It turns out there's a problem with some elusive part to my HVAC system and it can't be procured until Monday. I find it hard to believe there's no way to get parts during the weekend. Oh, well.
The guys were nice. After Marcus had been here 2+ hours, with no solution, I figured it might take a while. I was pleased when his boss showed up, complete with another helper. Boss was very apologetic (sincere apologies go a long way with me - there are way too few of those around.) After he broke the news to me, he appeared with two window units. After I made the big decision of where to put them, they popped them in, and even sealed around the edges so bugs wouldn't get in. Again, that went a long way with me. On the other hand, the window A/Cs are pretty anemic. I might suggest that they upgrade to some newer ones (and maybe a couple more.) They're pretty cheap. I suppose that would be looking a gift horse in the mouth, though.
Little sis brought two box fans. Old-fashioned box fans are far superior to those oscillating tower fans. Way cheaper, too. In fact, I tried to use one from my parents' house, but it was pathetic. It's out on the curb.
It's still 80 degrees in the living room, but since I have my own A/C in my bedroom upstairs, it's not a big problem. The D was just fine this morning. And I have recovered from my extremely foul mood, which I'll blame on the heat and frustration of having to deal with a state of the art (expensive) HVAC system which broke less than a year after I bought it.
Enough bitching. I'm gonna head down the hall to the wind tunnel to watch CBS Sunday Morning with The Daddler. And put some ice in my coffee.
