The florist made me take my second week, since it's obvious that I'm never going to get into the county this year and have my gallbladder out. I still have to work the second job, so I only have three days off all together. The other four, I work 3 to 4 hour shifts at the pizza place.
I suppose to be cleaning the house, notice how I'm not doing that?

Little Miss Jilly, got bit by something, probably a dog. Puncture marks on the top of her head and inside her ear. I have been putting hot washcloths inside her ear. I keep getting stuff that looks like reddish-brown cardboard out. Then I put neo-sporin on the wounds. It has a pain reliever in it. She seems to be doing a lot better today, so I let her back out today, since she keeps begging. I going to go to the health food store for pets, (yes we have one!), and ask if they have anything for pain and for her stiffness.

The swamp cooler is broken.I noticed that (like how could I not?), that the cooler was putting out very little air and it was very humid in the house and it smelled bad. I went outside and looked at the pads. They were covered in black mold! Now I realized that this meant that I had the wrong sized belt on it and it was too loose to work right,and that's why mold was growing. Also, the mineral deposits on the pads weren't helping. Also, it's awfully late in the summer to get a new belt.
It all became moot after I put beach in the water and tried to turn the cooler back on. SIZZLE, SIZZLE, POP! The switch is broken. It's not the dial kind. It's like a light switch with rocker switches. I can't even find it on line. I'm screwed. Besides, even if I did get the belt and switch replaced, the pads still would be sour and moldy. I can't replace them. They are too expensive.
I have looked at Lowe's to see if they have the mobile swamp coolers left, but no. Will tried at Home Depot today. Otherwise, I and the cats will just have to suffer.
