The preparation continues for when I am home alone, when son#2 and TDS move. It looks like I will be staying in this place until I can find something more affordable. I might even get a flat mate who doesn’t slam doors. A few complications to sort out, but whatever.

Need to buy a broom. Some buckets. These guys don’t have any brooms or buckets. WTF is wrong with them? I would need to get some anyway, because IF they had any buckets and brooms they would take them when they leave.

Actually, they have a fancy mop bucket and a mop – but they don’t use it. Except for when the roof leaked during a storm. I tried to use it once, but the mop head is dried up and dirty.
