It's rather tragic, the look of expectant horror on my face whenever I flush the upstairs toilet now. I'm always expecting it to overflow and sweep across the floor like Napolean's armies. Seems to be working, though.
As an aside, a rather wonderful present from Daniel means that Michael and I are going to go to Seattle sometime this semester. I've never been and it seems an exciting turn of events. I don't know that I can thank him enough.
Other than that, the snoring roommate has moved out and the goofy German PhD student has moved in. The house's energies are already realigning and metamorphosing into something new and different, but a lot more positive. Even before our massive cleaning binge, the place looks about twice as clean as it did on Thursday. Remarkable. Everything seems so alive with potential.
Especially the story, which I'm working on today because the draft is due for workshop on Wednesday. I'm reworking whole sections of it, and I also have to go line by line and make sure it sparkles. Sparkles.

You don't have to thank me enough. You and Michael are friends that I happen to care very much about - and it's my pleasure to do something fun for friends. I just wish I could do stuff like that more often. Cheers and hugs.
