a lazy afternoon

 Traditionally Sunday afternoons are a time for relaxing and I like to honor traditions.  So this afternoon, after a really good couch church service, I stretched out on my bed with the newspaper, some computer games and a good book while Rhoda, my Roomba, happily vacuumed my bedroom. At least she seemed happy.  She buzzed right along, back and forth and round and round, doing a thorough job of cleaning under the dressers and under the bed and everywhere else.  After an hour and fifteen minutes she told me her battery was low so I put her back in her charging station.  True confession.  When I emptied her little bin I was appalled at how much yuck she had accumulated.  I know I'm not the world's greatest housekeeper but I didn't think I was that bad.  I assume the dust came from all those under bed and under dresser spaces where my regular vacuum cleaner doesn't quite reach.  That's my story and I'm sticking too it.  It will be interesting to see if there is less the next time around.  I love my Christmas toy!  Now if I could just teach it to dust shelves.
