Vacuum Breakdown

Well, the self-propelled part of our self propelled vacuum cleaner went kurplop today. Vacuuming without it is like driving a car when the power steering goes out, or mowing when the self propelled part of the mower goes out. Anyway, as a result of some manufacturer's short comings, I think I have developed a bad case of endovacuumitis, kind of like tennis elbow without tennis being a factor. Endovacuumitis is also occasionally diagnosed when you are not sure what you have, but you do know it sucks.
