Where is my A/C?

I didn't post yesterday. The kid is in a library science workshop three days this week, which has required some adjusting of my routine. My friend, Dee, touched base with me around 9am yesterday because she was headed to an interview and her sitter flaked. She brought her daughter over for just a little bit (because the interview folks flaked, too) and was back before I could even get my pumpkin-chocolate-chip muffins out of the oven. I was able to send some stuff home with her, which made us both happy.

The leasing office here is supposed to give a 24-hour notice before entering for any reason. They're particularly fond of waiting until 3 or 4pm to let me know they're coming by at 9am the next day for routine extermination services. This requires that I clear my counters, move the fridge away from the wall, and pick everything up off the floor. It doesn't require, but I prefer, mopping right before they spray so that the spray has maximum time to work before I mop again. It's extremely disrupting, especially on short notice, is all I'm saying. They gave me one of these notices late yesterday afternoon.

After the bug man left today, I did get a chance to swing by the post office to send those CDs to my friend, Z. I also checked my mail and had the corrected copy of that birth certificate. The Register of Deeds actually sent two certified copies, I think by way of apology for the misspelling on my first copy. I also hit the grocery store for essentials (milk, bread, sour cream, beef). I got to visit with my sister for a little bit this afternoon, since she was able to swing by the library to pick up kids this afternoon on her way home from work.

I was particularly thankful, considering the fact that even though I just had my car's A/C repaired less than 30 days ago, it has gone out again. That's another thing I did today: called to express my frustration to my mechanic. I have to take the car back to him Friday. Let me tell you: driving around in this heat and humidity with the windows UP because it's raining is NOT mood-improving.

My most productive accomplishments in the last 24 hours have been downsizing my kitchen utensils and making another donation run. I got rid of the least-favorite measuring cups/spoons, purged all the non-matching silverware, etc.

Keeping.

Tossing.

And here are the things that left my house:

Movies.

CDs.

PC games, toys, wheel covers that never fit, books, and costumes.

On my way back from dropping off donations, I hit RedBox for a movie with a promo code. We're going to have stir-fry tonight (please let me finish this rice before we move!) and watch 'Oz, The Great and Powerful'...
