Vacuum arrived. Richard tried it later and we were amazed at what it pulled out of the carpet.
I was sick late in the day. The heat was awful and my stomach kept rolling all day because of it. I’ve never handled heat well and have problems with appetite during the summer. This was awful. Still feel queasy. Supposed to be even hotter tomorrow. Doesn’t help that the boobs haven’t brought the new filter. It’s such an odd size that we can’t find them in stores. I took the current one out and whacked it against the wall outside and most of the crap came out of it. Perhaps it will work until they bring the new one.
Richard talked to his Sister tonight and they talked about him coming down to visit while his Father is there in October. His Father has alzheimers and he’s healthy but the memory is really getting bad. While I don’t relish the thought of being on my own with the wee one for five days… he needs to see his Dad before it’s too late. It would be too expensive for all of us to go.
Richard said he’d collect some things down there that we can’t get here (file, special hot sauces, etc) and have his Sis ship it back. I’ll take some new pics of the kid and print them on photo paper and R can give them to his Sis and his Dad.
Whew.. still queasy. Better cut this short. Ack.
