• And Exhale.

    Almost any day spent at home by myself is a peaceful day. Today was no exception. “What, you’re home by yourself on a Wednesday? Don’t you have to work?” Well yes, normally I would be at work today. Earlier this week I mentioned an illness that Cheryl insisted I could not talk about in this space. Well it’s deja vu all over again. If you toss out those bouts of (CENSORED) the day has been pretty cool. I almost feel bad about not working. Oh, oh – here comes another (CENSORED).

  • Holding my breath.

    I can’t wait to hear from our AC guy. We’re waiting for a call back to set up an appointment for our “free” estimate. How big of them. Our air conditioner is blowing warm air. It’s 07/and we’re right smack in the middle of the northern hemisphere, so this is not a good thing. Since we would really rather it blow cold air this time of year, it’s pretty much a given that we’ll soon be seeing less of our money.

    So the estimate is free? That’s not the part I’m worried about paying for.

  • My money and I have separated.

    We just broke down. I don’t know if it was any one thing. Somewhere along the line we just started seeing less and less of each other. There were always excuses… car repairs, appliance replacement, new cars, and vacations. Sure, it wasn’t just the big things. There were everyday things that kept us apart too. Day care, utility bills, insurance, high speed internet access, mortgage payments, cell phones … there seemed to be no end. One thing after another was keeping us apart. How can a relationship last like that?

    I guess it was a big one that finally tipped the scalles. The air conditioner started blowing warm air, and it was the final straw. George, Abe, Alex… they all just got up and left. I don’t know if we’ll ever see each other again.
