So Im pretty much moved in. I still have organizing and all that, but its going slow because the nice weather has me outside grasshoppering rather than anting, but Im living just fine. Ive ordered a couch and am still wondering what the hell to do with all of my shoes. But what I have really been waiting for is a washer/dryer because my laundry has been piling up.

At my new apt there is a passage that connects my apt to the neighbor behind me. in that passway is a washer/dryer hook-up that we 2 neighbors share, but we have to provide our own units. The apt behind has been empty and Ive waited to do something until I knew what my neighbor would want.

Last week the apt rented and I could not have had better luck in the who-will-it-be dept. He is 29, cute, educated, helpful, fun, and quiet. He teaches high school Spanish and says fuck a lot (in English). I like him. Figuring out what to do about appliances was a breeze. We sat out on my back balcony one evening drinking beer, went on Craigslist, talked about it and bought them. Then we just hung out and had fun. We had them delivered here today, to the bottom of the steps.

I have pretty much always had good luck with my neighbors, sometimes making lifelong pals. How about you?

. . .

Guess who brought those heavy, unwieldly things up all of those steps? My neighbor and his 2 strapping young brothers!

I have views from all angles now. Cool.
