The word of the day...

...is "clusterfuck". Can you say "clusterfuck" boys and girls?
"Klastafah"
Very good!

Short form: I am in Lowell. I have not closed on the condo yet. Because the delay is the builder's fault, the builder has put me up in the Lowell Doubletree. I have a new tentative closing date of Friday, 5/4, at 1 PM. The movers dropped off all my stuff, which is in the new condo. I spent most of today unpacking. The kitchen is mostly reassembled.

Long form: too tired to type up right now, but it's ranged from "Oops, found a lien on the building that we didn't know about until the day people were supposed to start closing" to stepping in someone's gum. I'm here, I'm OK, and about all I can do is laugh at the comedy of errors. Especially because most likely the biggest error was mine in attempting to tight-schedule around construction.

You have my sympathies.

Now, what do all these fucking keys go to?

Do you -really- want us to start offering suggestions?

Square head, silver: top lock of the apartment door (which was the only one I left locked)
Round head, brass: bottom lock of the apartment door (lock is rather dodgy, so I didn't use it)
Diamond head, silver: there are two of these. One opens the laundry room at the bottom of the stairs, the other opens the storage room at the other side of the bottom of the stairs.
Oval head, silver, small: mailbox key.
Square head, brass: exercise room and tennis court.

And because it's not clear, the apartment's mailbox is the leftmost one in the mailbox block.

I think I have a couple spare keys that the movers packed up before I grabbed them. If I find them, I will mail them to Ava.
