Not as much as I wanted, but..

gridloreGot some cleaning done today. Specifically, I mopped the kitchen (it will need a second pass, and I need a new mop) and cleaned off the dining table.
Before
After
Tomorrow, I need to do a run to the store. I think I'll pick up the new mop then. It's weird, and probably a result of my Army days, but I get more excited about cleaning supplies than Kiri. Of course, I've also worked as a janitor, so it's in my blood. I may swing by Cost Plus World Market and pick up a second wine rack for the table. Then I'm attacking the living room! If time permits, the bathroom.
One very weird thing. I went down this morning to do a load of laundry, only to find damp clothes in both the washer and drier. I pulled the laundry out of the washer, started my load, and when I cam back, nothing had moved. So I pulled the load out of the drier, and repeated the process. Go down again, discover the drier has no heat, feed it more quarters - and the other apartment's laundry is still there. Now, nearly ten hours later, and nothing has moved. Never mind that the notoriously cranky machine has futzed up again, who leaves their wet clothes in a shared laundry room all day on a weekend?
My beloved Giants clawed their way to another win today, that's four in a row, close games, all won with small ball. The way we won Thursday was classic.
In the bottom of the ninth, Emmanuel Burriss, a rookie, shows remarkable patience and draws a walk. He steals second. Moves to third on a Randy Winn sacrifice fly. And then comes home when a wild pitch gets away from the Marlins catcher. Walk-off run without a single hit being recorded, and Burriss only advanced one base on each play.
