apartment update
Aug. 16th, 2014 11:04 amMany things about this apartment are exactly the wrong size. The bedroom is just too narrow to fit bed + desired bedside tables, and has a weird narrow wall that's too narrow to put a dresser in front of. The dining room doesn't really leave enough space to sit comfortably at the table with the leaf in. We can't fit the litterbox under a bathroom sink because the vanities are stupidly designed. The fridge has useless shelves that don't move. Etc.
Still no internet; supposedly Monday. I spent the week going over to the old apartment and working from there, because it may have had no furniture but it did have internet.
The bookcases are almost all in position, though most of them need to be repaired. The living room is more or less set up. We're using only half of the giant blue couch; the other half is going either in the office, or in the entryway. Haven't decided which yet.
The office and the spare bedroom are still disaster zones. My task for today/tomorrow is to set up the office so I can use it to do work once the internet arrives.
Most of the games are on shelves, but the shelves I'd set aside for games aren't enough, so I'll have to figure out something to do about that.
The trains are very loud at four in the morning.
The view is less breathtaking, but more interesting: river traffic has a lot more going on than either the hotel or the yachts in the inlet at the last place. Also, Wednesday morning the fog lay thick enough that I couldn't even see the river, which makes me very happy.
It'll do for awhile, I guess.
