This has been "one more week". My sister's help didn't show up Monday. So, we had to start looking for someone new.

Finally settled on a company Wednesday and they sent a nice little lady Thursday. She is not trained and gets on our nerves, so we will start anew Monday.

And my new dog, Bengy is driving everyone nuts - he refuses to be house broken and irritates our little dog Belle. So, I am giving him away after spending money to have him nuttered this week. I really want him, but am just too old to train him. And his big feet bring all sorts of dirt and our house is never clean.

Have had a back ache all week. Guess I pulled a muscle trying to help my sister up last Sunday. Have spent a lot of time on a heating pad.

Now for the good news --- Got my check from IRS for a lot of money due from 2008. Then Yesterday got a letter from our taxing department that they had lowered my property taxes. I had asked last year for a reduction, but NONONO. Then this year they did it without me asking.

So, if the lady coming today takes Bengy, this week will end pretty well. Now, I am going shopping and spend some of that money I got back. Ha!!!
