I'm having chicken dijon on egg noodles. With maybe a salad.

I just put a dust mite cover on my mattress. When do I start to feel better?
Not tonight, because you stirred up a big batch of dust mite, uh, dust, putting on the cover. But soon.

That sounds good. A little pale, perhaps (me & my weird issues) but tasty. eta: the chicken, not the dust mites.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, allergies are something deal-with-able. Hopeful you can get some relief.
I am having Dutch-Amish chicken with egg noodles. It was such a simple recipe I was able to get up and about and cook it and tumble back into bed. It is tasty. Total comfort food. And it made a huge freaking pan, so I can eat it for lots of meals with minimal effort.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, the room is also vacuumed.
Vacuum 2-3 times a week? Aside from my laziness, it'd probably all happen on the weekend, since I seem to be spending vanishingly little time at home during hours when a vacuum cleaner isn't intrusive.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
ita, there are sprays you can use on mattresses and other surfaces that kill the mites or some sucha nd then you vaccuum them out.

This is where the Roomba comes in handy. Not as powerful as a stand-up vacuum, but more than made up for by the fact that it doesn't hate vacuuming.
I have the allergy covers on the mattress and all the pillows, but I don't have Tempurpedic anything, so I don't know how naturally dust-resistant it is.

My parents are quite happy with the roomba, even as they have a cleaning lady that comes in once a week. (Honestly, it was purchased as more of a novelty than anything.) Given their very dusty location and two cats who like to roll in dirt and then flounce around inside, it does a decent job of just sort of keeping it all under control.
Plus, the amusement factor.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
vacuum 2 or 3 times a week? I think I should vacuum once a week. I"m lucky if it happens every other week.
But it turns out sweeping, dust mopping and swifer wetjeting is another story. I don't like using thing that are noisy and heavy

I also think my dad just likes disconcerting people by announcing gleefully "Look! It's nursing!" when it is recharging (its little light pulses.)
