Cold Comfort

Cabinet as of today Jan 4

Well, today was Day #2 of welfare. I missed the deadline for the promotion without exam test. Man, I am still a little out of it man. I did take care of some errands today. Walked Mike's dogs, brought laundry to laundromat and got a bit o food at the Fresh Grocer. It was again real cold out today. Very cold for sure. I am not used to it and can't find the long johns. Found out the apartment is pretty cool. Since I do not pay electric, time to find a space heater.The long-awaited cabinet arrived. The landlord installed it part way without the doors. He wanted me to see if I liked it. Well, yes in fact I do like it there. Nowhere else to put it. You will note that it
right above the oven. There was a suggestion for a range hood. I have no ventilation near the oven as you can see from the photo above. I got some suggestions on that matter.

True - add that to the long list of fire hazards! - That's not going to happen with this landlord - would be a miracle - no place to vent except out the window - but may be worth a look at ikea or the home depot for kits that provide an exhaust fan option that is modular and easy to install?

I suppose I should inquire the landlord about getting one of them. In the meantime a friend is coming over to help with the electrical and maybe get a drill, since I can not find mine at this time.

They have cheap hoods that blow it right back at you. We had that in our apartment in Greenbelt. Maybe $60. It is probably worth it for fire protection. The landlord proly has an old one in the basement lol. I'm making pigtails for tomorrow. 12 guage. Going to graingers on the way up to Philly!

I have a Therepy apt at 7:15 pm, so its going to be busy. Got to use my phone reminders since I just missed a Dr apt that was at 10 tonite. Now its time to sleep. I need to get covers for these IKEA Pillows

2011 to 2012

My Apartment January 1st 2012

Well I ended 2011 very quietly. I hung out at Pat's and geeked out on the computer. I went on Facebook and deleted alot of messages I didn't need and removed some friends from Facebook.
Yesterday, Wes and I went shopping at IKEA to get very basic stuff for the apartment. I got basic items such a towel rack and a shower curtain.

Installing the GFI near Sink

Most items were inexpensive but it did add up to a tidy sum. Wes and then met up with Stewart and Helen. Stewart put a GFI in the apartment. Before that could we had to get to the electric box. We did and were relieved that it was breakers instead of a fuse box! I wanted it done because it's near the sink.

Wes and Stuart Jan 1st

When that was done, we went over to Wes's house. I gave Wes my mother's Christmas present. It was glasses from the Union League.

New Years Eve

I saw Amy and Samantha for the first time which is really cool. Samantha has a cool playroom in the basement that Amy fixed up. We talked for awhile I then drove up and saw my mother, had a yummy dinner and watched the Giants smother Dallas. Boy that was fun!!! I then drove back to West Philly to walk Mike's dogs.
This warm weather will end as of tonite.lets welcome 2012!
