so I'm moving into this house with my friend, finally. We have spent so long working on this place, it's not even funny. You don't even know.
For one, we cleaned 750 pounds of trash out of the barn. WITH SHOVELS. so bad.
the house smelled like cat piss with some shit mixed in. Gross. now it's not so bad. there were a bunch of cats with fleas there, un- spayed and -neutered. I bought some flea stuff for them and we are taking care of the other issues soon. We have to hit the house with flea bombs soon.
there were probably 500 pounds of trash in the house, along with another 500 or so pounds of clothes. maybe more.
nobody cleaned anything. Everything was dirty and smelled horrible. now it's tolerable.
my room smelled like cat shit, and now after hitting the carpet with Pet Fresh, vacuuming it, hitting it with a carpet cleaner, then a steam cleaner, then vacuuming again it smells mostly ok.
mostly.
this kid that lived there before us had left two cars there, both pieces of junk. one of them was an old Nissan 300ZX or something with a huge wing on the back. That car is probably about half bondo and smokes like a 2-stroke weedwhacker on steroids. but he ended up taking that car. There is this old Jetta that is there, though, that the kid got for parts. he hasn't moved it because he is an idiot and ripped a bunch of parts off of it (even though he didn't need the parts so they are just sitting on the ground by the car now, useless) so it doesn't start or run. We needed parking space, so today we pulled the Jetta into the road. hopefully it has been towed away by now. The cops have been by numerous times to tell us that the kid said he'd move the car, but he hasn't. apparently ther eis now a warrant out for him.
I don't feel sorry for him.
so anyway, this house was a huge shithole but now it's not too bad. The only bad part is the kitchen, but we are working on it. It's pretty bad, though.
so... for the most part, my life has been pretty smooth and not tense and horrible like it was before. I pretty lost it the other night driving home from work. like super lost it. I went and talked incoherently to my mom, through tears and a nose full of snot, and it just let a load off. I have been happy for the past two days, enough so that not even work got me down today. it's a good feeling.
I doubt it will last, but oh well. It's nice for now.
