As far as the rest of my life, I've actually made some effort to move in to my apartment which i have lived in for nearly six months. i bought a couple bookshelves, unpacked some books, hung a picture, and bought a floor lamp. Finally, I get to upgrade from 85% moved in to about, oh, 88%. This is a big day. I've also started cooking more. Hooray for me!
On the down side, the dryers in my building have gone from $1 per load to $1.25. This means an additional quarter per, of course, thus necessitating a trip to the friggin bank to actually withdraw money in quarters. Nice. While doing so, and kind of feeling like an idiot, I was chatting with the friendly teller lady, and mentioned the reason for the $20 in quarters, which led to this sort of odd discussion of how she had a washer and dryer "right down the road"...but they weren't worth the trouble to use...or something, followed by a knowing sigh and nod from her older co-worker teller lady. So, my laundry has gotten me into yet another awkward conversation about someone's domestic issues, which is one of the reasons I stopped talking to people in the laundry room years ago (at my old place in Hyde Park I was often asked to open detergent bottles for old ladies, got to hear about dead husbands...etc.).
Good times.
