Vacuum

I was away for three days, and something wonderful has happened – our home got a vacuum! We were planning on borrowing or renting one but now we have our very own. Much thanks to whoever got it, and much thanks to Nathan for putting time and effort into grazing the layers of shiizen off of our floor, for which he is forgiven for leaving that greasy green-tan ear plug on my pillow, which was pretty gross.

Our home is looking better and better as time goes by. We have two simple lamps now, a couple wooden shelves, a rug and a couple of paintings. Since the removal of that fuzz, which from above looked like a bacterial colony with a significant housing development program going on, and from ground level looked like another layer of our atmosphere, with floating clouds of disease threatening the life of all those under 3 inches tall, it is even more a place that feels good to be in.


"Whenever there is lost the consciousness that every man is an object of concern for us just because he is a man, civilization and morals are shaken, and the advance to fully developed inhumanity is only a question of time." - Albert Schweitzer
