After working at Alma's, I checked the mailbox and received another unemployment check for $88.50, but I don't know why it is $88.50, nor why I received anything at all, since the Illinois Department of Unemployment sent me a notice stating that I owe them $88.50. Maybe they got re-funded by the state or someone actually got tired of piling papers on top of papers and re-shuffling them.

I installed new dog door panels, since the other ones literally fell apart. If these fall apart, I'm going to call the company to find out if they are using a different type of plastic. The panels used to last two to three months. I still owe for these dog door panels. I may have to change the type of dog door I have; I can't afford $12.00 every month for new dog door panels.

I've turned my thermostat down to 62 degrees.
