Rug Doctor

Wednesday: Slept in after yet another late night. My old habits have come back in a slightly new form. Reluctantly left the bed. Shower. Down basement for morning practices. Drove out, stopping at the paint store, buying some tinted primer, and some interior wall paint. There's something hopeful and cheery about paint stores. A place devoted to making things fresh and clean. Dropped off a DVD. It rained a little in the morning, but was clear once I turned towards the office.

I was going to do more on my new project, but several small bugs in my in-box derailed those plans. They were all simple to fix. Walked out and got a couple of slices of pizza and an energy drink. Noticed that, the new guy behind the counter was still there, and that in fact, all the employees were different, and the pizza was different (thicker crust). I suspect a change in management. This would be the third owner since it was renamed "Tommy's Pizza" some 10 years ago. Finally got to work on my new stuff in the late afternoon. Reviewed the global design goals. Came up with a slightly clever data structure for the next large object I'm going to write. Alx managed to get under my skin, with some comments related to XCode. Headed home around 7:15.

Drove the the supermarket in Medford, and rented a rug cleaner. Back home, got things going. MB returned shortly. Realized we were missing anti-foaming agent. Ordered some Chinese food, and went out to pick it up, and the anti-foam. Back, MB ate a little while I got to shampooing the furniture. She vacuumed upstairs, and attended to a few other things, while I continued. Then the rugs. Once it was all done, and more or less put back together, I ate some food. It was a bit off tonight. I found some Chicken in my supposedly vegetarian dish. MB took out the trash, and I took out the recycling. I gave Leo a little spin in the back-yard. Soon bed.
