Returning to my apartment, I found that the inconveniently placed in
my narrow bedroom was still there— I cannot move into the bedroom,
really at all, until i can put my dresser in the hole-in-the-wall
location, scoot the bookshelf into the dresser's current place, and
then set up my bed opposite the remaining space. Were I to put my bed
and dresser opposite each other, I would not be able to open the
drawers.
Other than that, the apartment's great and has a dishwasher, back porch
and garden area. And a normal-sized kitchen (the one in the other
apartment was in a former closet.)
