That is what I get for vacuuming!

Before getting ready for the day, I decided to vacuum clean my bedroom, because I was getting SO upset about the dirty floor. Justin was too busy and/or not able to get here to do it for me, and since it bugs me this greatly, I did it myself! Oh, my aching back! It has since recovered, being more weary than painful, but was I ever sweating. The A/C was on and the fan running as fast as it could, but I was wringing wet when finished. The humidity is extremely high these days while the air temps are in the 80’s. Right now, it is 89 above zero, according to the Weather Channel. No wonder I broke a sweat…

As part of the cleaning, I used the floor brush and got as close to the edges and under things as I could. I did a really good job while I was at it. Later, when I sat down here to work on the computer, it appeared as though my monitor was dimly lit which made me fearful that the sun might have affected it. After about an hour, a notice popped up to inform me the battery life was at 7% and that I had better plug my computer in before it shut down. I tried all the plugs, there must be six different things plugged into and around my laptop on the desk, but nothing helped. It was then I realized it was the power strip, and it was shut off. Mystery solved, with a simple flip of a switch. Just like my broken TV that was not really broken. Anyone need an old TV?
