Swamp cooler has been terrible lately, not cooling much at all. Hubby and brother looked at it today and installed a new float valve thing. They found where it was leaking and supposedly fixed the leak. We are pretty sure the unit has never been serviced. We replaced the pads a month or two ago? And the old ones were literally disintegrating as we pulled them out. The pads are probably not getting soaked correctly, which would cause them to not cool correctly. Dunno what hubby plans to do to fix that.
The mini split heat pump has now been ordered, directly from the manufacturer's website. Hopefully this order doesn't get screwed up.
My feet swelled up again today from the heat, and I took my ring off because I was worried my hands would swell more too. My boots are a size larger than I really need, but the foot part felt tight due to the swelling. I guess it's a good thing they are normally too big.

I have a similar set for my stove in my house. It was wood burning, now switched out to propane one...just not cutting wood!! BUT I used a fireproof product on walls and floor lift area that looks like stone. Light weight, easy to cut and comes in various color schemes, stone or brick look. You can't tell it isn't stone to look. I had the real thing in another house....this looks as good and was a whole lot easier!! It's in pieces, not strips and you manipulate the fit like real thing.

Swollen feet…….. lay on the floor and put your feet on the sofa. It will help with the swelling.

Lol, I was more worried they would damage the hearthstones and then we'd have to figure out how to fix them. The guys did a great job and I'm proud of my hubby for how nice it looks.

Went to appointment today, doctor seems happy with the baby's growth and my weight gain during entire pregnancy. Got the TDAP shot, which should protect against whooping cough. Need to confirm hubby has had that shot within last 10 years too. Doctor recommended getting the Covid shot but I am still not wanting it while pregnant, if at all.
Hospital has come up with new guidelines, effective today, so only ONE person can go with me to delivery. Rules might change again between now and 7 weeks. Oh, and the person has to have either a vaccine card, or a negative covid test from within 72 hours. I don't need either as I will be tested upon admittance, regardless of Covid shot status. Grr. Makes me think I really should have researched and pursued a home birth. Probably too late to change now. Doctor said right now they are admitting the attending person even without the card or negative test, but in those cases they are required to wear an N95 mask THE WHOLE TIME. Umm, SIL was in the hospital a few days, I doubt my hubby will be able to keep the mask on that long.

Glad baby's growth and all is good... sad about the covid stuff and your DH.... don't have any answers for you. Can't he get the covid test like you, on admittance?

No, they won't give him a test because he's not a patient. He has different insurance than I do. Open enrollment is September though, so at least going to try to get him on my insurance then. He could go to a clinic thing that is supposed to give quick results. Need to research that more, and see how fast they get results. Might be able to swing by and get him tested on the way to the hospital?? Then he'd only have to wear the mask till his result came in.
