The first stage is finally underway, Jennifer’s offspring are moving to their own place; they’re both over 21 so calling them “kids” just doesn’t fit. I’m not thrilled that the ex-boyfriend of Cheyenne’s has to come along but it’s an economic and empathy move. I did once tell her, sometimes you do have to be an asshole to survive, it’s just a matter of timing.
Meanwhile, I got an upgrade below…
The movers Jennifer hired brought these over to replace my old Maytags from 2000, which still work, make an offer! I’ve never worked with a front-loader before. All I know is Consumer Reports and the scuttlebutt is they’re better at cleaning. I’ll find out in time. The two guys who hauled them were very nice as they hooked them both up! I did a load right away and nothing leaked. So glad I gave them $50 to buy good beer for their efforts and trouble.
Jennifer’s gear will come later. We’re in the middle of trying to get the house ready and enough money to have the floors replaced. I’ve had this awful carpeting for 20 years which is easily 15 too long given its proclivity to retain stains, dirt, dust and other other unwanted substances; I wouldn’t be surprised if it contributed to my asthma. What will replace it? This is Jennifer’s strength, I think it’s hardwood or ceramics. I can’t remember the difference, I figure they’re both pricey yet worth the effort as I want something easier to clean up cat barf, pee and diarrhea. The other rooms with linoleum will get the same treatment. Another fun purchase will be a robot to go on patrol in keeping it all tidy. I can’t wait to see if our cats will treat as as foe, a toy or a ride. You cats better go with the latter, then you can join the other Internet sensations, earn your keep a little more!
