day of cleaning

first, let me say thanks to all of the veterans and active duty military personel for serving and protecting this country. happy veterans day!

second, because it is veterans day (and a government holiday), i have the day off...i know all of you are shocked to hear the word “cleaning” come out of my mouth, but its true....i spent most of today cleaning up my apartment. i cleaned up the kitchen and livingroom, did laundry, and folded all of my clothes. pretty successful day if you ask me :)
