Tomorrow he's agreed to come over with a team and clean up his mess. We'll see how that goes. I plan to supervise. And we'll see if he pays the back rent and utilities he still owes.

And yes - I'll be changing the locks. It will be so, so good to be rid of him!

I'm still getting used to the incredible beautiful quiet of the house with them gone. And how immaculately spotless it is now that I've erased every trace of them (save for the attic). I'm on edge as if they'll burst into the room at any moment like usual.

It's seriously been a traumatic year. But hopefully, after tomorrow, I can put it all behind me.

Thanks again.
