Music to My Ears

wayfaringwordhackLast night, the landlady's second son* sent me a message saying that he had hired a cleaning company to stay for four hours; they would be under my supervision, and I should make them clean whatever I want!
That, sir, I said, is music to my ears!
SO! I have clean windows with clean bars and clean screens, and clean baseboards, and clean light switches, and clean floors and a clean terrace; and all the junk that was left in the garden has been carried away. :D
Sadly, they weren't able to do it all in 4 hours--even though there were three of them--so they had to be paid more. You can only imagine how long it would have taken me to do all of that myself.
I had to stay at the house with them the whole time, so I did not get to move as much stuff from this place as that as I wanted. I did do some unpacking, some cleaning of my own, and moved some furniture. Still a ton to do at this place, and I am wiped out.
Last push.
Oh, and as a goodbye send off, our ceiling is leaking water again. I told the upstairs neighbors, but they said nothing was wet on their end. :/ I asked them to call their landlord (not the same as ours), and we'll let ours know whenever we leave. I don't need him coming around before we are out of here.

*She has 4 kids, and though I say 2nd son, he is probably the oldest or one of the oldest. We have only met three of the (grown) children now in person. Like many Lebanese (men) he works in another country (Saudi Arabia) and comes back to see his family once or twice a month.
