serynI cleaned. and cleaned. and cleaned. Bleahg.
I spent a lot of today waiting for a phone call while cleaning. Finally I called them. I had been told to be home, someone would call me this morning "for certain". At 4:30pm, the person had not looked at my stuff. This person proceded to make shit up so it sounded like they had done their job. I took notes on what was said, repeated it back to pin it down, got agreement. The phone rings 10 minutes later and the person finally did their job and reviewed my stuff --- so they changed everything that was agreed upon based upon "new" information which had been right there if they'd actually done the work. Not only that, but a real person could have checked the answer if they had done it when they said they would.
That's more than a little vague but the gist is totally accurate. Tomorrow I am going to spend my morning trying to circumvent this person.

We belong to a CSA... that's community supported agriculture... basically the farm picks whatever is in season and you get a box of a few things for a fee. Unfortunately these are all packaged for people with much larger families than mine. Every box we get has way too much of every one thing. Some of each of them goes bad before we can eat it. So we get tomatoes, it's 2 pounds of tomatoes. We get apples, there are 40 apples. We get oranges, there are 15 giant ones. We get kiwi, there are 12. They have a "box for smaller families" but it still has mass quantities, it's just less variety. Every once in a while there will be something that there just isn't enough of. They had lemons in our first box and there were only 2. I could have eaten 10 of them. They once had grapefruit, but there was only one grapefruit. If there's lettuce, it's an itty bitty head that will barely make a side salad for 2.
There is a convenient farmers market but it's so convenient, you'd think it was Disneyland. Both from the crowds and the number of numbskulls with their empty SUV-size strollers pushed by the toddlers. I need to find another market so I can use it myself.
