I got paid $85.00 for work at Alma's this week. I picked up my rebuilt Eureka vacuum at a cost of $53.00.

I finished washing the kitchen ceiling and walls, and finished touching up the rest of the kitchen paint. I took down the range hood light and fan, tore it apart and cleaned it. I tested the motor, but the motor wasn't working.

My tenant at Mom's house paid me a reduced winter rent, because Cilco's bills are outrageous, and I agreed to reduce the rent by $25.00 a month. Sonny isn't working. They were threatening to move if I didn't reduce the rent, and I don't need that right now. I accepted the $250.00 gladly, rather than have both bedrooms at my house vacant and Mom's house vacant too.

My hands are getting better. If I don't have to have the surgery, I don't know how I'll pay for the doctor bills, tests and X-rays, but I can't worry about that now. The bill will only be paid if I have surgery before December, and I may not need the surgery if it keeps getting better.
