Ick. Eww. Ugh.

I got a new vaccuum a while back. It's one of those bagless uprights ("That's where races are won and lost--in the pits.") And it has a HEPA filter. I figured this morning that it was high time I cleaned it out.

ICK!!!

Seriously, you could probably clone both Matt and I, as well as the dogs from the gunk that came out of there. Between the container and the filter, I'm pretty sure I have everything I need to build a new dog, or at least a Pomeranian.

Matt has been getting all these sinus infections over the last five years or so, and is now getting allergy panels done to see if maybe there's something he could be taking shots for and avoiding the infections all together. In fact, he's going in on Monday to get poked something like 76 times with various different allergens to see what all he reacts to.

All that got me to thinking, as I was sitting there working with the filter, that maybe this super-duper vaccuum could help with all that. I looked at the attachments, the attachments looked at me, and we agreed that it was time. Time for me to vaccuum all the baseboards in the house. Time for me to get behind the entertainment center and clean. Time for me to get under the furniture, behind the bed, inside the closets. Do you know how much dust gets on electrical cords? Holy cow...

Anyway, I'm filthy now, but I think the house is clean.
