So part of my meeting with Management Dude was him handing over work notices for some things that need repair:

1. There’s a tree stump in the backyard that needs removing. Once that is gone, the management company plans to reseed the backyard, which is a rather scraggly-looking potential mud pit. Management Dude is hoping to reseed before the cold weather really sets in so that we have nice grass for Annie to kill with her pee and to p00p on. (We, in my family, call our doggie backyards The Poopeteria.) Nice of him, no?

2. Apparently, the half bath on the main floor isn’t working. The water is turned off on that toilet until it is fixed. I’m not too worried about that since we have 3 other toilets available in the house. However, I did talk to the plumber who has that contract and he’ll be coming out next Friday to fix it. I and my wedding hairdresser will be practicing with my hair and headpiece on that day, so he’ll get to enjoy the twittery conversation we have about the wedding.

3. The washing machine is not working properly, too. Fortunately, the repair guy for that is able to come to the house tomorrow morning while I wait for the POD to be delivered. My luck, the POD will arrive at 7am and the washer dude won’t arrive until 10am and I’ll be stuck in an empty house with nothing to do but enjoy the silence and space. Actually, I will take a bunch of stuff over there - probably some kitchen things. And a book to read.

What’s great about all of this is that we don’t have to pay a penny for it since they are repairs needed after the previous tenant.

Have I mentioned that moving is a pain, though?
