I logged into my mom's old xfinity account this morning and miracle of miracles - they already processed the credit! Yay. They did it for the whole $120 charge.......so now her account is back to a $34 credit balance, LOL. One of these days I'll have to contact them again to see how to get her refunded, haha.
My new Shark vacuum I ordered arrived last night. Poor UPS guy - it was late and dark and he said he still had lots more still to deliver on the last area of his route. I didn't unbox it last night. It was too late and I didn't feel like messing with it, so I will do that this morning and give it a try. Keeping my fingers crossed it works like they say and doesn't wrap hair around the roller brush.
DH got started cutting up boards and beams (still leftover from the trees cut down we had cut into lumber) to start making the wood fence gate for our front entrance. It gave him something to do for a few hours yesterday afternoon. Weather has warmed up and most all the snow is melted now. It will be almost 50 degrees today.
I'm taking the day before Thanksgiving off and will go pick up my mom that afternoon sometime. Yesterday I decided to add the following Monday to my long weekend. I figured I'll need a day to unwind after having mom here for 5 days, LOL.
My mobile vet sent an email to all his customers that he's only seeing pets for end of life care at this time, due to the rise in Covid cases. Apparently one of his clients he had been around got it, though he never did. You'd think he could adjust his practices a bit and still see pets. Typically he comes inside the homes to take care of the pets, but he has this really nice mobile van that is basically a vet exam room. Why not do like my dd's vets office does. Just bring your pet to the door and hand them off, wear masks while doing so. He can call them to come back out to the driveway and get them when he's done. Just seems a bit extreme to basically shut down your income when he could pretty easily keep the 6 ft distance and wear masks as they are handing over the pet for care.
Ok, got the vacuum assembled and gave it a go in my office. Well, would ya look at that! Vacuumed a whole room and don't need to stop and cut out all the hair wrapped around the brush!
Unfortunately for your vet, I am sure he realizes that not everyone is going to adhere to wearing a mask at all times when they are out, and limit their interactions with folks - meaning he cannot keep himself or the pets safe.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you decided on a day off to recover from your mom's visit - it will be fun but tiring!
well, since he's a mobile vet I would think he could tell his customers, yes, I will come to your place, but here's the "rules". You must wear a mask to bring your pet to my mobile van door. I'm sure I can keep my mom busy helping me decorate for Christmas.
DeleteI also use a mobile vet. She sees patients outside either in front or backyard. My dog had an ear infection last week. I had her come into my backyard and I just stood at my patio door and spoke with her from behind the screen.
ReplyDeleteYou will love the vacuum. I have had mine for about a year and have not had to clean the roller. I was a die hard dyson fan and was forever having to clean the roller. I would not go back to dyson unless they had the same technology as the shark vacuum.
That seems a reasonable/safe way for your vet to work. With my Dyson roller (and this dog!)I have to clean the roller literally every room. And then eventually, even though I clean it and try to get the hair out, it sucks into the middle section of the roller (the roller is 2 pieces on the one I have) and eventually ruins the brush motor.
