5 Things...

5 Things I Like about My New Apartment:

1. It's on the first floor...no more icy stairs, wet stairs, sheets of rain, fighting the wind, or climbing to the third floor loaded down with groceries for me!

2. My closet...it is big, with more than enough space for even 2 people's clothing!

3. Space! Also known as a second bedroom where all the miscellaneous stuff can be stored happily out of sight and mind.

4. A full size stove/oven. Yes, I appreciate being able to fit more than one thing in the oven at once.

5. Less wind and other weather noise. No strange whistling noises around the eaves. Oh, and so far fewer spiders. (Okay, okay, so this is really 2-in-1. Sorry. I am too lazy to change the title. And 5 sounds sexier than 6.)

5 Things I Dislike about My New Apartment:

1. No exercise of climbing lots of stairs every day.

2. I'm farther from the mailbox...I guess I could walk over and get that exercise I lost in #1, huh?

3. More noise from neighbors...both upstairs and to the side.

4. My garbage disposal. I have used it twice, and it has broken twice. This is not a good record.

5. My water heater. The maintenance man claims there is nothing wrong with it, but I end up with cold water after only 10-15 minutes in the shower. I do NOT like cold water in the mornings. Definitely NOT.
