swollen but ok



Today Chance woke up his cheery little self as usual but his left eye was almost swollen shut. The bump on his head had completely gone down though leaving nothing but a little bruise. I gave him some Tylenol to help with the swelling and put some neosporen on his scratch and waited to see if the swelling would go down. He talked and played like normal and did not even seem to notice that his eye was swollen. Throughout the day his eye got much better and by the afternoon it was barely swollen at all. Also, Dan watched Chance for a couple hours around his nap time and I went down to city hall to get a business license and register my business name. It took nearly four hours of walking from office to office and building to building trying to find exactly where I was suposed to be but I finally got a license to conduct business in my home. I will have to go back to register my business name officially since every single person in that office was at a retreat and the temp secretary had no idea how to help me but at least I know which office and building to go to when I do go back. By the way I am starting a travel agency for those of you who do not already know. I will have a website soon and will be able to facilitate all your travel needs. When I get the website up and running I will tell you more about itsince I will then be more ready to actually work with you to book travel. Also, I was reminded that I never told you all what happened with the gas leak and heater situation from a few days ago. A man came from the gas company in just a few minutes after we called them and fixed the gas leak. The leak was under the house but actually from the pipes for Dan's side of the house. The gas man fixed the leak in just a few minutes and that was that with the gas. Fixing the gas did not fix our heater though and we pushed through the night with one little electric space heater and a lot of blankets. It was about 39 degrees outside that night and it was about that inside. The next morning we called a repair man who showed up in a couple hours from the time we called. The heating and cooling units each have their own special fuses and one of the heating ones was blown. He changed the fuse and gave us an extra for next time then his job was done. We had heat again! It was a cold night but at least now we know what to do next time.
