Another Bunch of Random Stuff

1. Our shower/bath is broken: we can't turn off the water. We called all 3 numbers we had for the landlady, and none of them reached her: I had to call home and get the number for her father off the lease. He tried to direct me to the basement to turn off the water (well, he wanted me to take Steve, who's summer apartmentmate number 1's boyfriend and my friend, with me), but the basement door was locked. So a plumber is supposed to come tomorrow, hopefully in the morning.

2. Our third apartmentmate for this month moved in today. She has the room nicely cleaned up and she's moved herself in pretty quickly. The whole place is cleaner than it was for almost any of the last year. My room is about the same: I can't figure out where to start on it, on my own.

3. I took out my recorder and was playing some Telemann (before the shower broke): it's harder than the stuff I usually play when I just pick the instrument up randomly- I really could hear how out of practice I am. Even though it's recorder. I should play more- once I start, I miss it.

Apartment Frustration

After hanging around all day to wait for the plumber promised by the landlady's father, I called the landlady again, who hadn't heard about the problem at all. She then did proceed to call plumbers, and make an appointment for someone to come tomorrow between 8 and 10. So today's waiting was wasted- not taht I'd have gone out So much otherwise, but I have a few errands I should have run.

On the other hand, I'm babysitting tomorrow for my friend's son whom I haven't seen since the beginning of the semester (he's approaching 1 1/2), so I'm rather excited at that.
