinking of doing so now, and have looked at a few places. We're 1 for 3 on looking (one place the landlord never showed up, and we underestimated the time it'd take and missed our appointment at one yesterday).

When asking Craig about a place to store the washer/dryer if we found a place w/o storage/basement, he also offered us the ability to stay at his place in case we didn't find something in time, which is a big help. Hopefully we won't need it, but offer's there at least. And it's closer to friends visiting over Xmas, heh.

So, the search is on....

Lack of updates

No big surprise I'm sure. Nothing has really changed.

Few job apps that went nowhere.

Only difference is now asshole is playing xmas music instead of his usual shit. One radio station is already doing all--and only--xmas stuff from now 'til the holiday. Fuck's sake.

Back again.

No reason to keep PC running 24/7 when not online all the time or logging sites in Aard... so moving blog back to a permanent host.
