Vacation: Day 6
Got up at o-dawn-too-damn-early so I could take a quick shower before my 8-12 window for the A/C guy. By eight I was curled up on the couch with the phone nearby - where I quickly fell asleep until ten. Made myself get up off the couch, moved to the chair and played sudoku until they called to say they were on the way. The tech got here just a few minutes before noon! I really wish they had smaller appointment windows because I could have slept in!
He did his thing and everything is working fine. The A/C blower has a max rating of .80 and is running at .73, which is really high and means it could go at any time. This is not news as it has been inching up there with every service call since I bought the house. A replacement part would be $700, which isn't cost effective when you take into account that the whole unit is 19 years old. So when it goes I'll be getting a new air conditioner. This is why I've been saving money almost obsessively.
After the tech left I tried playing some more sudoku but eventually gave up as I couldn't keep my eyes open. A little after one I went back to bed, just to take a nap. Woke up at 4:30. So much for a "little nap". But hey I'm on vacation, right? So I can sleep all day and stay up all night if I want. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do this evening but I think I should get to it! Later.
