things to do:
•clean apartment
•go to the library, get the 501 verbs book, sit, stay, conjugate
•buy router
•get new fixture thing for the bathtub (you know the handle thing that turns the water on and off? yeah, ours decided it was broken about two days ago. the water wouldn't turn off, and i got sick enough of the really loud dripping noise that i pulled out my handy hammer/screw driver and took it apart to figure out what was wrong with it. turns out, there's a tubey-like plastic piece that turns the temperature controller and pushes the on/off gidget all the way in or out. so, i took the broken part out and managed to screw the pushey gidget all the way in so the water would shut up. so, plus, there is no more dripping water every day of my life. the big minus is that i can't change the temperature of the water from absolutely scorching to temperate because the tubey thing is broken (into shards, in fact!) and i don't own a pair of pliers to torque the pushey thing in the right direction. so pretty much, i'm doing the thing where you hop into the bathtub and douse yourself as fast as possible in freezing water (you know, before it starts boiling), turn off the shower head, shampoo your hair standing on your tiptoes so you don't burn off the bottoms of your feet, and shove your head under the tap to rinse it all off as fast as possible because it HURTS. so. new bathtub fixture. or else, a note to the apartment manager on the way to school in the morning (she's been out since the problem started, of course.))
•make food to take to school for the week
...not a bad day.
