The busy days continue here at Villa Sternberg. I made Kouryou-chan one of her favorite lunches this morning, egg salad sandwich and more of that yogurt mix. She seems to be liking it and I'm getting more protein into her, which is good. She was very well behaved getting off to school this morning. I appreciated that.

I've got Brain back up and running and have even updated the schedule quite a bit. It's weird actually having free memory. It only has eight megabytes and usually I kept it full. Right now, thought, it's got only a minimal database. I'm going to get fanatical about backups, I can tell.

I had a productive day. I finished steam-cleaning the living room, tidied up downstairs, then took everything out of the utility closet and proceeded to clean it up. That includes a complete wash through the Barney Box (so named for its purple and green color) in which all of Omaha's and my, um, toys are kept. I threw out a lot of things, mostly condoms and lube that was out of date. We haven't actually taken the Barney Box anywhere since Kinky Couples shut down, goddess, it must be almost ten years ago. I also put away all of the Christmas stuff.

I also took more electronic junk to the recycler, stopped by the store to pick up flour and rice and some good cheese, then took Kouryou-chan home.

She got her hour of television, then FallenPegasus stopped by to pick up the dead laptop he'd left here. I made risotto for dinner (standard risotto recipe) with olive oil and proscuitto instead of butter, so I fed Pegasus as well. We chatted and played with Kouryou-chan (taught her the 'five' song from Schoolhouse Rock), and then he took off, leaving me with her. She was easy to put to bed after a couple of Beatrix Potter stories.

When I got home, the DVDROM drive started working, and it turns out that the ALSA mixer settings had been set to Mute the Master output.

How does one steam-clean the living room such that the floor isn't left so wet that it ends up smelling for weeks?

My wife refuses to let me practice until I get it right. :-)

I'm not sure. I have a Hoover SteamVac that we bought about the same time we got the kid. As an investment, it was priceless. I was just very fanatical about closing off that part of the house and running the fan to keep air moving, and used the vacuum on the rug over and over until no water was visibly coming up the intake vent. The floor dried out in about eight hours.

Sounds like I should quit with the RugDoctor rentals and get one of those. Thanks!

I strongly recommend buying one. They cost about the same as ten rentals anyway, and they're much more powerful anyway. They haven't been abused by multiple former users.
