I Actually Acted on Info Gleaned From a Forwarded Email
And I’m a little excited about it.
Help me, people. I’ve gone insane.
My dryer hasn’t been drying my clothes very well and I read in a forwarded email that I should scrub the lint filter with a nylon brush until I can run water through it with no puddles forming. So I did it.
Do you see what January has made me do?
Also, I think I’m going to paint the wall that has been painted like this for at least 6 months:

I guess I got all burned out on painting after doing the basement, Lena’s room, Liberty’s room, Maya’s room, my room, the living room, the kitchen, and the dining room. I thought I had enough in me to do this small entryway, but once I put the blue on the wall, I lost steam in a big way.
Maybe this little project will kick off the finishing of a couple of other little projects, but I doubt it. I still need to paint a small hallway, and the stairway that leads to the basement. And the computer room. Damn, I forgot about the computer room. There’s a lot of crap in that room. Oh, and I want to repaint the kitchen and part of the dining room. I probably won’t, but still.

I think it worked. I had a load of whites in there and I have a couple pairs of socks that never dry the first time around, but they’re dry. I’m cautiously hopeful.

Yeah, me three. Our dryer doesn’t seem to work so well either. H recently took apart the vent tube that goes up and out (from the basement) and it was full of lint-crap. That helped but only marginally.

I have a dining room chair with 6 colors of paint on it. I didn’t proceed to paint it properly or to paint the other dining room chairs and table because when I put the swatches on, it was far too hot to paint outside. Last July.

P.S. I was hoping that you had received your large amount of cash from Nigeria. Because I’m still waiting for mine and if you had yours, it would mean it’s starting to roll in.
