Misc.

An actual (brief) conversation in our home this evening:
Me: Don't faint, but I'm going to get out the vacuum tonight and do some vacuuming.
(Long pause)
Husband: ...Are you feeling well?

I think my threshold for messy floors must be rather high. It seems there's always an excuse for me to avoid vacuuming.

On another note, our one duck is still alive. She is not eating or drinking much, but she is still alive.
