Adopted Koala for the Afternoon

According to a nutritional website 238 calories are burned per hour of vacuuming. How about vacuuming with a Koala? I just couldn't find the stats.

You see this Koala I adopted, not by choice, clung to me while vacuuming the whole house. Not the just the rug under our dining table, nor just the hallway downstairs BUT the WHOLE carpeted house. That consists of our basement(family room/hallway/rug is spare room), stairs up to main level, rug under the dining table, stairs up to the finshed attic, and Tom and my bedroom(the finished attic). I did this all with a pusher & a handheld vacuum and of course, a dear Koala.

Ya see, I thought Koala's slept most of the daytime hours and lurked around just after sunset--no, not mine.

And, I thought Koala's live in Eastern and South Eastern Australia--no, this one is way out of territory.

Being that I do not produce eucalyptus leaves on my body, nor have I ever--especially on my left hip and left arm, this koala clung to me so tight as if I were covered it it's favorite meal.

This Koala I adopted for the afternoon is my little Bear. My Coulter Bear. Afraid of the hum of the vacuuming that needed to be done because company is coming. Today! Feeling a little stronger now, I look back over the last hour of vacuuming and can say I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. My little Koala fit just right!
