That sucking sound
Moving into the new place in Harlem has really helped my obsessive side blossom, a kind of diplacus obsessivus flower.
Normally I'm too busy to fixate on the little details, but I'm basically free for the whole summer. I'm rewarded on multiple levels for this.
The boyfriend likes it, or at least he encourages me. I'm like, "Hey! These spacebags really work!"
He even pretends to be enthusiastic when I unseal the bags and proudly describe that the extra sucking power comes from removing the filter in the vacuum and then force him to watch me shrink down the sleeping bag again.
Because the Harlem apartment is a lot smaller, everything that I do to make it more efficient makes me happier.
I've been going to places like the Container Store and Home Depot almost every day. I buy things like more efficient dish drainers, better extension cords, and I keep looking at ways to redesign the wiring in the bathroom.
Don't even get me on my cunning ideas to mount my new planters in the windows. It would just make everyone jealous.

I'm betting the dog gets a little more nervous everytime you get another one of those spacebags out.

no really, does that spacebag thing work?

Yes, Bear is very nervous, as she knows she'll fit MUCH better in the apartment if compressed into one of these bags.
The bags work wonderfully, although they look quite disgusting. In the pictures, everything compresses evenly. In the real world, the bag looks like a bad case of acne.

Oh, sure, the spacebags work . . . at first. Slowly but surely they start to suck that air back in. You have to suck the air back out from time to time.
At least, that's been my experience.
