In a sudden burst of energy, I decided to vacuum at 9 p.m. I was still strung out on Benadryl, cayenne pepper, Theraflu, and various other stuff designed to rid myself of the evil that is this cold.
My house is a little crowded these days. Which makes walking around difficult, never mind vacuuming! What came over me?!?
In a slo-mo-Rube-Goldberg-esque sequence, the vacuum got hung on a dining room chair, and flipped it over, knocking into a very heavy, and very unstable (it had a rough childhood), floor lamp, which then conked me right in the back of the head.
I saw stars.
Proving once more that housework is bad for you.
Thanks for all your kind comments. Sorry if I infected you. I can indeed recommend the cayenne-pepper gargle cure. It worked. Or else time and antibiotics worked. Take your pick!

NOT THE PINK LAMP?? Is it ok? Are you ok? Your poor head :(
Of course housework is bad for you, Captain Obvious LOL.
BTW we have a clothesline becuase we have a back yard :)
i'm laffing..but still..i'm glad it wasn't worse for you! ha.
like operating heavy machinery, house work should not be done whilst on drugs.
get better soon!
now that i think about my last comment, sorry about the "drug" reference. clearly with the cayenne pepper cure, you are not on any major cold medication. :-)
since i noticed your FRANCE jar in a prior blog entry, i thought i'd offer you the address of a little neighborhood hotel that was around the corner from where we lived when we were in paris:
Hotel Residence Villiers
68 av Villiers 75017 PARIS
011 33 1 42 27 18 77
hotel concierges speak english. it's a great location - walking distance to arc de triumphe and champs elysees, as well as close to 3 metros (wagram, ternes, parc monceau) and several bus lines (including bus 84)...not to mention close to the neighborhood groceries. it is not a fancy hotel and is a little noisy (like all of paris), but what you'll save in hotel fare, you can spend on other things - like food & wine!
my favorite restaurant in all of paris: Sud Ouest Monceau, 8 Rue Meissonnier, 75017 (closed mondays & sundays. must make reservations!telephone 01 47 63 15 07 )
i would also like to offer you this web site: www.ratp.fr to explore - it's the paris transportation system. :-)
je vous souhait une tres bonne journee chez vous!
Thanks for this post. You made my morning.
I thought that stuff just happened to me.

BACK AWAY FROM THE FEATHER DUSTER!! and get back in bed. Sleep off that cold.
