then, i wanted to stay up all night and finish cleaning everything, but i was essentially only awake long enough to eat, and then fall asleep again, until close to 9:00.
i did stay awake for most of the day and was able to
- finish most of the laundry
- prepare and measure the wood for cutting (tomorrow, apparently)
- lysol the walls a few times, to varying effects
- silicon around the front door, which was the last really bad spot in the apartment, i think
- put a back on the second bookcase, by cutting up the cardboard box the table was mailed in.
so, when i get the wood cut, the only thing i'll have left to do in the bedroom is fill some of the cracks in with some wood filler. but, i'll need to wait until april.
further, i've got everything back in order in the studio, and can get back to placing items in their proper place. there is just one thing left to do first, which is thoroughly clean the bathroom. i intended on finishing that this evening, but i've been having difficulty keeping my eyes open.
is it the drugs upstairs? i actually can't tell anymore. i've blocked so many cracks and holes that it's down to a dull, background smell. but, my tolerance is so low that it might still be triggering. and, i mean, it's still gross in terms of background odour - it's a seriously unpleasant odour. but, it's muted. a lot....
i don't know what to do next. i could maybe silicon the crack between the ceiling and the wall, but i need to trace what's left of the smell, first.
i wanted this all done by yesterday morning, and was hoping to set up the recording pc this weekend. it looks like that will need to wait until next week, instead, and that i'm probably just going to get done the cleaning by the end of the weekend.
