Worst Part of the Day - Still feeling not all that well - but MUCH improved. Erik went over to the rental house in the afternoon to mow and do some final clearing out. The "landlords" (our next door neighbors) came over to do the walk through and started getting nitpicky "is it clean" the wife asks as she walks through the door. Funny - they handed it over to us with freakin' urine stains on the toilets, so if that is their standard then yes it is clean. After pronouncing it "adequate" they then proceeded to complain about a portion of wallpaper the kiddos had torn off (legit on their part BUT the wallpaper is peeling all over the house and was loose (and I pointed it out to him) when we moved in). They are going to strip it and paint it and charge us. Well Erik brought up the broken fridge (three weeks and groceries lost), water heater not working (close to a week), microwave never fixed (four weeks) - but they said "This is not about those issues - this is about the wall." I guess I thought we had a gentleman's agreement - they were kind of crappy landlords and we would get our deposit back. Huh. Guess you really do have to document everything. Feeling jaded about people.

Best Part of the Day - Got the remote to work - we can watch tv once again.
