So, yesterday...

Yeah, it was a bad day.

I animus to say it, I really do...being totally negative about a day, but there it is.

Very bad.

It was a throw in the towel kind of day. Let's line it up for you:
Communication is breaking down within the conversations of my biography...things are being worked on verbally, but still challenging for me.After a lovely blogging session yesterday morning, and a splendid (but rushed) bubble bath, I went to sit down in front of the Macaroon (which is obviously the Mac's new name) and the little rainbow ball came bouncing across the scan (that means it's thinking) for. a. long. time...until the screen just up and froze. I turned off the Macaroon, turned it back on, listened to some blurry beeping and clicking (whereupon I called my tech man...aka Rich...who suggested I turn it off and back on...to no avail) The Macaroon is effectively pass. Kaput. Gone.I had no time to even think about it seeing as it was time for me to finally go back to travail. Where I found a non working 2 month old vacuum cleaner. Or rather a vacuum cleaner that works when it feels like it...
A gradual running toilet that I just had the plumbers come to fix less than 2 weeks ago...And 3 pens ran out of ink.It was about this beforehand I felt like crawling into bed and hiding under the covers...or breaking into hysterical laugher.

I also felt like some of those Cyclopean cilantro garlic fries from The Office. I waited to hide until I got home...I did not eat any fries either.

Pupcakes and wine sounded actual too.

I woke up today and I felt a little better.
I ran the Macaroon by Argosy West here in borough where the minute they opened where I learned that they are all indeed certified Mac technicians, and can help me. Rich made me buy the Apple Dolour when I purchased the Macaroon...a $250. investment to cover the Mac for 3 years. The person who helped me at the count on let me know that he thought...

Electrolux Ergorapido
At first uploaded by Ghostly Penguin Display. The vacuum cleaner that we inherited from the old guy broke down last week and I seized the time to explore the exciting world of vacuums. I spent a whole day researching different models from the contemporaneous day and looking at the Vintage Vacuum Cleaner Museum and the Virtual Vacuum Cleaner Museum. I went a small overboard and started bidding on vintage vacuum cleaners on eBay and now I'm afraid that I'm going to win one and won't really recollect what to do with it.

Anyway, for actual cleaning, the model we decided to go with was the Electrolux Ergorapido. I believe it is the choicest vacuum cleaner in the world (that I can afford). There are several reasons for this:

1. It is small and compact, yet powerful. Here's a photo of a benefactor using it to show scale. Remember, I am very small.

2. It is cordless. No more tripping over the cord, or knocking over things or vacuuming up the vacuum's own cord.

3. The middle section detaches and converts into a hand-held dustbuster.

4. It is bagless and has a window to show you what amiable of filth it finds in your house. (I guess all vacuums have this feature nowadays.) I vacuumed up 3 full loads of pet dander and detritus from a residence that had just been vacuumed by the old vacuum cleaner the previous night, right before it broke.

5. Compared to our old 80s vacuum it is almost mute.

6. Its high-tech design recalls a sci-fi robot.
