Kids, I just don't have that much repressed anger. (But I did name one of the rugs "Condo Board.")

I do have brand new anger at myself for letting these pretty rugs get so dirty.

It's hard to find the time to remove them from their spaces, because they aren't merely decorative. They protect the wood floor and provide welcome cushioning when we are cooking.

And they take a few days to dry when they are cleaned with the machine. Since we have this godforsaken dry spell, it's a good time to do this work.

It don't make it any easier, though.
