I spent the day cleaning despite a bad headache (it actually seemed to
help) and everything was all nice and clean and vacuumed and neutral
smelling. Then I put some laundry in and sat down to grade. Took a
break and made a nice piece of salmon in marinade I had bought. I
thought, "Oh, I'll broil it for something different." BAD. It got smoky
in here and now it's all stinky and I have the deck door open and the
bedroom window open and the air filters going and a fan pointed out on
the deck and I didn't even like the fish because I didn't like the
marinade so I just ate my salad. ARRRRGH. Then I thought Oh, well, I'll
put the clothes in the dryer to dry. Well, while putting my filter back
in, I knocked some coin into the filter well! I didn't even see it
there but I heard it go down. Now I am totally paranoid to run the
dryer. I tried for a second, but I can hear the coin a bit and then I
think what if it gets hot and ignites the fuzz?? Plus, I don't want to
ruin the dang machine. I would suppose that there is some way to get in
there from the back and get it out, but I can't do that and meanwhile I
have a pile of wet laundry. I'll have to get maintainence to look at
it. So now I'll have to squeeze into an uncomfortable pair of jeans
tomorrow instead of my favorite work ones (which will not be dry by
tomorrow.) and I'm just irritated. ARRRRRRGH. I know there are worse
things, but jeez, it seemed like an OK and fairly productive day until
all this.
