A month already
Wow I can't believe I waited a month. Well ok it will be a month tomorrow but STILL A MONTH!
No wonder no one reads my blog. LOL
Well let's update.
I found a house that I REALLY like in Whittington, IL. While I love the house. I am DREADING the move. Mostly because I dread moving. Not the moving. But the packing and going through my things. I love this keeping this. WHY do I STILL have this? throw that out.
I went up yesterday and spent ALL DAY waiting for the gas people to get there. Apparently the number they had for me was the wrong one so they couldn't get in touch with me to tell me "oh I'm sorry we'll be there but not until 6 pm but we WILL get there."
I just love little towns. While I was waiting for the electric guy (he has to come before the gas guy can). I went down to the little water department. They have made a FABOULOUS place out of the building. It's PRETTY. In any case walked in and the woman was on hold. She politely told her to hold on one moment and asked me if she could help me. Sure. I need to have my water turned on. Ok can you hold on one second. She needed to call that lady back. So we are chatting and as I'm paying my water deposit (all renters must pay 100 dollar deposit) her dad walks in. She says dad she needs the water turned on at (and gives him my address). He said sure no problem I'll be down there in a bit. And walks to the back. So I figure I'm going to wait a while before I got the water turned on. He comes down about five minutes later and turns on the water hollers in the window that I'm cleaning and says your water should work now you want to check it. I go to the faucet and low and behold water runs. Yeah it works. I'm so happy. Now if only I can get the lights and gas on.
The light guy comes at 10 I think wow could this day be ANY BETTER. Get it all done by noon and I can go home to Tennessee to finish packing and be home before my daughter gets home from school.
Well I didn't know that there was a light guy that came and then later (at SOME POINT) a gas guy comes. So I went to the stove and it wouldn't light. Call my mom and she says well the gas guy should light that for you. I said well he was here but he didn't. She said well call the office. I said well maybe he forgot something and had to go get it. What he could have forgotten I don't know but it's a good thought.
Well I was told to be there from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. They can come any time in that time frame. So I wait ... and wait and wait. Finally at 3:30 pm I call the power company. I said were they supposed to light the furnace and the stove. Oh yeah they are supposed to do that. But has the light guy came yet. I said yeah he came at 10 a.m.
She said well if they aren't there by 6 pm you'll have to wait until tomorrow. WHAT??? I drove three hours to get here ... I have to drive three hours back home. I am NOT going to drive back again tomorrow so I can wait all day again. Oh no we'll get you first thing in the morning. I said no you don't understand. I have a child at home that has to get to school and such. Well if you don't stay until they get there then you'll have to wait at least a week or more before they can get back to you. Well crap now what?
