Sep. 9th, 2009 04:26 pmSo, update.
Dan and I have been in the New Place for about two and a half weeks now. We're still not entirely unpacked and organized. I've been organizing and reorganizing things for the last two weeks trying to figure out what will work out best for everything. We've also been going through our stuff so we can get rid of some of it because we just have too much for this place. We have not yet gotten around to setting up all of our (read: my) decorations, so it looks a bit bare in here. Once we get it all up, it should be much more comfy cozy here. It's starting to feel like home.
That said, I must express some Disappointment. Apparently this place is about fifty years old, so there is no central air. There is no dish washer, so all of our dishes have to be done by hand for the next year or so. There's no microwave, either. We were going to buy one from Fry's the Monday after out move, but they didn't have that particular model in stock. Now, we have no monies. Figures. We've had to do all our reheating and microwave cooking either on the stove or in our toaster oven. It's really odd not having a microwave =/ This apartment also didn't come with a refrigerator, which I didn't find out about until after I'd turned in our applications to rent. Crap. I was all set to buy one from this guy for $100, then I couldn't reach him. When I finally got a hold of him two days before our move, I found out Hey! He sold it to his brother. Shit. Dan's parents bought us one on our move in day. Dan and his dad got it all the way upstairs and in the kitchen only to find out, whoops, it doesn't fit. They had to remove a strip of wood from the cabinet to make it fit, and even then it's only just.
OMG GUYS I HAVE TO TELL YOU HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO BE FREE OF ROOMMATES!! Seriously, even with unemployment* looming over my head everyday, I feel so much better now that that particular bucketload of stress is off my back. Ahaha, I'm freeeeeeeee!
*post to come soon-ish.
