moving was not as horrible as i thought it would be

saw the mover one day, likely to get the stuff out by next week. i did.

Started moving a few things over the weekend, but had to get a new
battery, so that slowed me down. I started unloading and
noticed a sign in the elevator. First elected condo board holding get
to know each other party. Wonderful neighbors, every age group, many
ethnicities. Good food too.

And the apartment manaer said I have a short in the circuit in the bathroom.
SO he
needed the key.

the sales agent gave me 3 keys to my front door. One of the three is
silver. I
can't figure out what it is. It;s not for my door.
