Dryer Fail

Even though it was the weekend, I woke up early yesterday. A concrete contractor was supposed to come by in the morning. I waited all morning and finally got a call at noon. The cat needed some more time to get to my house.

When he came, this cat had a low estimate for new driveway lane we want paid. He quoted us less than half the cost of the previous guy. Momoko was a little bit suspicious. I have an action item to check with the county as to whether the short cuts this contractor recommends are legal.

Momoko made me get one more quote from a reputable company. In other news, our clothes dryer broke down yesterday. I scrambled to get to a laundromat to get my two loads of laundry dried. Momoko is scheduled to go out and actually purchase our new dryer. That is a relief. I am spending a lot of my time with these driveway contractors.

Another Day at Home

Our contractor returned today. He patched up the kids bathroom wall. Now he was not able to match the pink tiles in the shower. He also put the finishing touches on mine and Momoko's shower. This little drippy shower has been transformed into a power massage shower.

For lunch I went to my favorite restaurant, Pizzaria Uno's. I got a waitress who seemed to know me. Too bad I did not know her. Got two bowls of the all you can eat Broccoli and Cheese soup. Also had a Caesar salad which initially came out with no salad dressing.

I went out to cut the grass today. The temperature was very hot. And the sun really put a beating down on me. Wouldn't you know it? I ran out of iced tea during the ordeal. I put our weed wacker to good use in the back yard. The weeds were absolutely out of control back there.

Tomorrow I plan to sleep in. Then I am going to write a couple new programs to learn the stuff. Momoko and I plan to eat a simple dinner - Jerry's subs and pizzas.

End of the Heat

I got 4 window air conditioning units ready to go. Tomorrow my contractor is coming to do some installs. Let's hope he stays long enough to put all the A/C units in. They will be going in each of the bedrooms upstairs.

Things have been just too hot recently. I don't even sleep in my bedroom any more. I sleep in the basement where it is actually cold. The problem is that we have the best pillow top bed upstairs. The basement only has an old queen sized bed that is not as comfortable. But I can't get any shut eye when the weather is too hot.

Tomorrow night I plan to sleep in my bed again. If the A/C units are all in and working, I will crank the temperature down to extra cold. Might even need a comforter on the first night. Ahh I can't wait.

Get Cold

The clouds and rain have gone away. Now the weather is warm. And the house is getting hot. Luckily my 4th window air conditioning unit got delivered today. Ordered them from Amazon. I called up my contractor and asked him to fit us in sometime.

We are pretty much going to have a guy cut some holes in the walls upstairs. Each bedroom will get an air conditioning unit. Kit Kat and Little Kat will get ones that have a remote control. With 4 A/C units going, I have a feeling out hot upstairs will be getting nice and cold. That's the way I like it.

The first A/C arrived a week ago. I had to drag the thing inside even though Kit Kat had already come home from school. Now when a heavy package arrives, Kit Kat drags it in for me. That is only fair as I have to carry the darn thing up the stairs. Come on contractor. Install our A/C units please.
