First Friday

Well today was my first Friday (my only day off) at the new apartment. Got to sleep in until 10 a.m. None of the businesses are open until around 4:00 p.m. because of the Holy Day. So it was a relaxing day until I started hearing the chant of the local mosque. I probably should have checked that out before I rented the apartment. You need to know where the local mosque is in case you are in direct line with the mosque speaker system.

I had a late breakfast and I will inform you that boxed milk is not too bad. One cannot compare it to good old fashioned, ice cold, Marsh 2% the kind you have with a slice of French Silk pie from Perkins......yummmmmm.....but it made my sugar Smacks taste pretty good.

I spent the morning putting a little sketch together of my apartment. I do not have Autocad on my Mac, but my Sketchup software did OK in a pinch. I knew my apartment is large, but when I did a quick calculation of the rough dimensions, we are talking a little over 1600 square feet for one person. I need a maid.......

Speaking of maids, my landlord’s wife is going to look into having someone take care of the place once a week. I think the going rate is about $35 a day for maid service.

Now I just need to find a laundry service close by and I will be all set.

The satellite TV is my next project. I currently get 705 channels. 28 of those are in English, of those 28 we have 10 news channels, 6 Christian channels like 700 Club, one old US movie channels, and 10 QVC channels, one tennis station. Glad I brought some DVDs from home. I am looking into another satellite system for the roof. If I buy Showtime, it is $50 a month, if I get a different satellite dish, it is $150 total cost. I will do some more research on this other satellite deal.

Thanks for checking out my blog and sending comments......enjoy your two day weekend.
