Had to make a corporate decision: update the Big DumpTruck or vacuum. Old Jody would have sat down happily to update the BDT. New Jody thought to herself “Hmmm. I don’t remember the last time I vacuumed under the bed, maybe that would be a healthy thing to do.”

I also counted that as a little bit of exercise, because the vacuum I was attempting to use required more work than I wanted to put into it. I really want to get a new upright, something VERY light but VERY powerful. And it shouldn’t cost much. I’m sure there are just so many uprights out there that fit the bill. My Dirt Devil needs some sort of repair right now but I don’t like it AT ALL so I’m not going to get it fixed. It’s too loud. And too heavy. So there.
