rescue-girl!

so, apparently, today was my day to rescue women i love. (well, yesterday, at this point, since it's friday already)

first, i got a call from one of my best friends explaining that she had gotten into logan and was driving home and had managed to get lost in boston. she was parked on the side of the road, upset, talking to me from her cellphone. she described where she was and what businesses were around her, and i used the POWER OF THE WEB to figure out where she was and gave her directions to get somewhere she knew.

then a few hours later, claudia needed a ride asap to get to the cleaners before they closed so she could get her coat to wear it out of town this weekend (she leaves tomorrow, so the deadline was, in fact, looming). she had called a cab and there was no way the cab would get there in time. so i helped secure my position as Best Girlfriend Ever and drove to her work and took her to the cleaners (yeah! i took her to the cleaners, man!) and then back to work where she was going to meet up with her brother.

in house news, i got a fair bit of stuff done today. i painted most of the baseboards (i need to go over the edges later, with a smaller brush), and rough-cut and stained the edging that will go at the bottom of the baseboard to bridge the gap between the baseboard and the floor.

i feel quite productive. yay productivity.

of course, i also managed to slice my thumb open pretty thoroughly on the edge of a paint can, cutting it from the first knuckle to nearly the tip of the thumb, on the pad. a little deeper and i would've had to consider getting stitches. happily, i was able to just band-aid and duct tape it.

we have liftoff!

whenever my front-loading washer goes into extreme spin mode, it sounds like it's going to launch itself into orbit.

otoh, looking at it now, i think i may need to shim it slightly. there's a hint of a wobble.

i'm sure it's because she's a boston girl
