ceebeegeeWhat a great past 12 hours or so!
First, I hurried home last night from work, because I wanted to get to an Office Depot that closes at 9:00. (Let's just sit and ponder that, Manhattanites--a store that actually accommodates the 9-5er.) I get into my apartment and am greeted with the beautiful sight of my air conditioner ensconced in one of the living room windows, humming away merrily. Yay! We have cool-off! Now that corner is CLEAN and not all CLUTTERED. It looks great. My window unit is small too so I can still see out the window.
Happily I ran out the door again over to Office Depot, to purchase a plastic filing box so I can file headshots and other career stuff. On my way back to my apartment I passed a long line formed outside the new Coldstone Creamery on 42nd Street. Temptation beckoned and I joined the line. Coldstone's big thing is their fold-ins--they have a dizzying array of yummy items (M&Ms, gummi bears, Oreos, Butterfingers, peanut butter, fruit...) that are folded into the ice cream and mixed in. I got Sweet Cream mixed with Butterfingers and Oreos. Yummy. I love chunky ice cream.
Got back and was able to file the the headshots and career stuff under my computer, so now my desk is NEAT. And then I finished the manuscript for Carol, so I can send that off today.
But the best thing: Yesterday my realty office called--one of my two big checks that I wrote to them when I signed my lease (either first month's rent or security deposit) was lost by their bank. So I had to write another check, and I mentioned I still hadn't gotten my security deposit back from the old apartment. I stopped by today to write a new check and pick up the security deposit. I was expecting one month's rent which, when I moved out, was around $850. I was a little worried I might not get all of it back, because of picture hanging, etc. I looked at the check after I left the office--it's more than twice as much. It's HUGE! I guess they deposited it and it collected interest but frankly, I have little faith any landlord would do that. And that's a heck of a rate of return, especially with these interest rates!
Money! Auugh! Money!
