The Alligator Family is Moving!

When you're coming into Reading, you have to go over a hill (at least the way we went), and as you crest the hill, you can see the city laid out before you and the pagoda on the other side of the valley. That was the moment we all waited for.

It's like we lived next to each other all our lives yet somehow never met.

Oh wait...

I love the internet.

I was able to confirm seven different apartment complexes with vacancies without having to call any of them. Whoo!

I was also able to eliminate two options because no I will not declaw my cats you arseholes.

That leaves four places with unknown vacancy status but I feel pretty confident that we'll be able to find an open unit that we like once we get out there and start touring complexes. Our expectations are pretty low at this point, we just want a dishwasher and an interior that isn't older than me.

Also we're hitting the one week mark tomorrow!

I hear you. I've been able to nail down six really decent apartment choices for my move to Vegas in February. They can't all provide vacancy guarantees this far out, but I'm pretty sure one of them will work out.

I have the luxury of time, though, so I'll be able to make a weekend trip to check 'em out in person next month.

And you actually tell them you have kitties??

I do, because Mr. A can't lie to save his life and he'd die of guilt if we didn't disclose it.

Plus this year for some reason they've decided that their new hobby is to tear up carpet. We've declared our bedroom a cat-free zone and they try to dig under the door to get in when we're in there, tearing up the carpet in the process. In past years, the flooring outside of the bedroom has been linoleum (or at our first place they were confined to a heated garage at night), so they're not as damage-less as they used to be.

If they want to charge a per-pet-per-month fee though I'm only telling them I have one. Carpet issues aside, I know toddlers that do more damage than my cats. >:[

THANKS KITCHEN SINK, YOU COULDN'T WAIT UNTIL AFTER WE LEFT TO BREAK?

Also thanks for filling the litterbox underneath you with water. And then spewing more water onto the floor.

Seriously, that was THE LAST load of dishes. Everything left was going to get packed when they were done. But nooooo, can't have things going according to plan!

I would suggest to get out of that place before it collapses on you.

I hear they have a rainbow.
