channeling that Capricorn goat energy
Jan. 12th, 2020 06:55 am(Okay, how is it that I made it to this venerable age without knowing that the Capricorn goat is actually a sea-goat? I had no idea! But I am so intrigued. I am currently taking a decongestant/antihistamine combo, my brain is not capable of reading anything longer than a sentence fragment at the moment, so I have no idea what the story of the sea-goat is. But someday!)
Apartment Inspection Progress:
*I have made it look less like I am hoarding vitamins for a post-apocalyptic future by moving some of them into a box. (I work at a company that makes vitamins! We get a lot of free stuff! I am chronically challenged at turning down free stuff!)
*I have tidied up the blankets on the sofa and daybed. The cat is unsure how she feels about this. I've promised to mess them up again after Monday is over.
*I have cleaned those little trays under the stove burners for only the second time since I moved in. (A little embarrassed by that low number, not gonna lie. They look great, though!)
*There is no way to make it look like I am not a crazy cat lady. I'm not entirely sure the inspectors will believe that I only have one cat. Plus side: she is adorable. Minus side: she bites? sometimes? (I'm going to leave a note.)
*Based on the college wisdom that it is always better to not be present when the fire inspectors come through, I am not planning to be present tomorrow.* This may change if I am still sick. Oh, the drama of it all! (*I think this was just because they weren't allowed to open drawers and stuff, but they could ask you to do it? I do not think this is true of apartment inspectors. My understanding is that they can pretty much look anywhere they want, but mostly they don't want to.)
*Talked to one of the downstairs neighbors yesterday who WILL be here tomorrow, and it sounds like he's definitely planning on bending the inspector's ear for more than his allotted ten minutes.* I support this plan fully. (*They gave us a time window, and if you divide the time by the number of apartments, it's about ten minutes per unit.)
*I have no idea what this post says, because every time I try to re-read it, my eyes glaze over. Such is the way of things.
