My plans for this weekend were to take it easy doing household chores and spend a little time w/ Charles getting his new place together. On Saturday I had just started in on the chores a little after noon, I always get a late start on Saturdays no matter what I plan, when Charles came by. We stopped on the Plaza for a late lunch and then went to Bed Bath and Beyond to get the last few things he needed for his new place. He has just rented a house out in Lenexa with a friend but will have his own suite, so he needed shower curtains and all the trimmings. Before we knew it, it was 8:00 in the evening, we somehow spent over three hours in the store and didn't even realize it. I would better understand it if we had looked all over the store but we stayed the whole time in just the bath accessory department. When we finished we went back to his place to put it all together. His roommate showed up w/ two friends from Lincoln. Sitting and talking with them made me feel as if I and my friends are real under-achievers. They were around 30 years old. One was an exec in public relations and the other was a lawyer. We talked of their travels to Europe and their jobs. As I said it make me feel as if I have done nothing. They were in town to party for the weekend. They were running around playing and getting ready to head out. Charles and I joined in on the laughing and playing along w/ our work trying to set up his room. It was around eleven before I got home and called it a day, still w/o having done any of my chores.
On sunday I was just finishing up my laundry when I noticed what appeared to be a stain on my carpet. I not only coudn't figure what it was but knew that I hadn't had anything near where the spot was that I could have unknowingly spilled. I gave it some thought and decided that it was just a ply of light and continued w/ my chores. A few minutes later I decided to take a brake and while I was sitting in the quiet I heard a dripping sound coming from the area near my window unit. It had dripped a little water a couple of times in the past so I got up to clean up what I expected to be a small mess. When I walked barefooted on the part of the carpet that earlier had looked as if it were a stain it was wet. How could my carpet be wet in the middle of the floor. I walked over to the air conditioner and found the carpet wet all the way over. My air condidtioner wasn't just dripping a little water, it had a steady stream coming from it. I dropped the idea of getting any more chores done and started to clean up the mess. Though I had finished several loads of laundry that was it for the day. I spent the rest of the day trying to clean up the mess from the air conditioner. It was after 8:00 before I quite. I was bone tired and decided to spend the rest of the evening responding to some e-mail. By the time I went to bed I was more than happen the next day was going to be Monday.
Ciao for now |
