badseed1980I'm getting sick of being in my apartment, much as I like my apartment.
I've been here since Wednesday evening, with the single exception of Friday evening, when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pierceheart and I drove to the grocery store to get stuff for dinner. You all know me. I DO NOT LIKE sitting around all the time. The crappy thing is that I had plans to go to a baby blessing and a potluck this weekend, and because I haven't wanted to get anyone else sick, I couldn't go. Blah. I've tried to do useful stuff around the apartment as I've felt better, though. I did laundry, including a much-needed load of linens. I even washed my sneakers. They needed it because something awfully icky got on them on Wednesday. Now, before I washed them, they had attained a uniform shade of grey, thanks to being dunked in muddy water and the like. After washing them and soaking them in OxyClean, they're mostly white again, but with grungy patches. I'm not sure if this looks better or worse.
I've also kept on top of the dishes, paid some bills, and swept the kitchen floor. I may clean the bathroom today, too. I've also gotten quite a bit of knitting done. I've finished my first mitten, and about 1/4-1/3 of the second one. THAT is making me happy. Maybe I'll have them done by the time I get my Addi Lace needle in. That would be good. Then I can just jump right into knitting my shawl.
I really am feeling a hell of a lot better now. I am going to dance tomorrow night as well as going to work. I can use the exercise!
My landlord is currently in the basement, working on the heater. Finally. I hope he'll be able to fix it without too much time or trouble. It'll be good to have that working properly before it starts getting REALLY cold.
