ok, i just want to vent about something and then I will be done with it.  Although it is altogether possible I have vented about this in the past.  But here goes... So there is an apartment that EO, Steph, Lynnzee, Colton and Lizzy have all been working on.  It is just a one bedroom aprt.  Lizzy worked for hours scrubbing the walls.  Steph has been working for hours scrubbing all the surfaces.  Then yesterday EO, Steph, Lynnzee and Colton worked on painting it.  They also had to do the ceiling.  It was a massive pain to do because the woman smoked.  All the flooring has to be replaced, every surface has to be scrubbed multi times.  The window blinds had to be replaced. the light fixtures have to be scrubbed,  the appliances have to be dismantled and cleaned.  The curtains have to be disposed of.  Not to mention the ventilation which can't be cleaned, so that will still have crud in it.  I think if they can make people with pets pay an extra deposit on an apartment, they should also make smokers pay extra money because triple the amount of work has to go into cleaning, and everything has to be replaced, because you can't get that kind of crud out of fabric/carpet.  And the deposit should be very high.  $5000 non refundable, or higher... depending on the size of the apartment.  $10,000 for a 3 bedroom.  I'm just sayin!

Well, I never did end up getting up once I laid down.  I was just so sick all day.  Then my digestive track was a mess yesterday as well.  So I really only got up to use the bathroom, otherwise I just stayed in bed and watched movies.  

Today isn't much better.  I have such a headache.  EO asked me to start my list of what we need to pack for the DC.  I haven't even started one yet this year.  I'm not too worried about it.  It isn't like when the kids were little.  now it is just mainly EO & I that we have to pack for.  He did drag the suitcases out for me though.  I asked him to do it, so that I didn't mess up my back...well any more than it already is anyways.

maybe today, if I can muster up the energy, I will work on the last of those pages that Steph needs.  we will see.  i can't be sure that i will feel up to it.
