whoo hooo

I finally gave up waiting for Cinderella to show up here for cleaning duty! (Goddess knows she is needed here) I've always wanted a robot to call my own which would clean the floors for me... so went to irobot.com and ordered a Roomba vacuuming robot. If it lives up to the advertising, I'll be a most happy woman... and the floors will at last be cleaned regularly. This little miracle even has a scheduling feature which allows me to program it to automatically do the cleaning at a scheduled time.... whoopeeee and bravo. I keep thinking about the SNL bit... an "ad" extolling the virtues of the "woomba" which causes me fits of giggles!!

on the fiber front, not much is happening. My studio is being flooded from above and below. The roof is leaking big time, with steady rain for 24 out of the last 25 days. And yesterday, the drain started backing up when the clothes washer emptied. A bit of a depressing state of affairs. Plus, I had to rip out about 14 inches of the neverending stole due to a huge mistake for a distance of about 6 inches... which even i and my casual approach to life could not ignore. tried to make myself believe that it wouldn't be noticeable, but that didn't work! spent some time yesterday looking at websites in Crete... sigh.... after hearing that there had been a 6.9 earthquake there on sunday. seems there was minimal damage to buildings in Hania, but Elena said no problems in Vamos.
