MWN mixed up pics edition #3

Before we get going, let me give you the lowdown on our weekend. Thursday, the refrigerator the complex JUST PUT IN went belly up.  They came out to unfreeze the coil, but that still left it only being cool because the freezer was still operational.  So, in anticipation of them actually doing something about it, I took Friday off work because Scrappy had a vet appt that involved him being no-water from 10PM Thursday. I didn't know how long Laurie would be tied up with him and certainly didn't want to miss the frig getting fixed.  Scrappy took no time at all, and not even a call about what was up with the frig.  Finally we find out, the frig:  This requires the company that supplied it coming out, and nobody seems to have a clue when THAT will be (hasn't happened yet).  The dog:  He is overpeeing his fluid intake, which in turn is not allowing his wastes to concentrate.  He needs another OVERNIGHT test to see if it is what they expect, and to find out if we can even afford the medicine (rare case) that he'll need.

That made for a halfway miserable Saturday, but the one bad news/good news tradeoff we had was that Monday is the day the complex picked to install new "barnwood brown" flooring in the dining room, kitchen, and bath/laundry.  Which means it's a good thing Scrappy got an overnight stay, but bad because I spent Sunday morning moving every nearly-impossible-to-move object in those areas to places "out of the clear path".  Anyway, the status as we speak is- floors are done, Scrappy is away from home, and we're still living out of a mid sized picnic cooler with no idea when that condition will be alleviated.  But, just to prove I can have a sense of humor with disaster all around, here we go with the latest craze- pictures off the front page of a news site- paired with another headline on that page that it most assuredly does not go with- or does it?
