I suck

Or I am going to, anyways. The ancient Eureka canister vacuum finally gave up the ghost this afternoon. It turned onto its side, which triggered the automatic shutoff. All very well. But then it never came back on, ever. Even after I checked the dustbag, let it cool down, everything. And of course this was about halfway through my vacuuming job. I finished the work as best I could with broom and dustpan, then hauled the thing to the trash cans. I thereupon hit amazon.com and ordered a refurbished Dyson for $250. It'll be winging its way here as of Monday. I sort of informed a rather amazed Mr. Samoa of all this when he returned from walking pups. Hopefully, it and I will have many happy years together.
