Because writing a rent check isn't enough of a kick in the groin
For some reason, we decided we needed to get out of the apartment today, so we drove to Houston to camp in the house. We had a pleasant enough drive, a nice walk around the neighborhood, dinner at the Cheesecake Factory where we actually managed to squeeze in dessert, and now the girls are talking it up in a tent in the living room.
The house is still in great shape. I brought stuff to vacuum and clean, figuring there might be rings in the toilet or dead bugs around, but I think all I'm really going to have to do is vacuum away the traces of us sleeping on the floor. We pulled the dead tomato, pumpkin and zinnia plants and I think the neighbor will lend us his mower to take down the tall patches of grass, but even the yard is looking swell.
Kinda makes me wish we lived here.
