Cohabitating, part... I don't know... 7?

A few more things I've noted:

1) Three cats produce approximately 1/2 a litre of hair a week. On laminate flooring, it 'pools' together due to the air stirred up by the passage of people, and fifth floor wind gusts.

2) It's really nice to live with someone who does laundry the same way you do. It's a huge thing-that-isn't-stressful.

3) Apartments are really small. The kitchens are small, the bedrooms are small, the living room is-- actually, pretty big.

4) Getting into the routines is a constant source of negootiation. Grocery buying the first time was a bit of a hassle, trying to buy groceries for two. I've evolved a somewhat strange style of grocery buying the last two years, based on gettign generic staples and some basic ingredients, THEN basing my menus on what I have. Turns otu there's a large body of folks what do it differently! Apparently you can buy gorciers by starting with the the menu THEN buying corresponding groceries.
Weird....
