Ramblings

I accidentally started watching Last Comic Standing last week. This week I found myself voting. That's not as bad as when I accidentally started watching baby borrowers. And watching the ENTIRE series.

Today I took the bus to wal-mart for vacuum bags. Yes, you heard me correctly. Yesterday I checked at walgreens, market basket, and cvs but no vacuum bags. Last week I brought a couch down from the third floor. I had to take half of it apart and it took me 2 hours. Other than being an extremely physical ordeal, I think it went well. I made it out with only a small scratch on my finger. However, it left quite a lot of debris on the stairs. When I went to use the vacuum attachment all this crap started coming out of it. So I checked the bag....which had never been changed. The vacuum is two years old. My bad.

So I went to wal-mart and was overjoyed when they had the correct bags. I also got a can of spaggetios, a can of tomato soup, a can of cat food (for the cat, not me), and a composition notebook because a) I heart composition notebooks and b) it was only 50 cents. Score.

I came home and vacuumed (after trying to figure out how the bag went in) and shampooed the rug. I'm still not convinced I'm using the machine correctly, but at least the rug is cleaner than it was. After it dries I can move all the furniture back. I'm not a fan of having a couch in the kitchen, although the cat likes sleeping on the TV stand in the kitchen.

I think my allergies have finally started to bother me. The large amount of prednisone kept my symptoms at bay all summer, but now I'm down to 5 mg. I've been getting bad sinus-like headaches and I couldn't find the advil, so I popped one of my final oxy pills. My headache has gone away and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm also hoping I can get some sleep tonight. I was given pills for sleeping but they haven't been working well. I'll fianlly fall asleep early in the morning nad not wake up until noon. And I'll be groggy for quite sometime. I've gotten the nickname "Droopy." I'll give it another week and then call the doctor.
