totchipandaI braved the outside world for a short period of time to run a fast errand. I was supposed to go to Nicole's today, but tooooo cold. It'll be nicer for the rest of the week, more like minus-single-digits, not -24C and another -10C windchill. BRR!
As I sat on the couch at one point, I realized there was no way in heck I was going to look at the Christmas tree box for however long, so I put it away. I was going to store the CD box away too, but it's currently stored behind some other boxes and is supporting a basket, so I left it for now. Then I got down to vacuuming all the dust off the top of the entertainment centre. And once that was done, it was time to do the floor! Guido sheds a fair amount even with his winter coat, and there's cat litter tracked onto it, and I pulled out Dad's curtain-coat, which LOVES to shed little blibs of velvet pile all over the damn place.
Rehooked up the hose, put the brush away, press the power button... Vacuum gives a little 'whee!' like it's starting up and... nothing. Press it a few times. Change power outlets, twice. No luck. My vacuum cleaner has died. I'm sad but not super sad. I'm sad because it was little and my friend gave it to me as a housewarming gift 6.5 years ago and it was just perfect for my space and what I needed. Now I have to find a new one. Which I'm a little excited about, even if I can't afford one right now and I don't know how I'll be able to, except I'll have to find a way. I already did a little looking, just to determine that I definitely want an upright, and I should probably think about something with a bit more power.
As I was thinking that I maybe needed something specifically designed to deal with pet hair, I looked over at Guido and noticed that he's having a dream, cuz his toes are twitching :3 I just love watching him dream, when everything is twitching. So cute.
I had a bit of a strange nap. I woke up and moved, which is when Guido curled up at my feet, and then went back to sleep, but in the dream I had I was totally awake. I was making sandwiches on a cookie sheet with a space heater under my bed. Some of the sandwiches were little things like scallops or shrimp sandwiched in between Ritz crackers and then warmed up. And in my dream, I'd gone to sleep while they "cooked", and when I 'woke up' and pulled them out, they'd gotten over-cooked and gross, and somehow also dusted in icing sugar? It seemed so logical in the dream, and then I woke up for real going "wtf?"
I think I'll just finish off my lazy day with some knitting or reading.
