Air Conditioning

 We are still without benefit of central air. Repair man came on Monday. It is the motor. Unfortunately, he did not have one on his truck and it had to be ordered. Next week it will be installed.

It is not as bad as you may be imagining. The nights are cool, downright chilly. Good sleeping weather if your mate doesn't hog the quilt! Mr. BoJangles is the real culprit. He likes to burrow between the quilt and sheet. In doing so, he pulls the quilt off me and makes a mound in the middle of the bed around himself. For such a little guy, he manages to take up a lot of space.

We have a temporary window unit in the living room that manages to keep the temperature down during the 90 degree afternoons. That unit will be going to the She Shed after the central unit has been repaired. Not in one of my windows, but in the outer wall. $500 for a new motor seems like a lot, until you compare that with replacing the unit. Such is life!

    Thinking cool thoughts. Ain't that awful. I'll be happy when the motor comes, too.

    great idea to move the old unit to your shed, you'll be more comfortable when working there. could you put an extra quilt on the bed mostly on your side so it doesn't get hogged?

      I usually do have an extra quilt during the winter, but it is not winter and most everything has been put away in the She Shed. Limited space here. I doubt Bo will change his ways about moving in between sheet and quilt. I do get frustrated with the litte demon, then he will climb up my torso to my neck and rest his head in my neck and flick his tongue ut and kiss me. Who can stay mad at that? Sometimes I just stare at his tiny head and wonder how something so tiny can create such chaos!

    I wish out recent air conditioning repair had just been a motor. Nope. We decided to replace the cooling unit rather than go the $1500 repair as the old one was 12 years old and likely to crap out again soon anyway.

      I was afraid we might have to replace the unit, which is also the heat pump for winter, I suppose we dodged a bullet there. That particular phrase will soon become politically incorrect, as so much of life seems fraught with controversy lately. Watched one of the "reporters" from the daily show interview people attending a Trump rally. I know it is comic relief an supposed to be funny, but I found it disturbing that his followers are so ignorant. One loud mouthed woman opined that Nancy Pelosi orchastrated Jan 6, just to have something to blame on Trump! I suppose she may have been some of the better informed, as many of them swear that Jan 6 never happened. Scary.

      All is well, just busy getting gardens to grow! Watering is a big chore and I seem to tire easily and nap a lot!

  While awaiting the newest stove delivery I have been working in my She Shed, but the last several days have been overcast, damp and chilly. This has kept me inside. I tired quickly of Netflix and TV in general. Idle hands make me anxious, so I employed the help of HeWho sits and got down all the boxes of photos to sort. I have been saying I would get to them one day when I had nothing to do ..... Strolling down memory lane with each stack. I kept stopping to text pictures to my kids and laughing with them. Then I hit a stack that made me profoundly sad and happy all at the same time. It was pictures with my sister on a cruise with her friend that became mine, too. We had so much fun despite me being homesick. Here we are departing. The winds were high! This is my sister. My big sister, always ready to take care of me. My only sibling. This is Gloria, partner in crime to my sister's antics when I wasn't around. Three three of us indulged in a rum drink called "the Love Co

Moving To A new House Would Be Easier

  The big day has arrived! I herded the canines into my bedroom to await the new stove. Now, keep in mind that they could have simply sent a repair out to change out the one burner that did not work. Hold that thought ...... Instead of simply repairing an other wise fine stove, they insisted that they should REPLACE it. And, the replacement is TODAY. I am in my bedroom with my furry babies as I listen to a very frustrated HeWho trying to remove the door in order to get it through the only opening that will take it outside. Delivery men refuse to assist and even suggest coming back at a later date! My new stove is sitting just outside their truck on the ground, still in the box causing me to thing to myself "What the not heaven (thanks Val)". Do we now have to go and muscle that thing up the steps and onto the porch ourselves?? I went out to assist. Not much assistance, as I kept jumping back to protect the gouty toe. I returned to my confinement, realizing that I was annoying

The Half Tooth Lingering In My Mouth

  Yesterday was almost bearable with the tooth pain. I took aspirin, tylenol and ibuprophen, rotating them. Went to bed and finally turned the TV off at 11:30. The searing pain woke me at 4:30 am and I have yet to find relief. How much Orajel is too much to ingest? Should I be worried? It doesn't help much, but gives a brief respite. My appointment was today. I arrived with time to spare and had the X-rays done and then the dentist came in, asking about the left side of my mouth. The broken tooth is on the right side. The last root canal and crown I had done is infected!! He said it looked like it never completely healed and this was done over 2 years ago. Having established that, he took a peek at the broken tooth and said it would need to be handled by the oral surgeon. Okay, I already knew that. I used my finger to trace the area in acute pain. From the middle of the top teeth and up to the eye orbit and over to my ear and down to my neck and back up to the middle of my mouth on
