This was "one of those days." No, it was not a disastrous day. Instead, it was a day where everything was a little bit off, and led me not to accomplish much.

I may have mentioned that my apartment's super was coming over today to work on the bathtub water faucets. To do this, I had to be up early, so that I could be ready anytime he was to come. This meant that I would be dressing as Mario today, as I would be able to take care of some errands that required the presence of me in boy mode.
Once dressed, I put two loads of laundry into the wash, and then took care of errands. Between the time I put clothes into the wash and then the dryer, I picked up some lunch. Once the clothes were in the dryer, I deposited $440 in checks and took out $140 in cash to pay my super for his time and materials. Laundry was done by 1 pm, so I had the time to sit and relax in the apartment until the super came.
This would be the first time I payed loose attention to the work my super was doing in the bathroom. An hour later, I had learned a couple of things about bathroom plumbing, as well as having a plumbing fixture that should last a few years. The super only asked for $50 to cover the parts he bought. But I slipped him an extra $50 to help compensate him for his effort (even though it was done on co-op time).
Now that I had a working faucet again, I could rest. Then TCL (The Cat Lady, as I call her) called just before I was about to take a short nap. While on the phone, I found that I got an email from NYS Office of Unclaimed Funds - we need 2 more documents before they can send us any money. That's OK with me, but I don't have access to certain things, and I forwarded the email to my brother for his opinion.

Thankfully, the weather will be cooler tomorrow, and I will feel better about going outside - if it doesn't rain....
