Today was a pretty good day, despite not really doing a whole lot.  After a rather lethargic start (I slept in after going to bed late and being woken up numerous times by the dog) I managed to accomplish a lot of things that I had either been putting off, or just hadn’t had the time to do.

I got a lot of our apartment cleaned up, which always makes me feel more relaxed.  When it’s dirty I feel anxious until I get it clean, but the actual act of cleaning tends to be surprisingly relaxing for me, too.  I think it’s something about transforming chaos to order.  But mostly it’s being able to relax in a clean apartment afterwards.

Yesterday was a good day, too.  I finally moved our extra tires down to the garage from our spare closet, and bought some stuff we’ve been needing.

Probably my crowning achievement was finally deciding to caulk the cracks in the bathroom.  Our apartment has a bunch of cracks that have showed up over the year, and some of them are in the bathroom wall, right next to the shower.  So the lower part of the wall has some growing water damage.  I had asked the landlord about it, but she said not to do anything because she’s going to have them work on it while we’re gone this summer, but I couldn’t wait any longer so I decided to do it myself. 

I also took some time to make some phone calls and called up my friend Pete and my parents.  It was nice to chat with them, and I need to make more of a point to call people. 

Other than that, it was a nice relaxing day watching tv with my pregnant wife.  The only real let down of the day is that we had rented a movie over iTunes, but when we went to watch it – it was gone!

I had planned on doing a little prep work for teaching tomorrow, but I think I’ll just get that done in the morning.  I’ve usually got more than enough time.  I think now it’s time to curl up in bed with a good book and drift away to tomorrow.
