Good evening!
Guess what! I'm going to take my Electrolux back. Last night, I realized that I had an extended warranty on it, and the man at Sears had told me that included a yearly "check-up" if I wanted it -- I forget exactly what he called it, but that is basically what he meant. So I thought, my goodness, surely if I carried it in to them, they could make sure no dog dander was still floating around in there to blow all over my house!
So, long story short, I checked w/ds one more time: "Tell me the truth, will you be okay with the Kirby?"
DS says yes, that if anything he will be happier with the Kirby. He said he was sorta tired of dragging that canister around behind him, and maybe we would both be happier if we switched.
Whew. I am glad to have that settled. (I bet y'all are, too!
) I'll change the bag of course, and the filter, and it will probably be fine. But if I have any doubts, I'll carry it in to the warranty people. DS is on the road tonight, but said we'd swap out next week.
I've had a pretty good day, except for increasing rumors re: administrative changes brewing. But I'm really beginning to take an attitude that most administrators, (and for that matter, parents and students), have been reasonably satisfied with my performance for the past 28+ years... and I am just going to do what I do and hope for the best. I don't think any children are going to be harmed too much by my methods in the next 1.5 years... and after that, if they think they can find someone better, well, they can have at it. I will come home and read
Hop on Pop to my grandchild.
I went out to dparents' house this afternoon, but really didn't do much for them. Dmom was managing pretty well... but...
tomorrow, ddad is having a knot removed from one of his fingers, and expects to be at the hospital for 4 hours. And they will put him to sleep, so dmom has to go with him in order to drive him home. * sigh * I really don't know how she'll manage that, b/c she still can't sit for any length of time... but she said she would go lie down in the SUV while she waited, if her back started bothering her too much.
I have some school stuff to do and I am REALLY going to make the effort to exercise tonight. The last three nights, the spirit has been willing but the flesh has been weak.
