The First Night

Last night mom started taking stock of the condo and we must say mom is very disappointed. The condo is not as clean as it should be, the vacuum cleaner is gone, and it was a 2 year old nice hoover, mom's CD player/radio is gone, we go to turn on the lights in the living room and 2 of the lamps don't have light bulbs and the 3rd is burnt out. There is hardly enough light to read. The main bathroom's night light is missing, mom bought that one special and it looks like someone helped themselves to it. The kitchen has lost a lot of the useful supplies. There is a broken magazine rack in the living room, a beach chair in one of the kitchen cupboards, filled with sand and a pillow in the kitchen garbage. Beth was getting her bed ready, she shook out the sheets and a chunk of something falls out, have no idea what it is, looks like an old dried up cow patty but we are sure there are no cows here so maybe it is really an old piece of drift wood. We all settled down to sleep and can hear that the upstairs air conditioning unit is not cycling correctly. I'm sure we will get used to the noise, it isn't loud and it will fade into the background. We got on the internet and started looking up rental companies, called each one and the only one that we could actually talk to a real person was Meyer Reality so we made an appointment to check into their rental policies. It is time for a change!
My morning is going GREAT, I brought coffee with me so even though we can't get into the owner's closet, I'm typing this with my first cup of fragrant, strong, coffee. It looks like we are going to have wonderful weather while we are down here, it is hot and humid right now but bright twinkling stars are out with only a few fluffy clouds obscuring the moonlight.
