Footprints on the Moon

After a long day, I was just glad to be able to head home for the night. Imagine my delight when I opened my front door and saw not one, but two packages on the floor just inside the door. And most importantly, one of those packages contained my ROOMBA! The oh so amazing Jules had graciously offered to ship it to me from Vegas, and it finally arrived, ready to be played with!
Of course, like many other things, it languished in the box for some time while I did other things. It is, after all, a vacuum and that means cleaning. I was watching a lousy movie though, and decided to get it out of the box and start playing. There is now one small clean patch of carpet in my living room! LOL Just what it happened to clean up before I sent it searching for the automatic charging dock. My brilliant plan was to dock it, and then start actually cleaning (or at least piling all the things currently on the floor on top of the furniture) so that I could run the Roomba. But then my mom called, and she was over at my brother’s with Killian. Always the one to take advantage of the chance to play with my nephew, I went over there instead. Ah, the best laid plans.
So tonight I plan to clean the living room (again, or pile things on top of the furniture) so I can run the Roomba through a cleaning cycle. I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited to clean my living room before. So hopefully I’ll do that between baking cookies for tomorrow. First plan of action after I get home from work though– a nap!
