Oh, my eyes!!

I made a huge mistake on Saturday. 

Last week, I placed an order with Amazon.com that was supposed to be delivered on Saturday.  But I did not remember to change my One-Click option with my new address when I moved so basically, the order had my old address on it.  And though it started out with UPS,  and was in Lubbock on Friday, for some reason the new trend is to UPS it to a post office so USPS employee can deliver it.  Bottom line, the post office knows I’ve moved and instead of forwarding it, they returned it.  That was not the huge mistake.

I was hoping maybe the post office had delivered it to the old house so I went by an rang the bell at my old house to see if they had by some chance left the package.  They had not.  But I introduced myself to the new owner and she asked if I wanted to come in to see the house.  I said sure.  HUGE mistake. 

My former house was filthy.  Not just messy.  The woman has 4 cats and 2 dogs in there.  Who apparently don’t go outside or to a litter box.  The carpet was nasty.  There was stuff piled in every square inch.  The smell gagged me.  And she wants to take out my gas cooktop that I would kill for if I could have in my apartment.  And she hates the glass in the cabinets.  And I’d had the carpets cleaned before I left—something I did not have to do—and she wanted to know if I’d scotchguarded them  to help alleviate the cat problems.  I did not pay the extra money.  Sorry.

It breaks my heart and it something I cannot unsee.  Ever.
