I finally bit the bullet and scrubbed out my bathroom floor after far too long with only cursory cleaning. It always depresses me, as there's flapper-era grime that won't come up short of remodelling the whole thing, and no amount of bleach and scrubbing will ever make that tile sparkly white again.
At least I can take comfort in the fact that every germ (and the outer two layers of my skin) have been Cloroxed into oblivion.
Also, the smell of bleach and the sight of what I was cleaning up seem as effective an appetite supressant as yesterday's solution.

Much less fun, though.

"Children Of The Porn".
Hee!!!
I'm skewed like woah, but 1300-2000 is a good estimate.
Also, YAY MEGAN IN SF!!!
Also also - Megan, I'll be happy to help with apartment looking/advising. There's certain companies to avoid on Craigslist, and I can ask around to see if anyone has units coming up that they're not advertising.
What the heck? I ordered a bunch of books from Amazon a few days ago. All of them said they were "in stock" or whatever it is they say. It's now saying "Delivery Estimate: March 19 - April 4."
Hil, something like that happened to me. I ordered a bunch of dvds and they didn't ship for almost 2 weeks. Amazon didn't even charge my card for almost that long.
Their deliver estimate is getting close to two months from when I ordered it. And all three books still say "Availability: In stock."
I'd call and complain.
After my experience I'm reluctant to order anything from Amazon, even if there's a discount I'd rather go and order it from someplace where I don't have to wait weeks for something in stock to be sent out.

Well, there is a similar sense of accomplishment in doing something long overdue, and a shower afterwards is called for. Those are the only common points I can think of, though.
I just recaulked my tub!
That makes it sound like I whipped out the caulking gun and redid it. However this was a multi-day process that involved much toil and knuckle skinning getting the old caulk off. I also managed to buy the last jar of caulk softener at the hardware store, only to discover when I got home that it was leaking. After I got it all over my hands, I read the warning to avoid contact with skin. It also meant hours of desperate searching for the new blades for my exacto knife. Which I never did find but I did find every Sharpie I own, which I had been looking for the previous day.) Then I discovered that the really old tube of caulk I had was dried up, and the newer tube of caulk wasn't the right type for bathtubs. So another trip back to the hardware store. After that, it was a little messy, but okay, save for realizing that I had to get the caulk out of my hair before it dried.
