Today I am having my air vents cleaned. They likely have never been cleaned before and so I expect some improvement with my breathing. And some changes to my bank account as well, in the negative.
Whilst the serviceman is doing that, I thought it provided me with a good opportunity to post and catch up on all that has transpired over the past week or so, since last I wrote.
Peggy has come and gone, and I enjoyed her visit for the most part. I like having her here, but I did miss having my house to myself. And my time. But she is always welcome, and we had some crafting expeditions, and she and daughter2 made baklava one night which was interesting and fun. My friend jeffj loved her, said she reminded him of another one of his friends called Brenda.
My other girlfriend, Sbeen I shall call her, and Peggy do not particuarly like one another and so it is also a juggle because of that. D has been otherwise involved lately and so having a guest did not impact plans with him.
I have some concerns about the health of my crawlspace. I really haven't got the funds required to do much, and I hate to use loan money when my future is so unclear. But I have to take care of my investment (house) as well as seeing to my own health which has certainly suffered lately. After the vents get cleaned, I will need to have the mold removed and some vents replaced. But I think I will be able to breathe better for the interim. I just pray I find new employment before I am out of a job.
Well, mold it is, and the guy can't clean my return because it is insulated on the inside. He is figuring up replacement costs, etc, I need to get this fixed, as it is unhealthy and detrimental to my home. I also have a possum or something under there. Time for Cook's to come do their thing. That is why the kitties have been so strange near the vent in the bathroom. Well, at least I know that if I improve the air, it will improve my health. So that is some good news.
I feel weepy now, I think because I really haven't got the wherewithall to afford these major repairs. I think I am going to go cry for a bit. I will return later with the news of how much money this will cost. UPDATE: It will cost about 4000 to fix. I also need some mold removal done, so I need to get an estimate on that too. sigh*
The Moldy Moldy Man
I'm a moldy moldy man
I'm moldy thru and thru
I'm a moldy moldy man
You would not think it true
I'm moldy til my eyeballs
I'm moldy til my toe
I will not dance I shyballs
I'm such a humble Joe.
