Apartment apocalypse

As have already written, we have had some problems with our apartment. Yet another problem that surfaced during the weekend was one with our mexican friend Esteban. Basically he could not really afford to live with us and we had to talk to our landlord about him moving out. The problem though is that me and Magda lent him the money for the deposit and the first months rent. Now we are doing our best to get that money back from our landlord who is not very happy. It is a good thing we haven´t signed a contract yet because then it would have become an even more difficult ordeal. Throughout the weekend poor Magda has not had a proper door to her room, nor access to her bathroom. Besides those obvious discomforts a few other small things has not been working the way we were promised. So as you can see, when we needed to deal with all of this today, it got pretty apocalyptic. I will not bore you with more details of our day but lets just say it looks like most of the things are under control now. But I am getting really fed up with the 'mañana' attitude as well as all the hassle. Come on, just fix the damned door(s)!!!

My only excursion today was to the laundromat. It wasn´t exactly my idea of afternoon fun, but atleast it was better than sitting at home waiting for the overly-friendly janitor. I finished three machines for me and Magda (yes we have not washed since we arrived, dirty pigs we are) so now my rom smells of fresh laundry. I kind of like it. Tomorrow we will get up early and do important stuf like re-bandage Magdas foot at the hospital, shop for a desklamp, more hangers and an adapter for the electrical cords. I am really looking forward to it; I need an eventful day!!!
