Not a lot of blogging time, we have cleaned carpets, cleaned house, windows, etc. since Thursday after work. All the things I have not been able to do in a while because of my back, knee & hips. I must say I feel pretty good, only having to take a few pain pills this whole time. I've scrubbed most of the carpet in the house, the kids did their rooms and the stairs, but I have been up on step ladders, washing windows, cleaning ceiling fans, and working like a fool for 2 & 1/2 days, and just finished for the day a little while ago.
It is like 104 outside today, which with the help of our new window air conditioner unit downstairs, kept it a cool 79 degrees running full blast today, the window unit is assisting the central air conditioner to work. Otherwise, it is would be 10 degrees cooler in the house than the outside temperature. Thankfully we have a window unit upstairs in our bedroom that helps at night. Our room is the southwest corner of the house, and gets the flaming hot sun of the afternoon and evening. We are now working (our paychecks) for the electric company.
P.S. Vernon promises me by next summer, we can get a central air conditioner that actually facilitates the size of our house. We believed a shady air conditioner repairman several years ago when one July weekend the original central unit went out on a Saturday, and the temperature inside the house reached 102. He promised us that if we could wait till after work on Monday that he could cut us a deal which was about 1/4 of the price he tried to sell us while he was "on the job". Of course we bit, and has been a pain in the ass since. Fortunately our son in law Mark is now an A/C technician, and has been helping us get through the summer, and is going to help us to get another one. Yeah Mark!!!!!!!!!!
