Bought Bissell vacuum - $47 wonder - at Walmart Sunday. Put it together yesterday. It was laughably simple to put together - I like that. Vacuumed big livingroom today. Dust cup holds 2 quarts. It was completely full. I'll vacuum the rest of the house, maybe a room or two a day, this week. Vacuum seems really powerful - almost pushes itself - scary. Was a Consumers Digest Best Buy. Good price and plenty of positive reviews on Walmart.com.

Been going to bed around midnight but then can't go to sleep until 1:30 or 2am and then don't wake up until 9-10am. I suspect it's the Vitamin D. Why are they telling us how wonderful it is but then they don't tell us that some of us will find it impossible to take the amounts that they are recommending because of side effects/sensitivity? I'm going to try taking it before I go to bed tonight and see if that helps. I'm taking 1,200 IU a day. Once had Vitamin D tested and it was something like 21 ng/ml. That's at the low end of normal according to some and deficient according to other sources. I plan to get it tested again.

Sewed my old cloth library book bag. Didn't even notice that the handles were hanging on by strings.

Went to Family History Center in White Rock to export files from my genealogy file that don't include living people. Got there at 1:30pm and before I knew it, it was 3pm, closing time. I'll have to go back on Thursday to check if the files turned out like I want them to. I put the flash drive in our Macintosh and the files I made appear as unreadable because they are all made for a PC. Going there reminded me of when I used to spend hours there researching. Four other equally obsessed people were there.

Walked down canyon in Los Alamos Canyon, parking at the ice skating rink. Past the Omega Reactor, there is now a sign forbidding entry if you don't have permission. The creek was running. Would be interesting to go to Los Alamos Reservoir to see if it's filling with water. This may be a better plan than going to DOE Land as the weather has gotten very warm and junipers and piñons don't provide needed shade.
