What’s the point of having a ton of money if no one will take it and do the services we hire them to do? As he said, we love being wealthy (as we are at least for now), but why can’t people keep their word and do things when they say they’re going to? It’s a reminder that if you want things done and you want them done right, the only one you can count on is yourself.

Now Home Depot is telling us a completely different story regarding the toilets. We were told they take toilets out and then put them back after new flooring is laid down but now they say they have to wait until they can get someone else out to replace the toilets. Furthermore, they’re booked up for over a month before they can get out and do the flooring in the first place. It’s like everybody’s blowing us off, being contradicting, and not giving us the information we could use.

Take Bruce, for example. I can see selling the house as is but still, it’s common courtesy to have the decency to disclose what’s wrong with the place, isn’t it? The AC is not working right and the kitchen faucet is leaking. We’re not sure if the AC just needs to be charged or if it’s completely broken but he’s going to ask the guy that’s coming out (assuming he makes it out) about the split system we’re interested in.

Bruce also failed to tell us that the guy who lived there was behind in payments but Tabitha, unlike Joy, is great. When Tom saw her today she said not to worry about it and called Bruce with him there, saying it wasn’t fair to make us pay for it, and believe me, we’re not paying a single penny of it! Not sure who is but it won’t be us.

Tabitha said that while we’re technically in violation for having patchy grass, don’t worry about that either. She did say we can put down grass seeds and hay if we want to try to fill in the gaps, but we’ll more than likely replace it with gravel. That way they don’t have to mow there either. She said that’s what they’re doing in the new addition.

He mentioned that I wanted to plant palm trees in front since it doesn’t look very Florida-like in the area, and she said we could try but they’ll likely die. I guess there’s too much sand in the soil. That explains the lack of palm trees in the area. I guess they lost over a million bucks worth of plants they tried to plant when they first established the park 30 or 40 years ago.

Then she checked out who our neighbors were and said not to worry about how our place looks because she knows who the “sensitive” people are. In other words, our neighbors are easygoing in regard to how ugly the outside of our place looks at the moment. That’s good to know because we didn’t come here to impress others. We came here to live our lives.

We’re hoping that the cleaning lady will make it out tomorrow but if not, I guess that’s just one more thing we’re going to have to do ourselves. There are other flooring companies he could call but I don’t know that he’ll have better luck with them. If one person is going to tell us one thing while another tells us another, they’re booked out till September, and it ends up costing us a lot more than we anticipated, we might be better off doing it ourselves in sections even if it would have been so nice to have someone do it for us all at once.

We also don’t know how soon we can get the damn beds hauled out of there but we’re going to have to live with the old gross carpet for a while. We’re just going to have someone clean it, of course, and hopefully right away. So everything is still up in the air right now between the floors, the hauling, and the toilets.

On the bright side, the internet is hooked up and we’ve got a huge order coming from Amazon over the next few days that total close to $1,000. We decided to add my bed frame and a shower brush that I forgot to include in the first order. Plus we’re getting a new faucet to replace the kitchen faucet and a few other things. We have 4 ceiling fans/lights so we got these cute little pull chains that have little fan blades and light bulbs so it’s easy to tell which is which. Some are silver and some are bronze.

Despite the frustration that comes with people blowing us off, giving us the wrong information, being booked up, and withholding info, I’m so grateful for Amazon! Imagine having to buy all this shit in person? If I could only use one site, Amazon would be it. It has the stuff we need, a pharmacy, food, books, music, TV, movies, and a place to back my shit up. I’d give up social media any day for Amazon if I had to pick just one site to use!

What sucks is all the pain I’ve been in between my ear and leg, especially my ear. The pain ranges from my temple to around the ear, to the jaw hinge, to alongside my neck. Really hope it’s nothing serious like an infection or a tumor. He just thinks it’s stress and that whenever we have something big going on, my aches and pains are more noticeable. I went down to the kiosk hoping to find some gum, thinking that maybe exercising my jaw would help but of all the things they sell in their little store, gum isn’t one of them. I definitely do have some congestion too, but I don’t want to take any decongestants that could mess up my schedule. I need to push it to meet with Tabitha on Monday morning to sign the lease.

He got in about 15 minutes before I got up and we got some KFC through GrubHub. It was okay. Breakfast here was great again except that the scrambled eggs were kind of bland. The omelet was better. The potatoes are always a little spicy but really good. Didn’t like the little sausage links they had as opposed to whatever kind of sausage they had a couple of days ago.
