Vacuum Cleaner Blues
The time has come to buy a new vacuum cleaner. I suspect the demise of my current vacuum cleaner could have something to do with the fact that my husband used it to vacuum the car and maybe sucked up something that he shouldn’t have, but then again, it could be that it’s 15 years old and it’s just time to get a new one. Either way, this morning when I was playing domestic goddess, the vacuum cleaner started smelling horribly and when I turned around and looked at it, I noticed what I thought was a little smoke coming from the back. I unplugged it right away and tossed it outside so that our entire home wouldn’t smell like smoke, but I had a half vacuumed floor. I ran over to moms and borrowed hers so that I could finish the job, and asked her what brand vacuum cleaner she thought would be the best to order. She told me about her personal preference, and when I got home I ordered a new one online. It should be here within a few days. In spite of my desperation, I still got a great price.
