I arrived the night of the 18th and was met by my friend Sandra at the airport and by three sets of neighbors when I arrived home. That was great.
A few days before my return, the shared pipeline for my and the two condos above me clogged and my kitchen sink overflowed with the most disgusting, foul water. My neighbor who was caring for my cats called me and I called the HOA who sent a plumber to unclog it, but my floor, my sink and my countertop had all been flooded and and had to be sanitized. Welcome to Nevada, Alynwa!
The entire clean up crew was supposed to come Friday at five, but only the floor sanitizers showed. At first, they told me they were only there to sanitize the floor; not the sink and not underneath the sink, but I guess I looked so pitiful, they went ahead and sanitized underneath the sink. The guy to take care of the sink and counter top showed up at 8 this morning just ahead of the guy from the gas company. So now I have a clean kitchen and hot water! And I can cook! And in the clean kitchen, I want to!
I can't really say I've begun to unpack yet. It's not terribly urgent as I already have a wardrobe here. In fact, I have things to take to the thrift shop that belonged to my mom that I was only keeping to use until my stuff got here. I have, however, begun going through the seven months' worth of mail that my neighbor had been collecting for me. Oy, what a job.
Additionally, I've done other important stuff: I got my library card, my flu shot and my pneumonia shot, attended my aunt's 90th birthday dinner, met up with friends and got all those hugs and kisses.
I'll be keeping you apprised of how I'm adjusting to life out West. Right now, Pepper is on one side of me as I type this and Itty Bitty is on the other. I thought they would be PO'd at me for staying away so long, but if they were, they're over it. Once I get organized, I'll post some pictures.
