Good Tuesday Morning to All;
Lookee see what I found at the bottom of my washer... (Time to go shopping)!!! hehehe And dog food seems to be at the top of the list! They have enough for a few days though, so will try to enjoy the 70+ degree temps we are to have today!
I got about 10 of my baby trees planted on Sunday. A tough job when the sweat is just pouring into your eyes... And time to get my contacts out too. (Funny to have ones glasses steam up when you go outside). I removed the rest of the trees from the sun and the Miracle~Gro. If you leave them soak for too long in it they get an overdose. (yes, they do recover)... They are now just in plain water. I have about 20 more to plant...
What a busy day yesterday was! The temps had never even gotten below 78 night before last. And even though Miss Kelli had carried up the new A/C from the basement, it was still needing to be put in the window.
Do you all know that if you get a new window a/c that the darned thing has to be put together? I didn't. But yeah, it was high time to be getting that in the window, (if nothing more than to at least remove a bit of the humidity in here)... My dehumidifier in the basement has been working overtime, and all the time...
Casey drove out as soon as her 1st Cutco appointment was over. Roberta and Gabriel were here soon after that. Hot. Muggy. Sticky. (Not so nice when one has to be reading the fine print and all). AND, we only had about 150 things left over. hehehe Not too bad... After all, it was our first...
Pull.
Cuss.
Tug.
Cuss.
Yank.
Cuss.
(And that was only to be removing the unit from the case). hehehe
You get the picture. I had to add a few boards to it also as I have storm windows which do not allow the a/c to tip and drain properly. I couldn't find a stupid 2x4 anywhere, so I used 2 old bed slats...
Measure.
Saw.
Drill.
Screw.
(not too much new cussing during this)...
Attach case to window.
Put unit into case.
Somebody had to be on the outside... And given the fact that my 2 poor kids were just looking for a chance to be away from me, they decided to both go outside, leaving poor Master Gabriel wishing HE could have gone out too...

Had to then dig out the extension cord from under the piano. Quick thinking, and I was the one that had stuck it there to begin with. Oops. It is a dedicated outlet, and when I had moved the computer to the front room, I had used that outlet, plugging the surge protector into the extension cord. (Yes, the x~cord is rated tops, so I shall not be burning the house down with it).
Miss Punk was completely bored throughout the whole fiasco. And since her little pool now drains dry with its leak, there was little for her to do while we struggled with the darned a/c.

Casey and I took a walk out by the garden to check on my weeds. (They are growing just fine)...

And it has been so hot and dry that I found out that in this weather I can actually grow prunes on the tree too!

Later though, the skies darkened, the winds picked up, (my weather radio went off twice), and it finally began to rain. Nothing scary. No thunder even. And judging from the notes I have received regarding my blast, contrary to popular belief I did NOT go out and shower in it. I only meant I 'could' have. (As the temps had then dropped to a more reasonable and seasonable 68 degrees, it was a bit chilly to be doing so)! Maybe next time?
The power went out for about 20 minutes or so. Punkie even gave out a warning growl when everything went silent in the house... And since it was restored not too long thereafter, it was time to be dismantling this computer of mine and bringing it to the back room once again. Since I am still digging through the mess in there, I did at least locate my desk to be able to set it up once more. By then it was SO late, and time to get a bit of sleep.
I have overslept once more and need to be getting busy!
I wish you all a great Tuesday!!!
XOXO
