So, here is how the week has been going: On Monday, I made my feeble attempt to fire up the air conditioning without much success. However, I took care of enough other small jobs that I felt as if I had accomplished something. On Tuesday, I did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Unless catching up on sleep is considered something. On Wednesday, I ran errands with my wife and mother-in-law– yessiree guys, I was living the dream. Grocery shopping is a necessity, but buying food and butt-wipes doesn’t really do anything to further the progress at home.
So today, I decided to get as much done in the kitchen as possible. Screw in the plugs to the boxes so they can actually be used, put our stuff in the cupboards and drawers, and maybe even do a bit of cleaning. Yup, place for everything and everything in its place, as long as we can figure out what things belong to what places. At least we’ll get the boxes out of our family room– one more step towards de-cluttered bliss.
As luck would have it, the HVAC guy showed up around noon. His first order of business is to get our AC fired up (finally). The rads may not get installed until tomorrow, but we won’t be needing heat for a while. Turns out that there was a bit of a misunderstanding about when the job would be scheduled for completion. I was pretty sure that we had decided for me to slap up some drywall last weekend so the job could be finished this week. But as far as the boss knew, I was going to call when I was ready for them to return. My wife called yesterday and got everything straightened out and sure enough, work has resumed today.
Purolator (or was it UPS) also came by today with the multiswitch for our satellite. I just have to call to arrange for installation.
Now, if I can just keep that momentum going…..
