Ahhh.... What a virtuous feeling. Last night I did the laundry (well, most of it) and spent an hour and a half cross-referencing files so I could fix that mistake I mentioned before.

Today I feel all smug, like I'm finally getting on top of things. (Anyone want to take bets on whether it's the calm before the storm?) Nothing like "sacrificing" a few of your leisure hours to make your own life run smoother. Last night's plan of not even sitting down until the "chores" were done worked well.

Got a cranky broadcast e-mail from the property managers yesterday saying everyone should shut up, the A/C is fixed, and the building would start to be cooler today. Fortunately I didn't take too much on faith and I'm wearing light clothes. It may be cooler, but it's not a lot cooler.

Due to a "trough" or maybe a "ridge" or something over Utah, our cooler weather is "stalled." Basically this means we're back in the 90s for the rest of this week with a possibility of 100 on Saturday. I've had a fan going on the server closet for three days and I have another one in my own office.

Today's chores include finishing up one coding job and testing it, then running through the 32-step process required to upload a freaking graphic. (I remain bitter about that.)

Also, I need to go to the bank and make that deposit. While I'm out, I should gas up my car. I am, once again, running on fumes. The biggest problem with a gas-efficient car is that I gas up so rarely that I find it hard to remember to watch the gas gauge. (But it's less-efficient in the summer, when I'm running the A/C a lot.)

Actually, I should do that pretty soon. Before it gets hot outside. (Or, I could wait until the end of the day, leave a few minutes early, and do it on the way home.)

Tonight: Cleaning floors, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom counters, doing that last load of laundry, and taking out the trash.

I'm really boring when I'm not aggravated about things, aren't I?
