Apartment
Now that we've been here a couple of weeks, I can say I've found a couple of things to like about this place:
1) The light switches are low enough that Corwin can reach them to turn lights and fans on/off himself.
2) The complex has an exercise room with both a recumbent bike and the same weight machine I was using at physical therapy to work on my knees. I've been going up there 3x/week to work out; I like it that I can continue my routine here.
Unfortunately, the list of stuff not to like just keeps growing:
1) The arm in our cheap dishwasher came off the other day. Turns out it just snaps on and Andrew was able to fix it himself, but I'm still wondering why the heck it came off in the first place.
2) The right rear burner on my stove did not work. It's been fixed now, but the fix involved replacing a part, which means that the knob for that burner no longer matches the knobs for the other burners, and in fact the new knob is blank, which means I just have to guess where between "low" and "high" I have it set.
3) One dumpster for the entire apartment complex. Located at the front outside the entry gates. Means I have to either go for a reasonable hike carrying my trash in the Texas heat, or else put the trash in my car and drive it up there. I didn't realize when I picked this place that that dumpster was the ONLY ONE for the complex.
In other news, I had a dentist appointment today. My teeth are fine for another six months. Yay! :)
Not a ton else to report, really. Need to find motivation to stop playing Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook and actually do useful things with my free time.
