To Recap

The Week From The Very Hot and Arid Place:

Monday:  Disposal not fixed.  Try to do dishes around it, back hurts significantly from standing on the floor, leaves a lot of dishes not done.  Dishwasher still has smelly water in the bottom and doesn't run properly, and gurgles back into the side of the sink with the disposal.

Tuesday:  Disposal fixed.  Notice to clean apartment for inspection the following day.  Proceed to stress oneself and eat a bad burger, after three and a half hours of cleaning.  Call in sick.

Wednesday:  Alternate cleaning and being sick from the hours of 9:30 am to 4:30 PM.  Apartment is mostly clean, still decluttering, but almost all of the trash has been taken out.  Don't pass inspection, but vast improvement on the day before, have 14 days to finish cleaning and keep it clean (easy enough now that the big things are out of the way).  Be sick some more, eat a decent meal, flop in bed for some much-needed computer time.  Look up at the ceiling in time to see the crack start dripping as it's pouring rain, and discover it's no longer dripping, it's a small stream.  Crack is three and a half feet long, and WASN'T THERE BEFORE.  Emergency call to maintenance, can't fix it because of the darkness since is coming from outside.  Advised to keep bucket under it to catch the drips.  Proceed to insomnia stage, despite exhaustion.  Move to living room, set up computer and keyboard, proceed to knocking over brand new fountain drink of Mountain Dew onto freshly cleaned carpet.  Almost start crying, not for the fact that I like Mountain Dew, but that it had been a long day, and that was my singular reward.  Move on to dropping really nice guy from Washington into vats of acid and burning him with lasers in Portal 2.  Finally go to bed at 2 am.

Thursday:  Wake up to dog freaking out.  trudge into living room, find maintenance guy at the door.  Show him the crack, then have him leave. Proceed to fall asleep for another hour and a half.  Wake back up and drag self to work.  Proceed to have to listen to calls from a month ago to review how well I am/am not doing. 


Friday BETTER involve something funny, something sweet, or, at the very least, some more Mountain Dew.
