I personally find it hit/miss depending on your specific preferences for inks. I notice shadowing on the backpages but not necessarily bleed so it comes down to what your expectations are. However, the general consensus from the TN community is that they love it for fountain pens.

Don’t like that there is water staining around the bathroom fan. I’d be getting the landlord to check it out. With the closet, you can definitely go up and use the vertical space…tall ceilings. Look forward to seeing how you style it all. Computer room and sewing room? Perhaps?

Seems like there was a repair at some point but the management company/landlord doesn't seem to concerned. I've documented everything though, just for when we move out. We are like 85% organized, I'm so ready for it all to be done! Feels like it's taking forever!

Gerry, The shower should be a quick fix. Plumbing appears to be NPT (National Pipe Thread) CP Chrome Plated. They use the I.D. inside diameter to size the pipe. Use a couple of monkey wrenches (with wash cloths to avoid scratches) to remove the showed head. Take that to the hardware store to match your spray head.

@@WeekendsWithG True, This would be a temporary reversible solution to improve showering until you can get a more permanent fix. Consider a kitchen sink hose and spray w/ push button. You then could quickly spray down the walls when you're done. :) Most are under $20. Just match the shower head threads.

If you're still looking, they make a larger sized monthly! Feel like that would be a great size for work planning as it's just more space overall and you can leave it open on your desk or take it daily if need be.

I'm pretty sure the landlord does a pre-inspection of the unit before the previous tenant left, so based on the grease on the kitchen backsplash and cabinets, as well as the crack on the wall in the bedroom I guess it's safe to say he kept the deposit. With that said, it just frustrates me that the landlord couldn't bother to use some of that money to do a deep clean of the apartment as well as repair damage caused by the anchor screws.

Yes. I was here. Been with you since 2014. When life gives me lemon, I remind myself of worst time. And then I don't feel so bad. Also, you are much stronger than you think you are so I am sure you will survivie another move. It's a shame though because you made your present home such a comfy and personalized place. Have you ever considered a tiny home? Many people in high rent cities or areas looked into tiny homes. Wishing you the best, always. Love your vlogs.

Honestly I haven't figured out the best way to utilize them yet because I'm not a journaler nor keep a physical calendar/planner, but I just love special and charming stationery goods, plus I had a friend buy them for me in store in Tokyo, so I treasure them very much. 😊 I think I may just put random stuff in them (a sketch here, a haiku there) when inspiration strikes, rather than designate them for any particular use or purpose.

Mr B!!! Thanks for introducing him so that we can have a name to go with the occasional voice. 😁 Can't wait to see all the adventures you two go on together. 😊 What did you think about the TJ's products you picked up? We have and enjoy both of those seasonings. We are blessed with no fewer than 3 TJ's within a 15 min drive, so I shop there regularly and have many favorites. If you find yourself across the border again soon, the two highest recommendations I can give are their bake-at-home frozen chocolate croissants (as good as a bakery in Paris!), and their hash browns (they look like the McD ones in shape) *if* you have an air fryer - they turn out as good as ones fresh from the drive-through. 😁😋
@WeekendsWithG
@WeekendsWithG 4 ай бұрын
I think the seasonings are pretty good, although now our Costco also sells their version of Everything But Bagel. It's a bit overwhelming with the selection in the sense that everything "looks new and different" because of their in house art/packaging. We will probably have to bring ice in a cooler if we are bringing anything from the freezer section but that's definitely something to consider! Thanks for the recommendations :)
