minutiae
I feel like crap. Still dizzy, now also out of breath and so fatigued I barely make it up the basement steps carrying a basket of laundry. I hate this. I hate having to ask people for help, and I hate it when I ask and they make that little exasperated sound in the back of their throats.
Now, with that out of the way...
I have fallen a little more in love with the Shark. This is probably at least partly because it's part erector set and it's fun for me to take it apart and reconfigure it (also I am resting, i.e. sitting down, during the reconfiguring part). But also, man does this thing suck.
It sucks things off the industrial rugs in the kitchen, it sucked up the jurassic doghair tribbles from the corners of the bedrooms, and it sucks things from under (and nearly reaches the back of) the sectional. It probably would reach all the way under the sectional if I used the appliance attachment, but I'm too lazy to try, and I kind of have a, "If I can't see it and it doesn't smell don't worry about it" attitude about dirt. It even tried to drag all the tennis balls out from under the sectional. I really appreciate being able to walk through the house and do baseboards and corners without standing hunched over. That position hurt even when I was in better condition.
You know, usually when companies shoot for The Best of Both Worlds, it's a dismal failure. I have a name for these: Dodge Rampages. Too little cargo room to make a good truck, too little passenger room to make a good car, they are actually the worst of both.
In fairness, Rampages are now niche classic cars, and they are at least cute.
So far this vacuum is the best of at least two worlds--upright, and cannister, with a little broom, dustmop, and portable thrown in. It's really light, which is good considering my energy level. And it's so quiet, Cobie isn't afraid of it.
I say "so far" because I've only had it a week.
I just filled a tall kitchen bag with dog hair and dust, and didn't spill any on the floor.
Woot!
I'm looking forward to trying it inside the van and on the steps.
Did you hear that? looking forward. To vacuuming.
Well I could go on about more nothing, but I have homework, of course, because it's Sunday and no matter how hard I try, everything backs up onto Sunday. So, until next time.
