Dana, if you figure out the house selling mojo, please to be sharing. Don't wanna be a downer, but mine is still sitting on the market with nary an offer.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My very kind and considerate PhD supervisor managed to get me an extension of two weeks in my dissertation deadline, due to all the computer problems I experienced in the last few weeks.
Oh, that's got to be a relief!
My house will sell even if there's a stain on the counter, right?
Yes.

This is such a relief. Now if we could figure out a way to help you get your work done and some sleep!

I'm so glad, Nilly.

Yay for Nilly's kind and considerate PhD supervisor. I hope we still get more late-night Nilly, though.

Yes. (Have you tried paper towels soaked in bleach?)

I was thinking about bleach. The cleaning crew, who did an otherwise great job, responded to the message I left them yesterday with "Yeah, tried to get it out, sorry."

I usually leave a bleach-soaked paper towel on the spot for about five minutes, then check its progress. You can kind of mush the paper towel to roughly the shape of the stain. If that doesn't work, there's always the strategically located basket of treats.

Punishingly Intricate

That was going to be my suggestion! at any rate, a stain won't prevent the house from selling. not at all!
This morning my window unit AC started leaking like crazy into the house. Of course I noticed this 20 minutes before I had to leave to take my dog to my friend's house and catch a ride to work before going to Vegas for the weekend. I'm sure it's just that the ac tipped funny or something and it should be easy to fix but I get back in late Saturday evening and the ac is screwed into the window frame so a pain in the ass to shift. grrrrrrrrrrr

Coding and Sleeping
I had a seriously stupid dream last night. I was in college doing my final for a some sort of pirate engineering class. The final consisted of building a ship with Legos(tm) and dressing up as a pirate. For some reason the professor, who looked like Neil Patrick Harris, was making doing self body piercings part of my exam but not part of anybody else's.
Then my dream suddenly shifted to a walking around in a stream, but after I was done, I decided to complain about Ricky's exam to the school administrator. The school administrator, who I never actually met, was Professor Mcgonagall although the school was completely unrelated to Hogwarts.
I ended up talking to another professor who looked like the Gimli the Dwarf. He thought that the exam was perfectly fair even though I was singled out for the body piercing.
My dream ended with me pondering why every course I had taken with a professor named Ricky ended up sucking.
Weird.
ION, nobody mention to Tommyrot that there is a Ford Galaxie 500 for sale right down the street from my house.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gud, what did you have to eat last night?
