beladona Memorial Be warned:in this very rich environment where you can immerse yourself so completely, your emotions will become engaged -- and not everyone is cognizant of that. Among the many excellent features of SL, there is no auto-return on hearts, so be wary of where your's wanders...
It was what weekends are for, relaxing. Reading. I finished the Day Two of Rothfuss' The Kingkiller ChroniclesThe Wise Man's Fear. I really wish fantasy writers would break out of the trilogy mold but that is too much to hope for. I enjoyed reading both of the books so far and can recommend them.
There is a bit of excitement going on with the apartments where I live -- another management company has taken over, the third in as many years. The notice came out on Friday, informing us that all the leases and security deposits were the same, and giving us the slogan "your life simple". The previous company seemed to be doing rather well so I don't know what the problem is. The buildings are on the older side, but the units have been rennovated and mine is rather nice. There have been power problems which are more than a little annoying, but then again, that is a comment on PepCo rather than the Enclave. Living on the 20th floor means that when the power is out, I don't have any water and THAT is more than a little annoying! The elevators get jammed up and sometimes you have to wait when folks are moving in and out, but on the whole, I really like it here. But anyway, the previous management didn't seem to be doing so badly, so we will see what the new brooms will accomplish. The website and the Resident Portal are both down and emails to the office are bouncing, so I guess it is just a time of transition. They had offered to switch out my showerhead for me, and my balcony screen door is unaccountably refusing to close, and that is why I know you cannot reach service by email or online, so we will see how long it takes them to do these two things. At least the lights in the hall, which had been out since before Christmas, have been fixed
Spring is officially here -- and we are starting off the first full day of spring with a thunderstorm. The thunder actually woke me up -- well actually Kula did that. He really doesn't like storms and at 5AM he was being rather vocal about this one. Driving in to work I could see that lots of folks spent the weekend working in the yard! Bet the garbage collectors know when they will have bags and bags of stuff waiting for them by the curb... Don't remember what the trees are, I think they are oak, but right before the leaves peak out, these little red nibs fall all over the place. Saw a car that was literally covered with them! Bet those are going to be hard to clean off now that they are wet and sticking. Forsythia bushes are blooming and I saw some daffodils too....
The good news is that this will be another short week for me! I am taking off this coming Friday to run more errands.
