As I am wont to do when I'm on vacation and not traveling, I spent large parts of today making my apartment fit for human habitation again. Three bags of recycling and two and a half bags of trash, and two and a half hours, got it to a state of "clean except the floors". I wasn't sure the floors were going to dry before bedtime if I washed them, given that today also started with torrential downpours, thunderstorms and a tornado in Revere. Hasn't rained since then, but I know that if I put out the Free Books box, it will pour some more. (This is a shame, because the Free Books box has been taking up space for ages and I'd really like its contents to find other homes. Not gonna happen if they get rained on, though.)

The original plan was to get up, burn through the cleaning list, and then go to the movies. What actually happened was more like this: get up, feed cats, eat something, declutter office/living room/bedroom while waiting for thunderstorm to be over, vacuum rugs, clean bathroom (including washing the window curtain from the shower, twice), clean kitchen. Eat lunch. Share a piece of provolone with Snip to make up for following thunderstorm with vacuum cleaner. Take out recycling. Remember fridge needs cleaning out. Clean out fridge. Take out trash. Decide to take out decluttering trash, currently cluttering up hallway, tomorrow morning as bags won't fit in trash can. Decide absolutely against washing floors on account of decluttering trash being in the way.

Take shower and put on clean clothing. Write email to parents asking about spackle vs putty for overlarge screw holes. Look up movie times. Discover it's 3:00 already and decide against going to movies today. Hang around doing nothing in particular for two hours. Feed cats.

Tomorrow, commenceth the fun stuff.
