i officially have my own place. it feels so crazy, all of the responsibility. having to keep the heat off to save money, actually making sure no lights are left on when they don't need to be, taking the trash out on thursdays, blah blah blah.
the only thing that really pisses me off is that because we moved in on the same day the previous people moved out (we helped them take stuff back to whidbey island) they left the house fucking messy. it's like they didn't even start cleaning the house until that morning and their idea of cleaning is vacuuming with a vacuum that doesn't work and sweeping the floors. the fridge/freezer is disgusting, the counters are disgusting, every surface is dusty/sticky/food crumbs, so that pissed me off because i had to spend hours (and still am) cleaning up other peoples mess. i really don't mind cleaning when it's my mess- but the one thing that really REALLY grosses me out is other peoples food messes. ever since i was a kid, i'd wash the dishes, but i sure as hell wouldn't touch anybodys dirty napkins. blech.
but yeah. it takes hours to clean a disgusting refrigerator, and it wasn't fun.
my dad spent the night and we got a lot done. i still have a lot to unpack and windows and surfaces to clean, but i'm warming up to the place. i wish i had some help cleaning though, like a friend to make it fun.
anyways, i'll post pictures up soon. <3
