the_siobhanThe last two weeks in bullet points:
Several more bags of stuff cleared out of the house
Got the basement lights fixed
Sent in a request for some paperwork from the city that will hopefully help resolve outstanding permits numbered 1-4. Paid for said paperwork. Wrong paperwork was received. Have now sent a new request to a different department in the city. Fingers are crossed. Toes are crossed. Eyes are probably crossed too.
Sent photos sent to city's urban forestry department to hopefully resolve outstanding permit number 5.
Put together some boxes of excess kitchenwares for the ex to take to their new place when they move.
Replaced the filter on the air conditioner so I could turn it on when the weather got hot. No "on" was achieved. Spent a couple of hours fiddling with it before I gave up. Left a message for the tech to come check it out.
Went with dad and wife to new condo to take measurements and plan for move. Purged several shelves worth of expired jars. Packed two (2) boxes.
Came home to discover a shelf in my office had torn itself off the wall and dumped it's contents all over the floor. One of my gargoyles didn't make it.
I am having a glass of wine and going to bed. I will clean up the damage tomorrow.

As for city permits, oy vey.

I think I think I first turned it on Wednesday and it ran for a few minutes and stopped, and then I got so busy it was Saturday was when I finally realized it wasn't working at all.
The city permit process is SO BROKEN, holy shit. I could do a documentary. Or a podcast.
