Hi, how you doing today?
Me? Not so good. We had a flood in here.
Most of it is cleaned up now but the rugs are still damp as hell. Sucking them clean with an industrial shop vac. We're all sore as hell so we're taking a small break.
There was a small problem with the jewelery raffle. It was auto charging shipping and I thought I took care of it last night but I guess I didn't but it is fixed now. I hope.
Those of you who have entered, have been refunded that shipping charge and I am so sorry it did that. Your names have been written on post its and put in the bucket. If you enter and it charges you that shipping, you will be refunded so please do not not enter because of that. I am watching that email account and catching them as I can in between carpet cleaning and refunding promptly. This is a great, beautiful set. I almost don't want to part with it.
Marks BIG George was here to help with the flood and he offered to buy it on the spot for his wife but I told him about the raffle and he understands. He's going to have me make something else for his wife instead.
I was quite pleased with myself if I do say so because George is an artist and has works in several galleries in Florida and he was very impressed with my work and looked at everything else I had made and still have here and he said my stuff is quality jewelery and he's going to talk to one of his gallery/store owner friends about getting me in for some more retail sales. (YES!!!!)
So enter for your chance to win it! This is totally legit, a winner will be drawn by one of my kids and we will have sis take pics with her digital to document or she has that little movie maker thing on her digital too so maybe we can film the winner being drawn and post that as proof of the winning draw.
Also, thank you Anna for the donation as well as your entry. That was a very nice surprise.
Ok, back to carpet cleaning.
Later days.

The toilets overflowed by the gallons. I literally was up to my ankles in my room, my bathroom, the hallway and the main bath, the pc room and the dining room. Not fun at all. But it is as done as we can get it at this point.
I have all the fans blowing on the rugs and the air on super freezing cold so the carpets don't mildew from the heat here in Florida.
I am absolutely wasted now Karen. I so over did it but if I didn't do it, we'd have mildew and black mold and then have to move which I simply can't afford to do at all nor can I physically pack up this whole house and put the stuff anywhere else.
I am stiff and sore from the base of my skull all the way down to my ass now.
Thankfully, I don't have anywhere to go now but the post office tomorrow but one of the boys can do that for me.

Yuck! What a crappy way to spend the day. :-(
Wish I could help.
If you have any Lysol spray, that will kill mold and mildew too, and leave behind a place where it won't want to grow. I know it won't bleach carpet because I've used it many times for similar problems. I like the "crisp linen" scent - but there are a few of them. Hope you have some time to rest now that the fans are going.

Thanks for the tip. It's doing ok now. It's drying slowly and I'm keeping it cold so it doesn't get mildewed too fast from heat.
