Jodi and I had gotten into a cycle of "Ben hasn't vacuumed in weeks, so Jodi's allergies prompt her to want to spend evenings away from the apartment, so Ben can't vacuum", lather, rinse, repeat. Unpleasant and frustrating. And the carpet situation was just as unpleasant and frustrating as I was.
So last night while I slept, Jodi moved a bunch of crap to the perimeter of the living room, and this morning I vacuumed the living room. That's a great start, and I'm glad Jodi thought of it.
Do we make a great team or what?
Note: to those of you who actually overheard the process by which we discussed the situation, the preceding question was totally rhetorical. I swear.
And now for a very brief breakfast (no, I'm not talking about edible briefs, but
loucheroo's comments on
mariness's journal are making me think of 'em), washed down with one or two Diet Rockstars. That oughta sharpen my mind enough to focus on XSLT programming all day... I hope.
