Score!

My building has a wonderful laundry room. Now, it's nothing special in terms of the washers and dryers (though we do have nice front-loading washers), nor in the cushy chairs and TV/VCR setup to provide a mindless alternative to homework while watching laundry, nor in the all-too-few and very overcrowded bicycle racks. No, the wonderful thing about this laundry room is that people leave stuff there. It's like a Goodwill donation center without having to go to the Goodwill. Just leave your stuff and let other people take it. A lot of the stuff is junk, but I've gotten some pretty good stuff there. Some clothes, a hat, and some kitchen items. But yesterday I picked up the crowning glory of the laudry room. Yup, this chair. It's the perfect size for curling up and reading, or just sitting with one's feet up on the coffee table. The seat hits the right point on the legs, and the back is exactly the right height to rest my head. It's very comfortable, and in quite good shape. So, after a long day out with Mom (hooray for girlie days!), I finished the day by lugging this chair up five flights of stairs to my room. But it was worth it! And Alice likes it, too. :)
