five degrees of activation

tonight has been blissfully cool in chez hessie as compared to every other evening this week. just five degrees cooler and i'm a not-so-lean, mean, cleaning machine. the dishes are done, the laundry is laundered, the big brother pile is finally finished being boxed up, the carpet is vacuumed (that was a bonus brought on by two pounds of rice being accidentally spilled in the kitchen), horizontal surfaces have been decluttered, and dinner was cooked. it feels so much better to be both cool and in a clean apartment again. i think i may even have a good night's sleep tonight! zzz...
