...I turned on the air conditioner this morning. I think it's working okay—at least I hope it is for Pidge's and Willow's sakes. I tested it out yesterday afternoon, and the first couple of times it didn't seem to come on properly. Of course it's been sitting there for six months with nothing to do but absorb pine tassels and pine straw and whatever other gunk falls out of the trees. (I know; we should cover it up in the winter. Just have never gotten around to doing it.)

(Not to mention that the darn thing is about ten years older than God...)

Our decision to put the A/C on springs not from the daytime temps—I set the thermostat to 79°F during the day to save energy—but the nighttime ones. The moment it gets up over 60°F at night it is unbearable to sleep upstairs without the attic fan on, and since we have to keep the bedroom door open to get the benefit and I then therefore sleep (or try to sleep) next to the rumbling, vibrating thing, it's a problem. James and I both like it cool when we sleep.

I need to call to have the spring inspection done. Had I not been so worried about James, I would have had them come while he was home sick. Now I either have to take more time off (which I don't have) or wait until next Friday (if they can come next Friday, of course).

I'm a bit confused because I got the renewal for the twice-yearly inspection, but not for the home maintenance contract, which expired at the end of last month. They usually nag me a couple of months about it. But then we lost mail at least once: we didn't get our 1099 and one of my credit card bills didn't come as well; it might have been in that set of mail.
