My poor son, Mustachio, is going to be moving again. It's not that he really wants to but he thinks it's probably for the best. The apartment he is in is in an older building, circa 1940's, he thinks. It really needs to be retrofitted for today's requirements because the apartments seem to share ventilation. He is a smoker and the woman downstairs has been complaining about his smoking because she can smell it in her apartment. That wouldn't be happening in a newer building with the stricter building codes.
His current landlord made him a deal. The woman has lived in the building for over 5 years. He said he would give Mustachio a stellar report for any new apartment he found. And he did. He lied even. He said Mustachio had lived in the building for a year with no late rent payments and no complaints. He is also giving him back his month's rent as well as his deposit.
Mustachio found a great place, just 3 miles from his work, too. Another two bedroom but in a much newer building with a weight room and a pool. It's really what he had wanted to get into earlier this year (before his accident) but now he will have the pool available to him for next summer. And the added benefit of the weight room and being so close to work doesn't hurt either. As much as he hates moving, he is going to make the move regardless.
He is on vacation (yes, you read that right!) this week and next and said he might come down for a couple days after he moves to visit with us. I would love that but I told him not to kill himself with the move and all. But he wants to see Sheepie, Teach, the Princess, Chewlee and Gunner, too. I'm hoping he makes it since I enjoy his company. But I told him I would understand if he couldn't manage it. He is on vacation because of working for AT&T. He has it coming to him and, if he doesn't take the time before the end of the year, he loses it. I'd take it, wouldn't you?
It was actually 70 degrees here today and sunny. The Beast was thrilled because he finally saw birds at the feeders in back of the house. I had seen them but I was glad he finally got to see a bunch of them feeding. For whatever reason, it gives him some kind of thrill. If he's happy, he leaves me alone....LOL!
I just took it easy today, trying to make sure I am recovered fully from the IBS and it's aftermath. I feel good and my sleep routine has largely returned to something more normal. I still get up a couple times during the night for bathroom breaks (which is why I am doing this blog at this time of night) but I can return to sleep easily. I prefer that to being up more than half the night and sleeping most of the day away.
We ended up having to bandage up Baron's paw again. Baron has to finish up his pills for the skin problems and sores on his body before the vet can do the surgery on him. That's not for another two weeks, I believe. The Beast will be a basket case when that happens. Baron is, after all, his best buddy. So much can happen to an animal that is under anesthesia. I see it all the time on my vet shows I watch. But, c'est la vie! We shall just have to wait and see.
Tomorrow more decent weather is expected and I am looking forward to that. I am also curious about some new construction going on down the road from us. They have cleared away an old building and leveled a HUGE area. The Beast is wondering what is going to be constructed there and he has me curious, too. There's no sign up so it's hard to say. But construction goes on here pretty much year 'round. It should be evident in a fairly short time. I may just ask the owner of the gas station at that corner. He may have more information.
Love you all. Hope you had a great week. TGIF! Have a fun evening but don't drink and drive. ***Hugs***
