Have been seeing Mr. Traffic. He's much better. He's taking care of his telephone messages. A person is coming in to help him twice a week for 45 minutes. Yes, that's right , 45 MINUTES! She can do a light load of lawdry, or the dishes, or help him bath or even cook a little for him. But not vacuum or mop or clean the toilets! He does appreciate her taking out the trash. Guess who gets to pick up the slack. I'm going to see if I can contact the visiting nurse association. But, for all I know, that's who the girl works for.
Mr. Traffic can now follow the plot of a movie he hasn't seen before, which he couldn't do when he was really sick. His legs are of normal dimensions now. Only the reddish skin and the peeling dead white skins on then says that;s there is something wrong with them. He says the reddish brown color is apparently scar tissue.
However his eyesight has not returned to it's former level. He can't see to do anything really. Large print magazines with the magnifier, is all he can do. It's a good thing he has a 52 inch screen TV! He can make that out pretty good. I was suppose to take him to Lenscrafters, but I was too late yesterday, and tonight I want for myself. Eventually I have to go to Walmart and buy cat supplies tonight, but not right now.
I have been running back and forth to Lowes to get a new belt for the cooler. Have finally got the right one, and got it on by myself. I bent the pole for the float down so the water isn't running on the ground like last year. I have been unable to get the door on it off to replace the arm. I also found replacement pads, but won't get them. There are four of them on the swamp cooler. They are $70.00 EACH!!! The pads are four years old. I guess I will have to save my money up for next year.
I have set my vacation up for July 13 to 18. I will take it off from both jobs. This will kill me moneywise, but I really need a break. I have been working two jobs for four years now. I only have one day a week off. I need some downtime.
