Aug. 3rd, 2012 11:59 pmMama woke me at 7:20 today since she wanted an early start. We don’t have the air conditioner in the new apartment yet, just a fan, so she wanted to go start cleaning before it got too hot. We stopped by my grandmother’s to grab my copy of the keys that Bear made yesterday and dropped them off. Today, Mama and I tackled the kitchen. I watched the fridge. All the little nooks and crannies. We also lined some of the drawers and washed and put away half of kitchen things. We will finish it tomorrow. And I’m going to tackle the bathroom. The apartment is not a terrible mess or anything but I think it was empty for a while and it is dusty and wasn’t clean to my standards. There is a lot to do and I’m glad we have another three weeks to do it.
Bear called around noon to say that super was going to come around 3:30 to install one of the air conditioners. Mama and I were ready to go home after more than three hours of cleaning but we obviously hung around. We got sandwiches at the deli – very delicious – and ate them at DunkinDonuts. And we went around different discount stores were I was picking up little things like a mop, welcome mat, step-stool, bathroom mat, etc. Then we waited in a hot apartment with no air conditioner. The super only showed up at 4:30 and just took a look at the air conditioner. He and his son will install this one and the one Bear is bringing on Sunday and he will fix a small leak in the kitchen sink. But we basically hung around half a day for nothing. Bear will deal with it on Sunday.

Olympics. NBC spend 30 minutes of primetime coverage to recap 1996 women’s gymnastics and only showed one long jump. Argh. I took a shower during volleyball coverage and then watched some swimming, running and throwing just waiting for the trampoline. Trampoline is amazing! They are jumping so high and all those twists look complex and beautiful. We only got to see three routines, though. I’m going to try to catch the replay for this, because that was awesome.
