I'm melting!
Jul. 6th, 2008 03:11 pmAh, sticky summer heat! Strangely enough, I don't seem to be bothered by it as much as most people, including people who are originally from hot and humid places such as Singapore (G) or the Philippines (a coworker). All I feel like doing, though, is drinking ice tea and eating fruit.
My new vacuum cleaner is my friend, and I must remember to use it more often, lest I die from inhaling too much cat hair. Tabitha has been doing her level best to make sure every surface has some fur on it at all times. I was hoping she'd let herself be vacuumed and while she didn't run away when I turned the machine on right beside her, when I passed it over her belly, she decided, with great dignity, to saunter over to the window and sit there until I was done.
I'll convince her yet! And to aid me in my fight against sneezing, a friend, who's moving home soon, gave me her hepa filter. I don't know how big a difference it makes with the windows open, but I leave it on near my head while I sleep, and I've been sleeping fine.
In the meantime, I need a name for the vacuum cleaner. Ion-kun (because it's an ion-something) isn't too original, but I think I'll stick with that. I also need to name my other appliances, seeing as I paid for them. The washing machine, the fridge, the range and the micro-wave need identities! Perhaps I'll be terribly original and go with Kirei-chan for the washing machine, Tsumett-chan for the fridge and Sugoi-kun for the range (in honour of B1, since he paid for it).
Any suggestions for the micro-wave?
My futon, mirror and storage units arrived safe and sound yesterday, only now I need a futon cover. I have the perfect material for it, but only enough for one side. Damn. And now I'm far, far away from Nippori! Looks like I'll have to actually organise my fabric to see what I can scrounge up.
