We may need to hold a funeral here shortly. Our air conditioner died in its sleep. Or more accurately, in our sleep. The house was a happy 74 degrees when we went to bed, and when we woke up, it was 84 and sticky. Not a fun sort of sticky either.
Just have to wait to hear back from the property manager, who is waiting to hear back from the property owner. I really don’t think I should have to be subject or exposed to that part of the process. Part of paying rent to a management company is the idea that if something breaks, you call them and it’s fixed without having to worry if the owner is away on vacation or whatever.
Hot hot hot hot again! We just finished building platform over the basement stairs so I can paint the ceiling and the walls in the stairwell when **FCD **goes to Johnstown tomorrow. It ain’t purdy, but it’s solid and I have no concerns about standing on it, so yay.
That’s all the useful stuff for today. Off to check the boat, then home to veg…
On the way to check the boat, we stopped at the little shop that’s selling my pottery - they just opened yesterday and they’ve sold several pieces already! I looked at the other pottery they were selling and I now know what my niche is - more artsy and whimsical rather than “nice dishware” - so face mugs and monsters and fun stuff. I am inspired!! But I can’t get back to my studio till the stairwell is painted, since the platform is blocking the stairs. I could go outside and enter the basement that way, but it’s too hot… <whine whine whine>
But I’m selling stuff. YAY!!! And I think I may gather up my so-so stuff and make a bargain box like $3 per piece or something - gonna email the owners and see what they think.
I have Death Chicken in the oven to take to MiLs. As soon as my husband gets out of the shower, I’ll hop in and clean up.
I really would just prefer to stay home. I’ve got so much stuff that needs doing in my yard and it’s not raining today. Yesterday it was raining, so I couldn’t really get out there and tend to it. Maybe the weather will cooperate on the 4th of July…
gigity iced tea and lemonage is called an “Arnold Palmer.” Apparently that was also his drink of choice.
gotti yikes! Hope y’al get a/c soonest or get to a cool place. This is no time to be without a/c.
MOOOOOOM yay on sellin’ stuff!
So, I have deheathenated, had brunch and sat through a Parish meetin’. I also had a little nappy poo when I got back to da cave cause I was tahrd and it’s way too hawt out. It’s even hawter than yestiddy. I am a happy bear here in the a/c.
I think I’ve seen at least half of the pet spiders running around the place today. As long as they keep eating the ¡SILVERFISH! they can scuttle about as much as they like. I found a ¡SILVERFISH! in the bathroom twice in two weeks. These are bugs that are not allowed to live in my home. The spiders will eat them, so they may stay.
Well an interesting day its been, had brunch with Mother and two sisters, I have failed to mention that one of the sisters is a having twins. You are all now apprised of the situation, I will be unky Jim X2 come November. Preggers sister is a feeling poorly but brunch was awesome.
PapaJohn made supper, and I ran to the grocery next door to get a lemon meringue pie for dessert. It’s great when dinner happens like this. Especially with my 50% PapaJohn’s promotion code, so we got a pizza and 10 wings for under $13. Good deal!
If **Toucanna **doesn’t start the MMP again tomorrow, I’d like to take it and use my idea before I forget it, because we all know where my memory is going today. If we don’t, we do now…
My landlord likes me. My cite is the text that the AC guy showed me saying “they’re good tenants plz call them soon”
A new capacitor and a touch of refrigerant later, it’s running again. No idea how long it will take to get the house cool again, but I’m just happy that A: it’s working, and B: our landlord likes us.
A small storm just rumbled through, and now it’s cooler OUTSIDE than in. I’d open the windows, but the last thing I need to add to the house is more humidity. (or rain!)
gotti i walked out a few minutes ago because I heard the wind blowin’ hard and thought, maybe a tstorm was comin’ in. Alas, just a hot breeze. I want a tstorm, though not like they had in the D.C. area.
Shouldn’t you brush your teeth before shaving them? Gets the knots out. <nods>
Today was bright and early to the storage shed to see how much crap we could drag out of there, so we can see how much crap we can put back in. Despite it being wee-early, I was still sweating sheets into my eyes so bad they are still all red and gross, lol. Only 12 percent humidity but that’s enough to turn 85 into a sauna for me, apparantly.
I don’t mind sweating…my clothes were soaked within a quarter hour…but glasses are bad enough without having to remove the sweat-slicked things to get sweat out of my eyes every minute or two, ugh! Next weekend, I’ll bite the bullet and wear a dorky 80’s tennis player bandana.
Is this the one you’ve been talking about for a while, because I have a seasonally appropriate one if your is not time sensitive?
Stoopit Verizon DSL. It’s like a yo-yo, it’s up, it’s down, back up, no wait, down again. So I couldn’t get on earlier to stake a claim to it.
