New apartment

I moved into the new apartment today. Plenty of wind today, but not any rain. This afternoon the wind died down, then it got hot and sticky. Today was not without its annoyances. I found out at the last minute the movers wouldn’t take anything not in a sealed box, including 6 milk crates full […]

Renter’s remorse

I’m thinking moving to the new place was a mistake. I picked up my keys today and took a look at the apartment. Several annoying things, quite frankly AMLI has spoiled me. This new place just isn’t nowhere as nice as where I am now. I could’ve sworn I asked for first floor, but they […]

Boots and exams

Incidentally I did some shopping this weekend and took advantage of it being a tax-free weekend for clothing. I upgraded from a pair of basic black roper Justin boots I’ve been wearing for the past month (after I had just broken them in) to Lucchese full quill ostrich boots. The comfort is an order of […]
