Ouch

A/C guy called, checked on prices - the new unit is going to cost between $4200 - $4500. He said he'd try to get us through the next couple of months by adding freon if we wanted to do that. The past few days have been pleasant, we've just had the fans going and the windows open. So, I hope we can ride it out a while so I can cushion my savings account for the blow.

Too soon

I've had a relapse... got up this morning, made the bed, started to get ready for work, and went and crawled back into bed. I'm up and about now, and yes, I'm drinking juice, not going to get dehydrated again.

Working some from home, working A/R by gotomypc. At least I don't feel like a total bum. 2009 was supposed to be my healthy year!

Back to work

It was back to work today, still not feeling great, but much, much better. I lost 7 lbs while sick - YAY! Hard way to do it, but if you've gotta be sick, might as well get some benefit out of it. Hope I can keep it off and use it as a good starting place to lose more.

A/C :-(

The A/C guy came out... some coil something or other is kaput. I don't have a clue about all of the technical detail, but Chris understands it. Bottom line, we can't replace the part, we have to replace the unit - to the tune of $3500 - $4000!

We put a band-aid on it by adding more freon. He said that could hold it a while, or just a couple of days. A while is much better in my book...

IV's make it all better

While at Gina and Don's wedding reception, I started feeling bad, sore throat mainly. On the way home, I got worse and worse. By 5 pm the next day, I asked Chris to take me to the ER. I was dehydrated (again). Got a bag of IV fluids, some Phenergan, slept all night and all day today, got up around 3 pm. Ate my first meal since Saturday. Feeling human again.

Gina and Don

Went to Tennessee on Saturday with Tonya and Susan for our friend Gina's wedding. Gina and Don had a beautiful outdoor wedding with perfect weather.

A/C

Forgot to mention in my randomness post that when we got home today, we walked into a house with a non-functioning air conditioner! We spent $700 this winter to get the heater fixed, so now I have to call the A/C guy tomorrow and have him come take a look at it. The house is only 8 years old. I hope that I don't end up having to get a new unit! Please say a prayer with me.
