All I did today was clean the basement. I think I started during, “This American Life,” which is on between 10AM and 11AM and our last trip to the dump was around 6PM. We only took 3 trips in my sister’s Corolla station wagon. I suppose it would have been cheaper if we could have stuffed it into the pickup truck (there’s a minimum charge by weight) but you make do with what you have. When I was finally done I blew my nose and my boogers were black. Our basement isn’t the cleanest place. The worst part is that I’m not close to finished. The best part is that I had other people convincing me that we need to throw crap out. I always hem and haw about it all. The worst part is that I’m not close to being finished. I’m fairly sure I’m past the halfway point, but there’s still a lot more to do. And after that comes the rest of the house.<\/p>\n
