Reading mclaincausey's journal

Journal,

This week has gone by fast. Well, that's not entirely accurate. It was very hot and my A/C was out from last Friday to about Wednesday. Work went by quickly each day (except Monday dragged for some reason), but then time slowed down as soon as I reached the sweltering heat of my house.

I tried to repair and diagnose the A/C and figured out the fan wasn't getting power but that the compressor, coil, and thermostat was fine. So I called an A/C repair service and scheduled an appointment, but they seemed expensive. So a coworker suggested a private individual, and I called him and set up an appointment--but he couldn't come until Tuesday. So I wind up almost melting in my house from the heat waiting on him, and he stands me up. Now I was supposed to go meet a client that night--and instead had to push that back and suffer in my house. I could have hung out at my girlfriend's had I not needed to wait on this character.

Well, finally on Wednesday I was able to meet another A/C repair company, and they fixed it (blown capacitor) and refilled my freon. All told, about $151, not bad at all! Of course, I wound up not being able to enjoy this A/C being back because I stayed at my girlfriend's house that night, but gosh it was nice to have it back--the Mississippi heat is relentless, and the humidity is positively swamplike.

Well, today is Friday, and I look forward to a thunderstormy weekend. But a weekend!!!

Ewige Blumenkraft!
