    No idea. That's insane. Plus I made it very clear that I have cats before I even looked at the apartment. Grrrrr.

    That sucks even more! Did you show up in your gardening clothes? I'm guessing you didn't, but I have to say the bf and I've adopted the dress your best approach for apartment hunting and flying and seem to have fewer problems and warmer welcomes than when we went in what we actually wore to our casual jobs.

    Oh, and I agree with whoever said maybe it's a sign. A flakey LL up front might be even worse long term.

    I've been in some places that have REEKED of cats - but it was about 10 cats that didn't use a litter box. How two properly cared for cats are a problem, I just don't get it.

    Rave: apartment found, half a block from my current one. Nice and big, stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, great floors, room for all my crap. Sign lease in the morning. No outdoor space though. :(

    Rant: It's not cheap! Now I'm going to be broke like everyone else!

    Are you still going to hire movers? Seems like a waste of $$ since it's so close. And I really don't mind whipping Mougar like a pack mule. Honest.

    I know! Wanna be my date? And by date I mean "person who carries me home and tucks me in while leaving a glass of water and a garbage can by the bed."

    Ha. Thanks for offering Mougar's services. Yeah, I really (really) have to hire movers. I have waaaay to much shit to impose that on anyone. But I can definitely move a lot more than I thought by myself, like the breakable stuff.
  • anastasia beaverhausen

    Well, try and negotiate the price down since they really only have to move the heavy shit. Mougar can carry the other stuff.

    it's nice when you are moving close by as you can just make a bunch of trips with the food and clothes, etc. without having to be careful about packing....a bunch of milk crates and you can keep everything on hangers.

    More importantly, when is the "I'm moving come celebrate my deck and flowers now and drink all the booze in hard to move half a block botthes?" How about the 27th?

    Yes. As in person who carries you home, tucks you in, and makes sure you get some food and some ibuprofen after you let it out. Then leave a trash can. So you don't end up like Jimi.
