Okay, Let Me Get This Straight

MONDAY
Put beloved cat to sleep.  Cry.  One hour later sign a lease and send money on an apartment 2500 miles away that you've never seen in a state you've never been.  Laugh.  Comfort teething infant.

TUESDAY
Find all belongings damaged at storage facility.  Laugh.  Question construction workers and on site staff but receive no information as to how this happened.  Cry.  Comfort teething infant.

WEDNESDAY
Overhear drunken landladies upstairs arguing about how drunk they are at 6:30 am. Laugh.  Return to storage unit and bring home 4 boxes of damp clothes to be washed and re-boxed.   Cry.  Comfort teething infant.

THURSDAY
Find there is no hot water available in current apartment.  Call landladies who live upstairs and discover that a) they are already drunk for the day, b) they want you to know they blame you for no hot water, c) they hate you and want you to leave, d) they feel bad for your infant son, e) you should get ready for court.  Cry, cry, cry.  Five minutes later, see drunk landladies outside your door who coo at your son and assure you that hot water is essential and they're working on it.  Take cold shower.  Make infant son laugh.  Laugh.  Get call from storage facility who is now blaming construction company and assures you they want to make things right.  Eat cupcakes.  Comfort teething infant.  

FRIDAY
Laugh.  Cry.  Comfort teething infant.
