View through sliders in living room
This is the view out the sliding glass doors in our living room. What a hoot!
Six days in Vegas
Wednesday was spent waiting around for the furniture to arrive. Around 3:00 the big truck pulled up outside our door and two large beautiful black men unloaded the beds, dressers, lamps, kitchen table and chairs and livingroom furniture. It was all arranged according to my directions. After they left we realized the couch and chair were probably rescued from a dumpster. They are pretty ragged. Thursday Dad called to tell them we wanted something better. They said they'd bring a replacement today (Monday). But they were a no show. Saturday I finally got around to putting all my clothes away and found my dresser had a drawer whose front that just fell off when I went to pull it out. It also must have been rescued from the dumpster. The kitchen table is nicely hidden by the beautiful table cloth I bought and the too low chairs are heightened by the pillows I bought for the seats.
I've been driving around Las Vegas and find it is filled with not only casinos, but liquor stores, cigarrette stores, fast food, slow food, 7-eleven's and Starbucks broken up by strip malls with grocery stores, dollar stores, and more eating selections, check cashing stores, banks and gyms. Actually, anything you could possibly want is found withing a short distance from anywhere. I found a Thrift store where I got a pretty nice blond wooden desk for the desktop computer for $25.00. It's the nicest piece of furniture in the apartment! Good thing I have a van.
I had an interview Thursday at a school that was dangerously close to the Outlet Mall and went to the Saks Fifth Ave. Outlet store afterwards. Expensive visit. But I now own two more pair of slacks and a pair of really cool shoes. The interview was good, the shopping was great.
My airport wireless network wasn't working properly so Friday I took a trip to the Apple Store at the Fashion Show Mall on the strip to have it checked out. And filled out an application for a job while I was there. My talk with the manager was very encouraging. I'm now waiting for a phone call for a real interview there. My airport was adjusted (for free) and I celebrated by stopping by the Godiva store across from the Apple Store and buying expensive chocolates.
My first trip to Boulder Station, across the street, was after returning from the Apple store. I found Dad handicapping in the horse book. After a couple of races he and I went to the big Buffet for lunch and had a variety of food and then another variety of food and then some dessert. Dinner wasn't necessary that night.
Today is Monday and I waited for the phone call from Apple, the furniture rental truck and a letter from Clark County Schools. None of them happened. But I managed to redo my resume for Apple with lots of bling. Dad went to the Y and signed up for the winter.
The weather has been very very nice. Rain is expected this week. We'll see.
