Snow Day

A snow day from work makes for a fruitful day shut-up in my apartment. Accomplishments:

• Cleaned and degreased stovetop (note to self: next time working with undiluted ammonia, wear rubber gloves).
• Reorginized kitchen cabinets: made room for my new KitchenAid mixer; relocated my spices away from the stove; and established newspaper/cardboard recycling storage area under sink.
• Finally got Raul, my super, to fix my kitchen sink faucet (which he did after [apparently] fixing an unrelated sudden leak in my kitchen ceiling).
• Added-to and organized my binders full of recipes and restaurants to try.
• Labeled said binders.
• Tidied book-nook and reorganized bookshelves (in part to make room for said binders).
• Added recently purchased CDs to my alphabetized Case Logic binders (A through C only; I have many CDs).
• Logged recent purchases in my things-I-have-bought Excel document.
• Gathered and stored broken/obsolete electronic equipment (old cell phone, iPod, laptop, etc.) in my broken/obsolete electronic equipment Rubbermaid bin.

More apartment chores remain (clean bathroom, hang pictures, store sweaters/shoes/etc.) but this is a good start.
