My apartment is being painted, starting this morning. They have told my landlady it will take three weeks, and I will be fascinated to see how it can possibly take three painters (yes, three!) three weeks to paint a one-bedroom apartment!

She has offered me the use of an apartment owned by her father, starting next weekend, if I want it. I don’t really want to have my work disrupted, so I may not take her up on it. I’ll wait to see how bad the smell of paint is and then I’ll decide. The last week will be the bedroom, and that’s when I’m most likely to want to move out. But we’ll see.

I’m really happy it’s being done though. It wasn’t really in bad shape, but just a bit tired looking. This will spruce it up. I love my apartment!
