Repairman #3 for the air conditioner was here for 4 hours. Talk about stress! He finally started talking. The poor guy just couldn’t figure it out until he noticed a valve outside wasn’t working correctly. I think he took the whole A/C unit apart. He has to order the part. It’s a hefty bill. We learned from a message that the supervisor wasn’t going to charge us for the first two visits (almost $400!!). Thank goodness.

Haven’t heard about Tori. Mom called twice as did I. Mom always thinks the worst, like she is in the hospital. I think they would have told us. We’ve dealt with strep and once we got the medicine in our system we felt a ton better.

I finished a graduation piece for my nephew Patrick. I’m making it into a flat piece (like an ornament) with a hanger. I’ll post a photo soon.

BTW-here’s a cool way to get some extra cash-gather up your pounds of coins and go to one of those Coin Star machines (better yet, cash them in for free at a Commerce bank- we don’t have any around here). I had half a freezer bag full and we got $38! Bri got kitty litter (ha), we had enough for a light dinner, 2 greeting cards for Bri’s dad (his 84th is on the 23rd) and I blew the rest on  a Raggedy Ann (for my collection) and a patriotic mini flag. My father-in-law gives us a bunch of coins all the time.

Going to hit the hay shortly. We’ve all had a long and stressful day.
