Short post today...

...I was not expecting my landlord to show up before tomorrow, but he arrived today. Of course he did. I suppose that it's his last day off before he is expected to return to work. And I am nowhere near finished with cleaning my place. Of course.

I heard noise outside this morning and I did not think it would be the landlord. It was. And he's fixing windows, repainting sills and surrounds, and re-caulking stuff that needs it. Which means he's seen through my kitchen window and seen that there is still stuff piled up in my place.

On the day I am going to be gutting the place rather thoroughly. And that is not including the time I need to take to head to the hospital to their physio clinic this morning. An appointment that I managed to snag yesterday and almost forgot about this morning. Go me, right?

In terms of clearing shit out of here, pretty much anything that I haven't touched in at least six months is getting tossed out. I've already cleared out a shitload of shoes that hasn't been worn in at least a year, and I did the same with coats and jackets a couple of days ago. I've got some old bedding being washed that will be getting donated as well - one of the cats had decided to mark it so it needed to be washed before I could donate it all. Such is life.

In the meantime, I need to get my ass in gear so I can hobble to the hospital for my first physio appointment there. And I managed to fuck up my knee going up and down the stairs already. Woo?

Oh well, such is life sometimes. Ugh.

So, I didn't get everything out of the basement common area by the end of October. I got a LOT of it out, but there still remains some items that desperately need to go. I just haven't had the spoons to do it yet. Such is life when your health, mental and physical, decide to have other ideas. Obviously, I'm still working away at it all, and making progress too! A week ago, during my last two days off from work, I finally put together the free shelving thingy I got from Temu and started putting things on it. Talk about a huge difference from having things all over the counter! Organization of my kettle, various water bottles and travel mugs, spices, cereal, and other things have been accomplished and I have actual working space on the counter now. Given the space and time (and another shelving thingy at some point) I'll hopefully be able to turn the top of my mini-fridge into a coffee station and get rid of the two milk-crates I'm currently using to hold canned goods...

So, I've been verbally given a three month eviction notice due to my landlord wanting to renovate the apartment I've been living in for almost 12 years. And he's made it clear that he will not entertain the idea of me coming back once the renovations are done. Yes, the place needs some work - I've been here for 12 years so wear and tear are only natural. Of course, the day he needed into the apartment was a day where the place was a state. I'd just worked my last day of a string of five days in a row and housework needed to be done. Five days worth of dishes in the sink, garbage that was in the process of being collected to put out on garbage day, and laundry that was in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and put away. Plus stuff on the floor because I'd been going through my collection of doom bags and boxes so I could get rid of more things I don't need or have room for. It clearly wasn't putting the best look out there for my landlord to see,...

Two and a half months in my current place, and so far everything is working out well! I *still* have too much crap, but I will be working on getting rid of more of it over the next while. Especially as my landlady let me know tonight that her mother is selling one of her properties and the plan is to store some things in the basement...where I've got stuff laying around still. Not as much as I used to have, thankfully, but still enough that it will be in the way of whatever my landlady plans on storing. Overall, though, things are coming along nicely. I've been going through bags and bins, and have even weeded out some of the clothes in my closet. I will also be making use of the space under my bed to store things out of the way too. It is amazing what losing weight can do - pants that used to barely fit were falling off my ass, so those got donated. I also don't eat as much as I used to because I don't want to make a mess of the landlady's kitchen. I do, however, h...
