Read on

It is common knowledge that over the years of my stay I have slowly terraformed my bedroom in this house making amends, changes and various upgrades to the room so it suits my comfort level and suddenly a situation has arisen where a patient now in their recuperating stages needs to live and recover in surroundings most conducive to his healing process, in that they're going to need a clean, airy, sanitised, dust free, modern equipped environment and the only room that suits his special needs is the one that I nestle in while living in this dwelling and soon I'll have to give up these four walls and take shelter in some other place still in its fossilised stage.

The issue with this sudden change isn't that I have a problem, which of course I do but there are greater needs than me though of fault only of their own to to not have upgraded into a more proper world, but let's not be bitchy, the issue with this sudden change is that I need to relocate into a room that hasn't seen light in months and years, which has now been opened and it is a humble abode to many a squirrels.

This room is straight out of movies except they never speak of the trillion cobwebs and complex matrixes of dust.
I managed a cleaning service and they took over five hours to clear up the room and that is just the hardware aspect of it because what else it needs is a geyser, a shower and some more electric fixings which might take a while and may not be wholly successful.

The bed is small, the walls haven't befriended paintjobs, there isn't any furniture, the bathroom is primitive and I might have to begin staying there come tomorrow and that brings me to the odd point as to why I'm being shifted to this oddity when I can be given any other room in this haunted mansion and the reason is come tomorrow there are more important people coming to the house (not the patient) but daughter and grandsons who take up an important pedestal and the daughter in law comes trailing in behind which is okay and also normal but that has led to the singular complication that my current room which is currently perfect for the party of three what with its modern basic amenities and all will be given to the small family before the patriarch comes into picture which is still a week away and so the party will be shifted to another better room which needn't be passed on to me and the other rooms will also be soon occupied by a small contingent as well and thusly there's no other option but find a room that must feel like Pluto on most days.
So here I am.
At wits end. Trying to cope and and hoping that at least I can get a geyser and shower fixed.
