Well the old drudge (namely me) is off in a few minutes. I've done the washing up, cleaned the counters in the kitchen, as well as the stove, polished the wood cabinets, and swept and mopped the kitchen floor, as well as swept the apartment's vestibule as well as emptied the trash in the bathroom and swept (sort of) the bathroom floor--oh, and taken the rubbish to the dumpster in the car park out back.
Now all I have to do is:
1. Get a cab to the office to pick up my cheque.
2. Go to Price Chopper on Cooper St, cash said cheque, get groceries and pet food.
3. Get cab back to the apartment.
4. pick up the dirtys and take said cab to Broad St laundromat.
5. Go buy myself a blinking 1/2 Polish sausage 1/2 sliced Italian sausage pizza from Talk of the Town Tavern nearby.
6. Go home and totally collapse. Isn't that a fun day off, ey? Everyone come to my place for an exciting holday! 
ADDENDUM:
Damn! I have to wait a while for the taxi! I HATE Glens Fall's taxi's!!! Oh well, I'll just listen to some more of that wonderful Doctor Who soundtrack, some more, whilst I wait...and wait.

I've got another chore for you...
This Friday (airmail hopefully as reliable as it was before) check your mail for a couple of CDs. It's a two-part episode, so double the fun !
I really enjoy your writing and the 'Music of Life' post caught my eye as Gil was reading it. I had to ask her to scroll back so I could read it again.
You have a talent.. don't let it go.
