I spent three hours yesterday trekking around Ithaca in the pouring rain, trying to find a fake rock in which to hide my spare keys. Apparently these things do not exist anymore -- the closest I found was a hideously tacky statue of a giant ladybug perched on a rock, which rather defeats the purpose of being inconspicuous.
Bah.
While out in the deluge, I did manage to buy a shower caddy, a dishrack and drainer, and a new hairdryer to replace my old one that died with a metallic ping immediately followed by a hideous screeching, grinding racket yesterday morning. (I was afraid it was going to catch fire before I could turn it off and unplug it. Fortunately, there were no flames.) I also returned a library book and bought an omnibus edition of My Enemy, My Ally, The Romulan Way, and Swordhunt/Honor Blade. Sadly, I still have not managed to find a copy of The Empty Chair. *pouts*
Today I hauled the last loads of stuff over from my old place and turned in my keys. Now I just need to call NYSEG and tell them that after the June bill, they should transfer that electricity account to Mr. and Mrs. B, and I will be free of all responsibilities toward that apartment. Yay! (I am not, however, looking forward to calling NYSEG, not after my repeated issues with their billing department.)
