Day 3 of My Stay-cation

I don't know if you are familiar with the term "stay-cation", I was first introduced to it by a Starbucks co-worker. It is when you stay home for your vacation, no hassle of traveling (not that I could really afford that anyway), just relax and stay home. I have done some much needed cleaning. Daniel's musk had started to infiltrate the rest of the house, he says I should say manly smell because it sounds better. When I first moved in lat March, the stench smacked me in the face when I stepped in the door, which by the way was a feat in itself as there was so much stuff piled everywhere. I really turned this place around, but lately we have be slowly reverting, part of which is my fault too. Anyway, I did 5 or 6 loads of laundry yesterday, as the stench arises from the pile up of sweaty work clothes and damp towels. The odd thing I learned when doing his laundry the first time around, some I could not get what I think is the Daniel smell out of all of them. My hypothesis is that he wore them too many times without washing them that the damage became permanent. Anyways, the smelliest ones I either donated or boxed them up and I put them in the closet outside on our porch. Why we have a closet out there I do not know.

Today I am going to tackle my room, grade some of my final exams, and organize my workspace at school. We will see what I really get done. Peace out, I am hungry.

PS: I am working on Christmas!!!! However, I have no one to blame but myself. It is on a volunteer basis. I decided to take one for the team. I got Thanksgiving off and I am getting New Years eve off. My boss has been really great to me especially since I started juggling 2 jobs and he really needed people. 'tis the season of giving.

sometimes smelly things have to be washed more than once.

Remember what we talked about, bailing out your boss so he can get a cash bonus does not mean it would be out of order for you to ask for some cash bonus as well. Why not get your reward in the same form as the boss?

I visited your apartment and it was very clean and wonderful. I don't think it is all that bad at all. If only Daniel would accept the sealed clothing hamper concept that Chris uses (he uses a garbage can with a lid). If Dan can keep his dirty clothes in a closed up container, maybe his smell won't permeate so much.

In Daniel's defense, Monica borrowed my car and I discovered an odor eating plastic sandal hanging from the rear view mirror. Everyone who subsequently rode in my car commented on how great it smelled. Thanks Monica, I guess I am now a stinky manchild. She said my car smelled like sweat and farts, now it smells like PiƱa colada, sad thing is I don't know which smell I prefer (everyone else seems to know the preference immediately).
