My day off

Ok so today I buckled down and finished the preparing of my cold ass apartment for the winter. I finished putting plastic on my windows, since I had to take a break since I broke my hairdryer last time. This was actually way more fun than it was the first time, and all because of a fun little tool that my dad let me have called a heat gun. I'm pretty sure by have I mean borrow as I'm guessing he is going to make me give the fun tool back. It actually looks just like a blow dryer except it is really really hot. I'm tottally considering trying to blow dry my hair with it since it worked so well on the window plastic, but my dad assures me that it is not a good plan. However I'm kind of getting tired of trying to dry my hair with a luke warm hairdryer. I know I could go out and buy a new one but I kind of feel like being all Tim Allenish and trying to dry my hair with more power.
In addition to this window plastic that I put up, I finished sealing all my doors with that sticky foam stuff. I went through like three roles of that shit trying to seal up all the cracks. Now I can't really get my doors open and closed well with out pushin really hard, so will see how long this lasts. Then I thought if everyone puts blankets up to keep the cold air in mabye if I put blankets over my doors it will keep some of the cold air out. So I pinned up blankets over both my doors. I'm not really sure how this is going to work with going in and out of them, but I'm really fucking cold so i'll pretty much try anything at this point. Plus if you only open the door like ten inches it does work out so bad. The blankets are not quite long enough to make it to the floor so I might have get something else to put at the bottom of the doors. Though this was all really good fun I assure you, I'm also quite sure that if the people that owned this place just got new windows and doors that weren't 40 years old things would be a whole lot easier for me.
I know what your thinking that was already a very productive day for me, but alas I didn't stop there. Then I cleaned the kitchen. I mean I REALLY clean the kitchen. I even washed the floors. I know that in itself is shocking, but then I cleaned the bathroom. Let me tell you I was starting to wonder why I paid more money for a shower curtain that wasn't supppose to get moldy, since my seemed to look a little moldy as of late. Turns out you just have to wipe it off who knew. Seriously who knew. Now its like new. Which is sweet because even though I can't really see without my glasses, and generally don't take a shower with my glasses on, I was starting to be able to see the mold in my shower. An really does one feel clean take a shower with mold so close to oneself. No but you'd be surprise how long one can live with it.
All thats left is my living room which I can't really clean because H won't bring me my Damn VACUUM back. There are you happy H I spelled vacuum right for you. I love that you forget you are almost as bad of a speller as I am.
