I worked from home today because yesterday I was felled unexpectedly by a head cold. Sneezing all day long, culminating in a stuffed-upedness at night that required a Kleenex shoved up one particularly clogged nostril so I could breathe properly out of the other. In addition to working, I also did seven loads of laundry. [...]

Arthur is right now sprawled out on top of a pile of clean laundry I have yet to put away, in part because I’m lazy and in part because it is Arthur’s favorite place to sleep when I’m working in bed. (When I’m in the living room, he’s abandoned his cat condo for an old [...]

I am getting far enough along in my apartment-settling process that I might be willing to post a few pictures soon. In the past two days, I’ve made huge progress in the living room.

We must keep clean.

I am having an ongoing battle with the shower curtain at the gym. I for some reason have chosen a favorite shower stall. I do not like to shower in any other stall, though for the sake of cleanliness, I will, if my stall is occupied. Perhaps it’s because it’s the first stall I used [...]
