Alright alright, I’LL blog again.
Disclaimer—Cat is sitting on my wrists so all spelling mistakes are the cat’s fault as well as my faulty elementary education.
Mr. Floporama and myself are doing very very well. (cat has hit 4 keys on the computer pulling up strange menus)
We have been renting a 1200 sq foot town house literally 200 yards from Mr. Flop’s employer. He walks to work which is a closer walk than his assigned parking space at his employer. (Cat is considering falling asleep. Deliberation is over.) We’ve been living here for not quite 2 months. We found a house this week that suits us (pictured above) and we will close on the house no later than the 10th of April. We are very excited for this development.
Cat is bathing now.
There are some things about living in an apartment complex that I will miss. I want to name these so that my by invitation only, very privileged readers can also be reminded of apartment complex joys.
1. There is a diesel dodge pickup with every supped up muffler attachment and lift kit available—that leaves for work at 5a.m. every morning. The thing is so loud it shakes the building.
2. Our neighbors downstairs are very unsocial. They play xbox continuously, fight occasionally and create a general hum of background noise.
3. The old woman downstairs and not directly underneath us has 3 DOGS. They bark all the time. I see that she got in trouble for killing the lawn in front of her apartment from the dogs peeing all over it. I do not envy the next occupants. x
4. Our apartment has the smallest amount of cupboard space of anywhere I have ever lived (and I’ve lived in many dumpy apartments.) We converted the full size double closet in the bathroom (who puts a double closet in the bathroom?) into our pantry. It is kind of gross to walk past a toilet to find a cup of sugar.
5. Cat will miss the stairs though he only gets to enjoy the inside set. Our new house will be on one level and the cat loves flying at his top speed up and down the stairs to be on the level we don’t want him to be on. I will enjoy moving all of our crap down from the 3rd floor when we move.
6. Is there ever enough convenient parking in a complex?
7. One of the advertised features of our complex was “upgraded appliances!!!!” Upgraded means black in color and nothing more. Our freezer on top, bend-all-the-way-over fridge on bottom is about a foot narrower than the refrigerator space. Looks cheap to me J
8. The washer and dryer are reversed. This means that the door to the dryer opens into you instead of into the wall which becomes very difficult to move wet clothes into the dryer because you keep running into the door.
Don’t get me wrong, I would tell anyone I knew if they needed to rent to rent where we have. They are new apartments and an awesome location. But I think I needed to record these features so that I’m more excited for a monthly house payment.
Cat is asleep now.
