Friday, November 8th, 2024 06:03 pmNice to get a gas bill for .17. Yes, seventeen cents, because the hot water heater now bills separately and I overpaid last time because winter is coming. Though not that fast because we seem to get a resurgance of summer weather once a week or so.
This was all cancelled out when I went to vacuum today and couldn't get the canister back on. Pulled and pushed the little button and it wouldn't click in and it was never this hard before ohh why isn't there some strong-armed person around to click my canister in place?? Eventually realized that canister looked a mite... short? Oh, the bottom part is missing. Must have come off when I rinsed it out the other day, it'll be in the drying rack. It was not in the drying rack. I looked carefully about the kitchen in case of Johnson Spot Blindness and no, no grey plastic circle to be seen. Could it have come off when I actually emptied the canister? It's not supposed to but, like, there's the lower catch and there the bottom isn't. In which case I'm SOL because the garbage went out yesterday, presumably with the canister bottom inside. So now I've ordered a new Dirt Devil for what gas ought to have cost me this month.
Spent the week reading Unseen Academicals. Still think it's a good book and Pratchett is always a consolation.
