As we near the end of the first week back to class, I thought it appropriate to do a Things to Know. Because this week has been chock full of them. Some of them are funny and some are...they just are.
- From the outside of my apartment, the windows are street level. From the inside, they start six feet off the ground and require a chair for Louise to even reach the sill.
- The bedroom window doesn't open fully.
- That might be a good thing, in the long run.
- My kitchen table is dominated by a puzzle.
- The puzzle is not complete yet.
- I get roughly five to ten minutes of pretty church bell songs every three hours.
- Mostly because the Methodist church is right across the street.
- I required a slight tutorial on how to use my shower.
- It was frighteningly simple once I was shown how.
- Some things are easier the second time around.
- Always look before you put something in the toaster and push it down.
- Case and point: Having a new toaster. Cardboard left in it. Flaming cardboard and a screeching fire alarm at 8:15 in the morning on a Thursday.
- The apartment still kind of smells like smoke.
- Be wary of standing in chairs to flip the fan from intake to exhaust.
- Fall off the chair and nearly gouging your chest on the screws sticking out of the awful paneling in the living room is a great way to start the morning.
- While the fire alarm continues to blare and there are smoking cardboard remains in the kitchen sink.
- I met the Boy Next Door because I stress baked my little heart out on Tuesday and produced cupcakes.
- BND is rather attractive.
- Have I mentioned the apartment still kind of smells like smoke?
- Tonight feels like a macaroni and cheese and chicken nugget kind of night, but I really don't want to cook after the whole Flaming Toaster Incident.
- Capital letters are totally appropriate.
- I got all my work done for this week done by this afternoon. I feel rather accomplished.
- My writing workshop was not what I thought it would be. Rather than drive myself nutzo for the next however many months, I've dropped it.
- I do feel very, very relieved.
- NYS local Riesling is quite tasty.
- I kind of don't want to work tomorrow night.
- Mostly because I'd rather try and hope for dinner with the BND.
- I think the previous is and probably always will be just a pipe dream.
- Hope your week was as exciting as mine (but with no Flaming Toaster Incident).
