nasties

I braved a wal-mart adventure because the man said they were sending some money. finally. after two months. They had vacuum cleaners on sale, and you know I was thinking I need a new one. After chatting up the woman in electronics, who is my same age, she says... You know, it takes forever to get rid of stuff you collect in college. I agree. My mom got me my vacuum right after I finished school, some 12 years ago. Miracle it doesn't require gasoline.

I'm cheap for these things, so dropping $68 was like taking blood. But I thought, what would good ol' mom say? She'd say, "Son. Get you a good vacuum. You know you like to put stripes in the carpet, and it helps with your allergies. Get you one with that HEPA filter and spend some money." So I reasoned, hell. 12 years is good for a vacuum. It took a full hour to figure out their damn display.

To the chase. I got one that has that clear bagless jobbie on front. You don't have to buy bags (which requires a trip to Wal-Mart). I ran just the living room and my office, even though I just did them yesterday. Yeah, I vacuum like three times a week. But I wanted to be like the TV commercial and prove that this here is more effective than what you've been doing with that OLD machine... redecorating with dirt.

Nasties! Nasties! Nasties! Do you have any idea what lives in your carpet? I was horrified at what I saw in that clear plastic cup. I ought to wear thongs (the sandals, mind you) in the house. It's wreched. Get you one. I'm oddly addicted to it already.

recovery

Well. I've recovered from standing in the rain most of Sunday afternoon. Amazingly I didnt get sick. Since I don't have to work this week, I'm just sitting here reading email. Nothing great, but nothing really bad. We'll see if my email provider actually received all my damn messages.
