No writing last night, but I got my apartment sparkling clean for my parents coming over for dinner tonight. My mother's been bugging me to invite them over for dinner since I moved into my place last July, so I finally gave in and they're coming over tonight. Man, my apartment has never been so clean as it is right now.

I sent in the application and checks for Clarion today. Over a thousand bucks, wham! That was a hard check to write. But it'll be worth it, to be sure.
