Jodi and I had gotten into a cycle of "Ben hasn't vacuumed in weeks, so Jodi's allergies prompt her to want to spend evenings away from the apartment, so Ben can't vacuum", lather, rinse, repeat. Unpleasant and frustrating. And the carpet situation was just as unpleasant and frustrating as I was.

So last night while I slept, Jodi moved a bunch of crap to the perimeter of the living room, and this morning I vacuumed the living room. That's a great start, and I'm glad Jodi thought of it.

Do we make a great team or what?

Note: to those of you who actually overheard the process by which we discussed the situation, the preceding question was totally rhetorical. I swear.

And now for a very brief breakfast (no, I'm not talking about edible briefs, but

loucheroo's comments on

mariness's journal are making me think of 'em), washed down with one or two Diet Rockstars. That oughta sharpen my mind enough to focus on XSLT programming all day... I hope.

As soon as I got home, I saw that the Sears repairman had come and fixed the dryer. The labor charge was $120, and the parts (a genuine factory-approved drum belt) cost $20. That didn't include hooking the dryer up to the exhaust vent properly, as I had chosen a vinyl hose a year or two ago, and he said it'd be illegal for him to work on it.

So good night, LJ readers. I'm sure I'll be complaining/bragging again tomorrow.

This was one of the busiest days of my life.

( But you'll probably enjoy reading about it. Click here to read the whole thing. )

Oddly, it was only when I was typing this entry -- not any other time tonight -- that I sneezed from the dust. I suppose my guardian angel had wisely gone to bed. I shall follow. Tomorrow I will probably be late for work again, as I must courier Jodi's term paper to campus before her professor goes to Germany for the rest of the summer. But then comes the weekend.

And the weekend will probably make today look like indolence.

I got my advance copies of Computers In Libraries Thursday, and showed my article to Jodi's side of the family while we were there. We attended a wedding (I'll give details in private, since I think very few people here know the former Miss Y. Gagne) and then returned to Tampa.

I cleaned up the living room, cleaned the kitchen, cooked rice bread and curry and brownies and other good stuff, and took a break before cleaning the master bedroom and attached bathroom.

We had snacks and a few drinks at

segnbora and

tregoweth's place, an event which was repeated last night by

jitterbug5bi5 without us, but possibly to be repeated tonight WITH us. (Or with

turtlebat23, anyway, since I'll be in class until 10pm and home around 11pm.)

And on top of all that goodness,

jitterbug5bi5 is on track to get paid twice this month, which will make everyone involved very happy. I hate mixing friendship with landlordism; neither purpose is well-served by the combination.

So now all I have to worry about is a friend in Gainesville who's having major psychiatric problems; she's in good hands, though, so I imagine my prayers for her are superfluous.
