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!

  Let's see if I did this right! Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures. Only one way to find out .... This is where it all started. On a rainy day in October, 2021. The first view of the rest of our lives. Here he is, the love of my life pondering this property he had proclaimed to be over our budget.  Here is the front view. The drizzling rain makes the house look like it needs a good power wash. Not to worry, we have one. While I am not a big fan of the screen door entry, this can be changed. This is the view that convinced HeWho proclaimed this property to be over the budget I had set to make an offer that very day. You can't see it from this picture, but a trout stream with rushing water hides down below. I will eventually get a good shot when I finally start to make some steps down to the water. We are old and do not want to fall and suffer any broken bones! The area behind the stream is never to be developed. This existing tiny shed will become my sewing room. I ...

  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...

Final Chapter!

  So, you may recall that the delivery did not happen on Tuesday, but was supposedly changed to Thursday. I was skeptical. I was right to be skeptical. HeWho patiently waits on hold, was told that the stove had yet to arrive from Atlanta. They were unaware that he had been notified by text that the stove had arrived in Murphy the day before ad was ready for pick up. When he confronted the store manager with this bit of information, the excuses began once again. The delivery truck was already out for the day and nothing could be added. The stove did not arrive before 6am and therefore could not be added to the day's deliveries. Judge Judy is apt to tell a witness that if you tell the truth, you don't have a need to remember what you said earlier. Finally, HeWho has had enough! He told the liar on the other end of the phone to cancel the order and refund our credit card. I was listening and can tell you I have never heard such relief in a man's voice as the liar's had. He...
