non-toxic

If something in non-toxic, shouldn't that mean you can eat it without having to then go see a doctor? My floor cleaner is biodegradable and non-toxic. Yet it tells you to flush with water if you get it in your eyes and to drink a glass of water and call a physician if you accidentally drink it. very strange.....and it smells like almonds, which makes me want to taste it even more. further research is needed before guzzling this floor cleaner.

Anyway-- I could not sleep last night due to a scratchy throat. I decided at 1 am to have some scalding hot matzoh ball soup. It made my throat feel slightly better---but I still could not sleep. I can downstairs and slept on my sofa--i have not slept on the downstairs sofa in about a year---ever since oskar started his drooling-in-his-sleep problem. There is normally a bit of a puddle on that sofa. However, that sofa is in the best location if one is over-heated (by scalding matzoh ball soup). It is 1) downstairs 2) directly under and air vent 3) directly under the only downstairs air vent that I keep open during the summer months. I close my downstairs vents in the summer (and upstairs in the winter) to concentrate the cooling (or heating) where it is needed. This particular vent screams like a banshee when shut, so it gets to stay open. Pure bliss on a hot day. Oskar was a bit miffed at losing pure bliss, but I have the opposable thumbs and therefore, I get to do what I want.

Anyway, this led to me waking up at 6:30 and having no clue it was so early (no time pieces in that room) Oskar was acting like I had slept in till noon, so I got up and went up to change. I realized it was stil lvery early, but the dog was already doing his wok song and dance (no, really it is a song and dance--he sounds like a walrus). So I have been up since 6:30 am....I have gotten a fair amount done, but now I am out of steam.

I still need to do the only three things on my to-do list. Funny how I can be productive all day and still not get the things done I meant to get done. Seriously, I have not been goofing off. I have been hard at work. Just not on 1) vacuuming 2) mowing the grass or 3) finishing the cleaning of the garage at my 'rents' house. I need to vacuum. I have been breaking out in hives recently and I am sure it is b/c the concentration of dust has reached dangerous levels. Yes, I am highly allergic ot dust---which is to say I am allergic to the indoors. I should get hardwood floors everywhere. Even in the back years. I hate vacuuming and mowing. Sweeping and mopping much more enjoyable.

Also, I am in need of as many bricks as anyone can spare. If you have extra bricks lying around, lemme know. I am killing grass with bricks so I do not have to weed as much. Damn! That was on the list too--4 things I have not done. Please add 4) weed.
