In my last blog post I talked about moving into my new place and how fun and exciting it was. I am all moved in now and starting
to notice the little things that I looked past or didn't notice when I first looked at the place. Don't get me wrong, I love my new place and it's still exciting to be there. But now that I am moved in and comfortably living there, as I go about my daily life I am starting to see some things that need to be fixed. For example, a piece of the floorboard that separates the kitchen from the living room is missing and my big toe is feeling the pain. I have a nice, big balcony that I have been spending a lot of time on, now that it's finally starting to feel like summer. Within the first three of four days however, the screen door to the balcony has fallen off at least a dozen times. Turns out, the screen door is bent and a few wheels to keep it on it's track are missing. This is extra annoying since I have to nudge the screen door back into place every time or the millions of mosquitoes we have this year will take over my place and call it their own.
What else? Well, I never noticed the lack of cupboard space until I started to buy groceries and barely fit $100 worth into them. Not to mention the dishwasher, which I consider a lifesaver, has a bit of a leak to it. Oh the joys of a new place! On the bright side, I am renting this condo so anything that needs to be fixed is taken care of by the landlord. Music to my ears...or so I thought. All of the small things that need to be fixed will be, but the question now is how long will it take to have these annoyances corrected. I guess for now I sit back, relax, and play the waiting game.
All in all though, small annoyances included, I couldn't be happier. The items that need to be fixed will be fixed, and it still feels like I have taken that next step into the future. I'm crossing my fingers that nothing else goes wrong from here on out! That's possible...right?
