Now for the BAD news: The lawnmower has a broken wheel adjuster part. It's kind of hard to mow the lawn with only three wheels. I went to three different tractor / small engine repair / equipment stores today and have essentially been told that the replacement part needed to properly keep the wheel on the lawn mower is a special order part that will take several weeks to arrive and cost me almost $30.00. Needless to say, I'm quite frustrated!
And finally, the outright UGLY: I am suffering from an infestation of fleas at my house. Said infestation was discovered last night. Actually, it discovered me. Evidently I taste good, because I am now covered in red ITCHY welts from the little devils biting me! I bathed and sprayed both dogs and went through their fur hunting for my tormentors - found a grand total of ONE flea. Tonight the cat gets a bath and flea spray - I'm sure he'll be all sorts of thrilled about that. (NOT) And tomorrow, the cat gets locked outside while the dogs and I go on a field trip for 5 hours so the house can stay closed up and let the bug foggers kill all of the little demons deader than dead. And then, after I borrow a lawn mower from the neighbor down the street and actually mow my lawn, my yard will be sprayed with more bug spray to kill all fleas and ticks and mosquitoes that even dare to think about coming anywhere near my property. Yup, I'm quite pissed off at bugs right now... therefore, THEY MUST DIE!!!
