The end of the floor bed

Today I completed numbers 3, 5 and 7 from yesterday's post; First, I got a new cpu fan at this cool computer parts store I found. This place was like the stores I've seen in California, and always wanted to find in St. Louis. It's kind of like a resting place for old computer hardware, software and electronic equipment with nowhere else to go. They've got everything from oscilliscopes to network switches to 4 foot printers to games from the 90's, and all at a pretty good price. As far as I can tell this is the only store like this left in St. Louis. You can check out their website here.
I also figured out yahoo sitebuilder for a friend, and also posted the vacation pictures. Exciting!
Also today I took steps towards fixing my sleep problem. I went to a mattress store and bought a dust mite cover for my bed. I then removed all the sheets and pillowcases and washed them. I also removed the futon cover and washed it. Boy was putting that back on a pain in the ass. This thing completely surrounds the bed, the mattress is heavy, the bed is in a corner so 2 sides are difficult to get to, there isn't enough room in here to pull it down onto the floor, and being a futon mattress, it's all floppy so I couldn't just stand it up. Whew... I also vacuumed the surface of the mattress itself and the floor surrounding the bed. Tonight will be the test, and if I wake up all stuffed up and dizzy tomorrow morning who the hell knows what's causing it.
Also, I started using Feedburner, so welcome to any new folks that result from its use, and enjoy!
