Forced Remodel

Well it seems I am being mandated by the apartment management to have my kitchen and baths remodeled. Which means by Monday morning, May 14th 2012, I have to remove everything from all the cabinets, shelves, counter tops, and move the contents of the fridge to one they placed in my dining room yesterday. Even the hallway linen and misc closets.

A daunting task normally, let alone when a bad hip starts cramping up after just 15/20 minutes of moving and rearranging. Then the question of where to put everything comes to mind. What a PITA! I tried to put a large dent in the task yesterday evening, and then needed 2 Vicodins and 2 TylenolPMs to get to sleep.

I've been trying to get a little done here and there, but it seems I haven't even put a dent in it. Even now I'm still debating with myself on whether or not I should go out and purchase boxes or storage bins. Yes, the boxes or bins will make it easier to store things for the week, but if items are not in boxes they will be easier to access if I find the need for something stowed away.

Living in a semi-displaced mode for the next week should be another joy. No oven, stove, kitchen sink, etc. I really should have planned to be away for the week. So, what do you think the apartment management is offering as a compensation for the week of being displaced, plus the time spent needing to pack and rearrange things? If you guessed absolutely f'ing nothing, you guessed right. Oh, they did offer to have my carpets cleaned afterwards, but then shouldn't that be expected after a week of workers being in and out of the apartment for a week?!

This is not going to be a good week...
