Some People Are Awful People...
We're into our new place now, and holy cow...Wait, lemme me back up. So we got everything packed up (omg I know right? We did it!) and we moved the large stuff into the new garage, and boxes into the storage unit. Then we slept in our old apartment one last night, so we could wash walls, shampoo carpets,a nd give it one last real deep clean before moving our fish tank out.
All that went smoothly, and though it was hard work, it was all done by 2pm. Walked in to our new apartment annnnd....
What. The. Fuck. Carpets are stained and filthy, there is old food left in the cabinets, the bathtub has mildew under where they had their shower mat and the light-bulbs have been taken out of all the ceiling lights. I'm so tired, and we worked SO hard to clean our old place, and now I have to do it again. It's so awful. I'm a really clean person, and though I have occasionally allowed my home to become cluttered, but I never allow it to be filthy. I should have looked around harder, I guess. The fridge is brand new, and so is the stove, so that's good at least.
Husband had to go to work, so I got our bed set up, and sat the rest of the night alone, by the light of one lamp. I was able to find a usb cord for my phone, and connect it to my laptop so I could at least get online via my phone. After all the stress, and exhaustion and way too many energy drinks on top of not enough food... I had a full on panic attack. The "I can't breathe, and I'm dying" kind. I knew in the back of my mind I wasn't, that I was obviously breathing, but I was certain I couldn't. I gasped like a fish for I don't know how long. Eventually I passed out and when I awoke I felt a little better, though I was shaking. After I spoke with my friend Em for a while, I was calmed down. The next day at work I felt like someone had beaten me, and then dragged me behind a truck. I limped around like I was 90 years old, and I couldn't even keep water down. It didn't get much better the next day, when all of my misery was added to by a headache.
I gave in this morning and called in sick.
I totally slept ALL day. Husband went to work, and I woke up only long enough to drink water, then throw it back up. I slept until 6pm when Husband got home. I just ate a little bit, and now I'm mostly alright. Tomorrow, we're shampooing the carpets, and painting the walls, then we'll worry about moving furniture in.
Now I should try and rest some more, as I have to run in to work tomorrow to complete a few things that I should have finished yesterday.
G'night guys!
Oh no!!! I just moved also, and was lucky enough to move into a pretty clean place, but I haven't always been so lucky!
ReplyDeleteIt's shocking to see how disgusting people live and how disrespectful they can be. Clean up after yourself! Good luck! May you have a squeaky clean home soon :)
The last place I rented was a wreck when I took over. I scrubbed it. Land Lord thanked me very very much for cleaning it and apologized for it being a wreck. Told me to remind him when I was moving out so I wouldn't have to clean.
ReplyDeleteSo I did a half-@ssed job cleaning when I moved out. Land Lord kept the deposit. I reminded him of its state when a moved in. He remembered it differently. Take Pictures!
Oh my! Moving is stressful enough and finding your new home in such a state, no wonder you had a panic attack! You poor thing. I hope the place is starting to look better and as soon as you get all your things moved in and arranged it will be just that much sweeter!
