I almost cried

[serene]

Landlady: I’m gonna put a washer and dryer in your place soon. Let me know when it’s a good time for me to come and look at the space.

Me: Oh, come on in.



The place is clean. On short notice, not because we cleaned like maniacs for the previous 24 hours. James even made the bed when he got up, so when she wanted to look at the floors to get an idea of the new tile situation, I also could say, blithely, Come on back!

I swear I’m getting kind of choked up.

Now, we did have to clear out the storeroom to make room for the washer/dryer, but I freecycled or tossed a bunch of what came out, so it'll be easier to maneuver back there anyway.

Wow! That is awesome. And you didn't even have to ask.

!!! Go team you! I feel that way a lot now too and it's just... I want to cry sometimes. <3

Ask for a washer and dryer? Yeah, we asked. Well, what we did is ask how much the just-becoming-vacant place behind us was going to rent for, because it has a washer and dryer, and I'm going to work full-time, so it's going to be harder to find the time for our three-hour laundromat walks. She really really really doesn't want to try to have to rent out our place (funky space that we love, but it's odd and hard to rent out), so she jumped at the chance to give us a washer and dryer so we wouldn't move.

How cool is that? And yay for being comfortable in your space and with letting the landlady come ine.

Congrats on the washer and dryer. I'm impressed with all the Fly Lady activity and I'm happy that it's working for you. It is so much easier to live in some semblance of order.

Yay! I can totally relate to the tearing up thing. I'm so happy for you.
