Wow, what a night! (don't get any ideas!! :-) I slept for 12 hours last night. I must say I cannot remember the last time that has happened to me. I just crashed after coming home from work and feeding my face at around 7:30 in the evening, and woke up at 7:30 in the morning. I am not one of those people who can usually just make up for lost sleep by napping as long as I like, so I am quite refreshed and happy.
Work has been hectic with more meetings than I can keep track of. I wonder if it will settle down from this level, or if this is normal. I only sat at my desk for 20 minutes yesterday.
The weather has been quite nice, except that I have been way too overdressed for it with my work clothes. Shorts weather is already here and I can't wait till the weekened to wear sandals and shorts. I also got an excersize bike last weekend so I hope to ride it somewhat regularly in the mornings. I don't want to lug a bike up and down 5 flights of stairs, and anyways I wouldn't be able to ride in the winter.
Last night I found out that 3 apartments have sold in our "mudk" (stairwell), plus the first floor shop which is almost finished will have "food and makeup". So lots of new remonds will be starting, but may as well have a bunch at once. Maybe we will be able to apply for natural gas to be brought to our building now, and get more motion sensor lights in the halls. The one bedroom across the hall from me sold for $20,500 (it is very run down) which is certainly much higher than what I paid, but still pretty reasonable I think. I did not even know any of these places were for sale!
Here are a couple of humorous ads in Gind (Kint), which is a classified ad newspaper. When you read the first one you'll see what can still be considered as "features" in this day and age in Yerevan. The second one shows just how stingy they can be with information. I don't know how they plan to sell the place, whatever it is, since I have included all the information they give and I have no idea what they are selling.
