But I wonder if your apartment doesn't come with a storage room?

Each building here has a basement, and each renter can have a set amount of space.   I don't have anything down there.  The tables fit neatly under my bed, and the folding chairs for it fit in the back of the closets of my bedroom.

It will be a little tight, but now I can host dinner parties of 8.   

You could also act out your fantasy of walking the runway at Fashion Week!

This reminds me of when a local radio station was changing hands. 

There was a period of about a week when it was neither the old station nor the new station.  During that week they played Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping (I get knocked down...)" song over and over and over again.  For a full week.  24 hours a day.

I got a kick out of it.  And it's not nearly as annoying as "99 Lead Balloons". 

Oh I dont know Paul.. that would drive me more crazy then 99 Red Balloons.. and Chucky! Are you sure you didn;t have a speare $35K that you used for that appeal!?!

Hello Bettermost friends!

Yes, the windows were my goal today, and I got them done (along with the grocery shopping).   

It's funny the things you don't notice because it's "out of sight" and then you notice it for some reason.

In my apartment I have a large picture window, with two smaller windows on either side.  Because of the heat and humidity, I've had the blinds and curtains pulled, to cool off the apartment.  This week the heat wave broke, and I was able to open the curtains and blinds and let the sunlight in.

It was then I noticed the window frames.  I guess new windows were recently installed, they were filthy.  They had dried glue, tape residue, and some kind of greasy residue as well.  Yuck.  I broke out the cleaner and a paint scraper and spent an hour or so on the window frames, and they are now clean!   They may not be perfect, but they are much cleaner than they were.

Groceries are put away, dinner prepared, garbage cleaned up.  Everything looks good!

Thank you Kelda!  I swear, some people!   

As for the $35K.......I wish I had those "additional" funds just laying around!  I'd be more comfortable!

Yes, because I've always wanted to be a model!   

Kelda, don't encourage her!

I see. Seems like a practical solution.

Good for you for not having tons of stuff to put in the basement. I know some people....ahem....

I'm trying to be mindful of not becoming a hoarder!

Hello Bettermost friends!

My second week starts without my supervisor, Maria, around. 

Truth be told, Maria is not the woman in the picture at all, she doesn't manage that way.  I do have projects I need to complete before she gets back, but I'm not having any problems completing them, and she should be very happy when she gets back.


 
Hope everyone is doing well today, and had a good weekend!
