It was a dull day today. My friend is still recovering from surgery last Thursday. He and I exchanged emails this morning. This afternoon I called him. He sounded alright but a bit groggy. He said that he hasn't thrown up in a while, but slightly nauseous. That's better than before. Maybe he's better to talk to in the mornings than in the afternoons. Yesterday, we talked a couple of times in the morning and he sounded good. Yesterday afternoon, I called and he sounded a bit groggy.

I got one bit of good news this morning. This is what I posted last Saturday:

"I got upset this morning while cleaning. Earlier this week I purchased a couple of refill mop heads, which I had not done in years. When it came time to clean the floors, the bottom of the refills could not snap on the bottom of the handle. The bottom of the refills looked different than before. So now I'll have to buy a new handle. I was looking forward to cleaning the floors with the new mop heads. It didn't work out."

I called the mop company and explained what happened. They told me that they will send me a new mop handle - no charge! I couldn't believe it. I offered to pay but they said that they don't need it. I'm very happy about that.
