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.

I'm skewed like woah, but 1300-2000 is a good estimate.

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.
