Day One: White Catabwa & Humidity, Part Two!

Part Two, this time with a story!

The Desk & Chair Fiasco
Mom and I dragged the boxes for the computer chair and the desk all the way up those dang stairs. She unpacks the chair. I sit down to start putting it together. I have my Allen Wrench. I have my nuts and I have my cushions, casters, all that good stuff. Now, the casters and the base went together just fine. The gas lift tube thingy went in fine, the SEAT is what made me problems! So the instructions had it one way, and I had it the other, so I thought, hey, I'll just invert the instructions. Well, I didn't. Took me about five minutes to realize that the screws were in the wrong holes and NO, they aren't all the same! Well, dang, son.

Day One: White Catabwa & Humidity

So it's been most of the first day flying solo in Troy, NY, and I've discovered a few things about my moving out here, the first one being: dang, I really, really brought a lot of stuff. On that same token, if I had maybe another 6 inches to the room, I wouldn't feel like I had said problem. But, whatever. I'm still moving things around. Second thing: having plants to take care of is really reassuring! I have a golden something-or-other and a bamboo plant, they sit by the window and suck up sunlight and water. D'aww, I'm being responsible!

Ain't that a shocker.
