* Most of this post was written before bed last night. Tibicina, her gentleman, and I had a nice lunch at the tea salon and a visit at my new digs. Greenwick and I packed some odds and ends, brought those over, and assembled the patio shelving. There was pho for dinner and some shopping after. I'm pretty much done in. The movers come Friday afternoon, so tomorrow will be getting things ready for them instead of me trying to do it tonight. The outdoor shelving looks good and works the way I imagined, so we can bring over the rest of the planters and garden stuff Sundayish. (I did call the management company to pre-clear the storage shelves and they are a better fit with the rules than a lot of the things I see on other patios, but someone can always take exception and the rules could be changed to specifically exclude my shelving. One of the upstairs neighbors at minimum are jerks and they routinely through rotting garbage off their patio so it's strewn all over our walkway. Given what a dick maneuver it is to ambush us with mystery fluids and rotting vegetables I have zero expectation for civility in other matters. As there are multiple floors and I haven't caught them at it, I don't know which of them it is).
