Thank you, Kaycountrygal.

Wait till you hear the update, everyone.. sigh...

I just heard from the new manager, Cathy, this afternoon. Turns out they are going to replace all the carpet. Next Tuesday in the bedroom and hall, rip it all out and replace the flooring, Wednesday, put in the new carpeting.

Friday and Saturday, same for the living room.

Before Tuesday I have to have everything that's on the floor in the bedroom and hall out of there.

Then before Friday everything out of the living room.

I'll have to board the cats again the whole week. (And I wonder how they'll react when they come back home on Sunday and find so much is different.)

I have loads of stuff all over the floors in all the rooms. It is mind-boggling to consider moving it all and where to put it. Some to get rid of or to send on to good causes. Most of it, I don't know.

Cathy said this is non-negotiable, I have to get those spaces cleared at the right times. This is so it's done before I go for my surgery on Sept. 15! See, they're thinking of me.

That's the latest there.

P.S., At least this means they're not threatening me with eviction! (At least not now.)

P.P.S., I had my pre-surgery physical today. Brings it more home to me that this is actually (maybe) going to happen.. Sept. 15.
