Real quick, here are a few updates:
1. Computer stuff for my Mom took all night (who was I kidding?), but the boy came by the house (kept me sane w/ the 10 yr old Dell drama) and we did get to enjoy some eggplant parmesan and lots o' wine and conversation, so clearly the evening wasn't a wash.
2. I came home to a nicely repaired screen door. Thank you David! Bring on the spring breezes (now for that latch from the HD...).
3. I also came home to a letter from the landlord (sent to all 6 tenants in my building). Apparently the bathtub issue wasn't your run-of-the-mill hair and soap scum clog. Apparently people in the building have been flushing all manner of grossness ("feminine hygiene items, birth control items, and paper towels" to be exact). Ugh!! Do I apparently now live in a dorm? They had to have an actual plumbing service come out and snake the entire building's line to the sewer. If it has to be done again, the cost gets passed on to us. So not fair. I've got my sights set on some likely culprits - the two apts. upstairs were inhabited last summer by several SLU boys (w/ the same last name - brothers?) and a revolving collection of women. I hope they move out this summer. That's been a given. This incident just brings that hope home. I mean, they moved in furniture last year at like 3 am. Didn't start out on the right foot. I didn't complain, tried to brush it off. Just really hope they're gone soon.
So there we are - some ups, some downs, and not a whole lot of progress forward. Friday though. And Sunday. Looking forward to it :)
