even some Adolph's Meat Tenderizer
Wednesday, November 8 2017
I drove into Uptown this morning, mostly to get a new battery for the Subaru. I went with the most expensive option, though I don't remember if that is prudent or not with car batteries. I also bought various staples at Hannaford: bacon-flavored tempeh, a variety of Amy's vegan soups, and crackers, including a bag of "Jamaican water crackers." At Herzongs, I bought ten half inch by four inch galavanized lag bolts with washers, and at the liquor store I spent nearly $100 replenishing the laboratory's bottom-shelf liquor cabinet as well as replacing a couple depleted bottles in the more respectable living room liquor cabinet. (I would never buy Jameson for myself, but it's a good thing to have in the living room.)
[REDACTED]
So at times today I took breaks from my work to vacuum. Some of this vacuuming was conventional, as in the living room and up the steps to the upstairs. But some was also deeply unconventional. Neville's unnoticed habit of shitting and pissing into the carpet in the basement Gunther bedroom is something I'd dealt with a couple weeks ago. But it still smelled gamey in there, which was bad (since that could be the place where a houseguest might spend an extended stay). So today I flooded the pissed-in parts of the carpet several times and then used the big new shopvac (which I'd bought just for this purpose) to slurp up the water. In the third flooding, I mixed in some steam cleaner soap, Dr. Bronner's mint-flavored soap, and even some Adolph's Meat Tenderizer (in case there were polypeptide chains that needed to be broken down).
