If we had not tracked sand and salt into the apartment last time it snowed, and if I had not been too busy to vacuum it up, it would not have gotten into the sheets. And if it had not gotten into the sheets, I would not have had to change them last night. And if I had not had to change the sheets last night, I would not have had to pick up Rob's beautiful titanium laptop off the bed. And if I had not picked Rob's beautiful titanium laptop off the bed (and if I had not earlier weakened one of my fingers by smashing it in the mechanism of a tray table), I would not have dropped Rob's beautiful titanium laptop on the floor and wrecked its CD drive, a maneuver that will cost me hundreds of dollars I can ill afford.

He did a good job of pretending it was all right, though.

This is turning into a boring, what-I-did-today kind of blog. Tomorrow, I will post a song I am writing.
