Loving… cooler weather! It’s been in the upper 60s in the morning and evenings and low 80s during the day. I am loving it! Hello, Florida Fall. We’ve been waiting for you.
Loathing… the fact that my old apartment complex is charging me for a carpet replacement. It’s a $400 charge and I’m just rather annoyed about it. I thought that’s what my pet deposit was for, but apparently, what I paid was a pet fee, not a deposit. A fee is simply the price to keep a dog in the apartment, a deposit goes toward damages. Isn’t that absurd? I’ve never, ever had to pay for pet damages in an apartment, so I’m quite peeved and really happy to tell everyone I know to never, ever rent from this complex.
Reading… The Ramblers by Aidan Donnelley Rowley. I’m reviewing it for TLC Book Tours and I have about 50 pages left. It’s really, really good and I’m just in love with the way the author writes.
Watching… season five of Gilmore Girls! I have heard that it’s the last great season of the show, so I’m a little nervous about what seasons six and seven hold. I don’t think I’ll finish the series before the four-episode special comes out, but it’ll be better, I think, because I can finish season seven and jump right into the special! I’m also re-watching The Office, and it’s just as fantastic as I remember it.
Anticipating… two date nights with my lady friends. Tonight, I’m going to see Girl On the Train with a group of coworkers friends and then tomorrow, I’m meeting up with Former Roomie, Bri, for a night of mini-golf and dinner. I am stoked for these next two nights of good, old-fashioned girl time. My soul needs it!
Thinking about… switching back to glasses after a few years of contacts. I love wearing contacts, but I keep having eye irritation as a result of wearing them. I get the irritation right after I put in a new pair (something about the solution the contact lens comes soaked in must not react well to my eyes…), so it’s not from improper contact usage. The irritation is really quite painful, and I’m thinking about giving my eyes a break from contacts for a while.
Needing… an actual weekend with zero plans. Lately, my weekends have been jam-packed and full of things to do, people to see. It’s a little overwhelming for this introvert! I try to keep my weekend plans to a minimum because I really enjoy lazy, low-key weekends at home. Hopefully, I can carve out time for a planless weekend soon!
What are you currently loathing, reading, and anticipating?
That sucks that you have to pay for the carpet replacement after giving them a pet deposit. 🙁 I hate unexpected expenses like that! Enjoy GG – I just finished it earlier this year and it’s such a great show! Season 6 was not my favorite but besides that, I really enjoyed all the seasons. I can’t wait for the bonus episodes. I was planning to watch them the day they come out, but now I’ll be in Spain (!!!!) so I am going to have to really try to avoid spoilers!!
I am currently loathing Donald Trump, I’m reading “50 Easy Questions for Christians” which is a book Phil selected for a little book club we are having about religion/faith, and I’m anticipating our trip to Oregon – we fly out in a couple of hours!! I have The Ramblers checked out from the library right now and am hoping to get to it before it’s due back at the library (I’m soooo backlogged on books right now!).
Wow, that’s extremely annoying about the carpet fee! I always assumed that’s what they charged the pet fee for too. Annoying!
I love weekends with no plans. They’re few and far between though!
I have been so MIA from blogland and so behind on emails and feel so very out of the loop with things BUT! I wanted to tell you that I am anticipating Noah being born on YOUR BIRTHDAY! When I got our C-section date the first thing I did was yell to Pete “That’s Stephany’s birthday!” Also, I am loathing the presidential debates and both candidates. I hate feeling like we have to pick between the lesser of two evils this year. I know very few people who truly like one or the other. It’s so scary.
I would be so irritated about the carpets. I have never heard of a fee instead of a deposit. Do you have the contract you signed? I would scour that to see if there are any loopholes to get out of paying that because, well, $400!! And if not, I would be right there with you telling everyone I know to never rent from them.
Hope you are well, friend! xo
I have a zero-plan weekend coming up & CANNOT WAIT. It’s been a loooong time coming.
I’ve been getting a lot of eye irritation these days as well so I actually mostly wear my glasses to work now and only try to wear my contacts for working out or if I’m doing things on the weekend. I don’t really like wearing glasses very much but they definitely irritate my eyes a lot less!!
Oh, The Ramblers is on my to-read list, in fact, I have the book sitting on my nightstand already. Do you read Aidan’s blog, too?
Pet fee? I don’t have a pet, but also never heard of it. Ridiculous.
