Two days after I left San Francisco in July, George sealed the deal on a new condo. Now that she's signed her life away and is a homeowner, I've been anxiously awaiting a first hand view of things. My mom flew up a few weeks ago to help George decorate and organize. I know cousins, half-Persian cousins, and other such people have been drafted to help George move and settle in. The new place is very nice, much bigger than I imagined, and much sunnier. The rooms are laid out very nicely and there is a large balcony that overlooks the tops of many buildings. After a fitful night on the couch (the new carpet is too nice to sleep on), here are some of my observations -- with photos.
Upgrades:
- Fresh flowers greet your arrival
- An office nook for studying and laptopping, with printer
- Walk in closet that fits two people, but probably not three
- In-unit washer and dryer (I'm most excited about this)
- A doorman, who is a little too vigilant
- The kitchen is now real kitchen sized
- Dining room table for the two of us and two friends; taking reservations now
- New faux antique wood entertainment stand that has cool latches
- Bathroom has a marble sink area and is larger than a glorified port-a-potty
- The view is infinitely nicer, from brick wall to cityscape and ocean view
- There are now separate pillows for laying on and decoration. Do not confuse them.
- An iPhone is permanently docked to the sound system
- Walking distance to a boba shop (but I haven't gone yet)
- The bedroom is definitely wide enough for two beds, or a roomy bunk
- A stack of hand towels in the bathroom, compete with wooden bowl to deposit used towels
- Dryer sheets hung strategically around the closets to keep them fresh
- George made me put a bedsheet down on the couch before I slept
- All the stuff I left here has been boxed and put into plastic tubs
- Everything is impeccably organized, there are no stray bags or piles of stuff anywhere
- Sirens at night, lots of sirens. There must be a fire department nearby.
- My TV channel favorites are no longer programmed in
- My 24/7 donut shop is now 1.33 miles away
- I have no idea where the car is parked
