• I beaned my son in the face with a plastic baseball first thing this morning.
• Despite that, he says he's having fun today.
• He's under the impression that the school is closed.
• I finally got to talk to Scarlett's vet this morning.
• On one hand, I'm not paying for surgery.
• On the other, there is no end in sight for this injury.
• It is a severe sprain/strain, with a torn something or other ligament
• She is to be on cage rest, leash walked, house confined, and crate confined for the next 30 days - and then we'll check in again.
• He said it could be another 30 to 60 days before it heals, but he does expect to see improvement in 30 days.
• Clinton tried to fix the garage refrigerator - whose door wasn't closing completely, by adding a hasp.
• In drilling the first hole, he let all the freon out.
• Thankfully, we were able to get a used one for $100.
• The dump wants us to pay $45 to get a technician to verify its emptiness and then $42 to dump the old one.
• Thank goodness, we can just deliver it to my parents house, whos garbage people ll just pick it up.
• He then attempted to clean the pool, by backwashing it.
• And we ended up with a crack in the filter.
• $1500 later, our pool will probably work again tomorrow.
• He's no longer allowed to "fix" anything until I get a job.
• There is not a snow cone place within 10 miles of our house.
• And that one is closed.
• In 100° weather.
• I did put my claim in for unemployment.
• So I expect to get my first check in 5 to 6 weeks.
• I'd say this unemployment thing is going just great.
