As my previous posts mentioned, I was kind of hoping for this outcome. However, it's getting really scary now as money is very quickly running out and the house still isn't ready to be listed. Mitch's work has been picking up more lately, and I can't do any work in the house at all because everything left is all his stuff, which I can't identify so I don't know if it's something he needs or not. I'm also having a really hard time finding placements for the cats, which we've decided cannot come with us, nor can we show the house with them around. However, we don't want them to live in cages at a shelter, and even if we did, the shelters are overflowing and only taking in strays and at risk animals, not surrenders.
Feeling very frustrated and scared right now.

Frustrated with cleanup project
First, nothing on the job offer front, so no update there. I kind of feel very relieved especially since I have another potential new lead.
Very frustrated with M. Seems every time we work on cleaning up, we get into a huge fight. I have to give him credit (again) that he has mostly given up his pack rat mentality and is willing to part with many things that he doesn't think he'll need for his work. HOWEVER, now he's decided to go green and instead of putting everything in the dumpster that's still in our driveway, he has to take photos and put stuff up on Freecycle (one man's junk is another one's treasure). We could have the place totally cleaned out in a day or 2 if we throw everything away. He doesn't seem to understand how much extra time it's taking to list each and every item, respond to the emails and mark it and set it aside for pickup. Ok, I'm kind of doing the same thing, but putting stuff in boxes for pickup by a local charity, so it doesn't take up any of my time. I'm beginning to feel like we'll NEVER get this place cleaned out and listed, and it can so easily be done within a week.
