Oceans Apart

Did I ever tell you about that one time when I went on vacation and somehow forgot to bring my suitcase along? Yeah, that was last week. I managed to show up for an entire week at the ocean with nothing more than the clothes on my back. I actually flung myself on the bed and cried. I’m not proud to admit that.

Luckily the little condo we had rented was close enough to a few stores that I was able to pick up a swimsuit and some things. And after a while, it didn’t even bother me at all. Turns out that packing light has its benefits.  Getting dressed every day is a breeze when you have exactly two options. I didn’t have to climb Mt. Laundry when we returned.  It actually gave me more time to enjoy my surroundings!

So with all that extra time on my hands, I freely roamed about the condo complex, contemplating life and philosophy and the bad decisions that whoever was in charge renovating the complex had recently made.

All around, in places like the hallways and the elevator foyers, were bathroom lights! Very similar to the ones you see below in Jaclyn’s before bathroom. No! Why?! Unacceptable!

Perhaps they thought they looked ‘fancy?’ That they’d really ‘class up’ the joint? Newsflash condo renovators: they looked like bathroom lights.

Jaclyn wasn’t even satisfied with these bathroom lights in her actual bathroom. They were replaced with a streamlined set of recessed lights, and nearly everything else got an update too.

So impressive! Look how much bigger the room seems! She should send her resume to a certain oceanside condo complex that I happen to know of, just sayyyyin’.
