cimoreneSince waxjism did most of the work in creating our window screens, I've been trying to get her to post about them. She reacts with complete blankness, as if she can't even hear me, so probably that's a no go, but here's a picture of Tristana helping out (Tristana must ALWAYS be included in any situations or activities) and also a picture of Chief Inspector Japp in the bunny fort under the plant table.
Tomorrow the movers are coming to take our (current) little old lady tenant's stuff. She originally told us the moving was going to be completed on the 29th and merely "suggested" that she come back to do "cleaning" in the apartment "in the following days", and later even confirmed this date schedule, but when we told her the Ukrainians were planning to move their stuff in on the 30th and simply help her out with the scheduled cleaning, she responded it would be totally fine if they wanted to come help clean, but she couldn't have them putting any of their stuff in the apartment at the same time because there "wouldn't be room yet". So... in other words... "cleaning" was always code for "moving out so much stuff that there won't even be space for a suitcase or two"? This is annoying, but not entirely unanticipated. I seem to remember that when she moved in, she was still making trips back to her old apartment for a few weeks with additional loads of stuff. So we told them that if worst comes to worst, they could sleep in our downstairs guest room Thursday, and that they could put stuff in the garage in the meanwhile and we'd help them move it up the Friday. They said that wasn't necessary though - the guest room, that is. They can wait till Friday. (Rental contracts start on the first of the month, so Friday it's legally theirs regardless - I'm far from convinced that all her stuff will be gone by then.)
We retrieved the bits of the futon-sofa from the garage and discovered our first attempt to identify the correct assembly instructions misfired. (There wasn't a clear label.) I DID manage to find the correct instructions eventually, though, which is good, because it was looking slightly intimidating without them. We should be able to put it together tomorrow, hopefully, and give it to our new tenants on Friday.
And meanwhile I guess we will be sleeping in our downstairs guest room, which is just the dining room, because that's the room where there's enough empty floor to put a double/queen mattress, and also the coolest room in the house: right now our bedroom is the hottest room in the house, and while it's bearable at night, it's not pleasant. It's just got warm enough the last couple of days to make us think sleeping on the floor would be preferable. (We also considered sleeping on the balcony, but we don't have a mosquito net yet.)
