partial move

I’m halfway moved into the new apartment because yesterday I took two carloads of boxes, bags, and miscellaneous stuff like my printer. Loading the car is a pain because I currently live on the second story, so I have to go down some stairs and across the yard to reach the car. With the new place, I can park about ten feet away from my back door on the ground floor, so shazam, hauling stuff in is a snap. My big accomplishments yesterday were:

1. Sweeping and wet-Swiffering all the floors; I got the Febreezeified Swiffer cloths, too, so now my place smells all fruity
2. Changing the toilet seat from a janky white one with worn spots to a pretty new wooden one
3. Cleaning the sinks, counters, stove top, and toilet
4. Cleaning the wooden shelves in the closets

There’s not a lick of carpet in the new place, for which I am glad because I hate dealing with the stuff when it isn’t new.  I hate dealing with carpet period, actually, even new carpet, because it invariably collects lots of hair and gets gross, and my vacuum sucks because it doesn’t suck enough so hair always remains in the carpet.  There’s some tan tile with tan grout in the bathroom and kitchen, plus that laminate wood snap-together flooring in the bedroom and living room.  I got this snazzy shower curtain yesterday at Target, and I think I’ll replace my two-apartment-old bath mat with a black one.  My back was so sore yesterday after I finished moving stuff and cleaning the floors.  The only piece of sit-down furniture I had in the new place, besides the toilet, was a fold-out camping chair, so I just collapsed in it for a spell.
