Water Plants

I was so excited to get my water plants on Thursday. Our Postman delivered 4 big boxes which I proceeded to rip into. The Water Hyacinths came & after only one day in water, they were blooming~!

After carefully unpacking them, I allowed them to sit in the kitchen sink all day. Then transplanted them to the pond. They look very pretty gently floating on the surface.

Took Isabelle into the Vet today at 11:30AM; she has some weird stuff on her ears. Doc said it was not parasites; was not ringworm; that just leaves psorasis and maybe a genetic condition. He gave us shampoo & recommended SWAT to spread on her ears to keep insects away from them. See if that will help. Also got her rabies shot & her annual shots. Poor dog came home & slept through the day!

Hubby had accidentally walked into some water at a construction site yesterday not knowing what it was. The water must have had concrete within it, as hours later he finally took off his boots because his feet were bothering him only to discover that he had alkali burns on his toes & ankles. He rushed home from working down at the shop & proceeded "to irrigate his feet with copious amounts of water" per what I ascertained was the treatment for burns via the internet. Soon afterwards, he slathered his feet in antibiotic ointment and went to bed. It seemed a little bit better this morning.

I had to order new work boots for him last night.

While on the computer, I received our update bill from Verizon. AS USUAL, they had completed f--ked things up again. One month of billing for 4 phones on the Family Select plan was $432.75; the contract had called for $119.00 for 1400 anytime minutes & unlimited texting. Of course, none of this was recorded correctly per their customer service rep Melanie - and hubby got to spend over 1 hour on the cell correcting it. Which, by the way, I do not believe we should have the minutes assessed against us. To call attention to THEIR mistake! Having worked for Verizon, I know how f - - ked up their computer system is; it is a wonder that anything gets done at all!

We got lattes this early morning -Friday, and then went biking down at Farragut Park. Took Isabelle along with us on the trail. 'Lil Bit stayed in the truck waiting for us. When we returned, I took both of the dogs down a short trail while hubby loaded his bike.

Tim showed up very late to work, then didn't have any construction tools with him. He will work at the shop today; come back tomorrow to install my french doors. As usual, all hubby's idiot deals work out just like that - with idiotic people that never show up! Oh well, I can tear some more of my hair out.

Today in the mail, got the Mosquito plant I ordered. Will make a great highlight down by the pond.
