I am at the rehab. Made a stop at Sam’s Club and picked up 2 books, fresh fruit, Southwestern chicken and a mousse cake. Hubs went to town on the fruit. Only the blueberries were on the sour side. Glad to see their ribs are back. Still miss the barbecue ones.

It is very hot here as well. The humidity is low so it feels good. Tonight it is back to that awful word, humidity. The “h” word will be 70+ %. It will be close to 90%+ beginning tomorrow.

So sorry to hear about Dolly. I could have sworn that I saw her live yesterday. She is one of my favorites along with country and western music. She will be missed by so many. May she RIP.

I just arrived home after visiting hubs. I ordered a dinner as well at the rehab. It was a bad meal and of course I had a reaction. Thank goodness for Benedryl. Hubs was having a meal in the TV room with another patient. It was nice seeing them having a lively conversation.

Because of the heat and humidity in the house I now have mold in the kitfhen in every cabinet. This is the only room that is in this condition. Tomorrow I will start the cfleaning process and redoing all cabinets inside and out. The ceiling was not affected but the walls were. I will be masking up as I tackle the problem.

A/C is working well. I contacted the HVAC people about a humidistat. They will be contacting our electrical company to get the right fit. Their team will be at our home in September to do the hookups. Hopefully, this will eliminate the higher costs.

I again slept the day away. Somehow I managed to put the garbage out for pickup tomorrow. That bin is full to the brim. Since I was up at the crack of dawn everyday for 10 days, I started clearing areas. I cleared and cleaned the hallway and also made a huge pathway from the front door to that area. Back to Kp in the kitchen. I will be starting from scratch again. The inside of the cabinets are a complete mess from the high temps and humidity in the house. So I will be back to square one. It was a total of two weeks from start to finish on the A/C. It was enough to cause some damage to the inside of the cabinets. I will be using Dawn first to get rid of the musty stench. Will need to rewash all the dishes and glassware again. At least these are the ones that I will be keeping. Funny, the outside of the cabinets look good. Go figure.

The humidiy and temp are down a bit. It felt good to breathe again. The moon is out and the clouds have dissapated. Tomorrow I will venture to the Farmer’s Market. The temp will be in the low to mid nineties, but the humidity will be 60%. Though the sun will be hot , the humidity will let me think it is spring all over again. This would be a day that I would love to take a walk on the beach and to add some seashells to my collection. Wishful thinking on my part.

Have a wonderful evening.

I hear your husband on the cost of A/C. We have central air in Florida and our homes in the North are window A/C.. When we use the A/C at those homes we keep it going on low during the night with the overhead fans. The cost was the same. In Florida we have a humidistat that we set when we leave the house for any length of time. This actually is a huge savings since electricity is high no matter where one lives. However, lately, I just set the temps higher while I am gone. This keeps the cost down as well.

I am also concerned with shoelady. Not like her not to post and I just hope and pray that her family is OK.. I also remember her stating how tired she was and that she would be staying away from the computer for a few days. Then I read the news concerning the weather in the northeast. They had some severe thunderstorms and even tornadoes. This is very unusual weather and something that has never happened before. There are times I wish a family member would step in. This is one of those times.

@sheba2011

“Knock on wood,” the central air is working well. We now have another new one since the other one could not function out of the box. This one should save us some $$$. I hope. Howeverr, living in 95 degree heat with humidity in the house did not do well with me at the end. I tried to use the overhead fans but all it did was circulate the heat. It was not a good idea. The end result today is that wherever I sat I fell asleep. Seeing hubs was not to be. I actually fell asleep at the computer and looked at the clock at the bottom. It was after 5:30 pm. . I contacted the rehab and gave the receptionist a good laugh. I then had dinner and fell asleep again. Guess I was tired from the ordeal and not sleeping more than a couple of hours per day due to the heat. The bedroom cooled after 4 am when the temps were down. But each day I was up at the crack of dawn for the techs.

@sheba2011

The technician was here before 10 am and left after 5 pm. He came with the part that should have made the A/C workable. It did not. Around 2:30 pm he said he was throwing in the towel and ordered a new machine. Another tech was soon to arrive with a new replacement. This one is purring like a kitten (excuse my pun).

I am hoping that shoelady is OK. While sweating in what was our dining room I read some news and found that the Mortheast was hit with strong thundrstorms and tornadoes. And to make matters worse, more is on the way. Theres tons of damage from North Carolina to Maine. There was a venue in New Haven Ct. called the Lighthouse Carousel that sustained millions of dollars in damages. The hardest part was informing people that their wessing was cancelled. They have no idea when they will be back in service. So now I’m wondering if shoelady is having problems with these storms. I hope she and her mom and sis have electricity. No fun in this heat and humidity.

I will miss seeing hubs today. I finally fell asleep around 5 am and was rudely awakened by Alexa at 7am to rise and shine. The tech was expected between 8:30 am and 9:30 am. What a day to be working outside in Florida’s heat and humidity. Took no time for the temp in the house to reach 92 degrees. Now it’s in the low 80s and still going down. Almost forgot what being cool felt like. Yippee……. 🎵🎹🌈

@sheba2011

Me, when the kitchen is done😉😉🎹🎵🌴

@Sheba

No tech today. I had to make a phone fall. Will be here tomorrow am. On my way to visit hubs.

@sheba2011

I am with hubs who is sound asleep.. The rehab is cool. Their A/C is working. I will be here for another hour and then will venture back to the house. The A/C is still a huge problem. A new duct was installed and it is still not functioning correctly. When I awoke this morning the thermostat showed 81 degrees. When I left to see hubs it was 92. The tech will return sometime tomorrow am. He wants to try one more thing before he gives up. He also mentioned that I should not under any circumstance to shut the system down. Well I had no choice last night when I heard some banging which shook a couple of our rooms. When after 15 minutes this had not ended I turned everything back on at the panel. I am now wondering if the city is doing work nearby causing this occurrence. It could also be the reason that the A/C is not in working order. Why I mention this is because we lost WiFi and cable for most of the day on Monday. Again, no notice to Spectrum or to anyone in our community. we were told it was a power outage. Thank goodness for the updates from Spectrum.

I am wondering if everything kid ok with shoelady’s mom and sister. Or could. It be a computer
glitch due to the heat and humidity. She did mention that she would be away from the computer. Hope she and her family are OK. I am just as concerned as you are.

@sheba2011

I still have no A/C. Tech just left. Machine froze again. He will be back tomorrow early to replace the ducts. Hopefully this will be the answer. I think I will stay put. Will see by s after the work is done and the house becomes cooler. Right now I cannot move. Too hot.

@sheba2011

House is at 92 degrees. The Tecfh thought that some of the vents may have been boxed in, so I checked after he left. All but one is opened. So that turned out to be not an issue. What was an issue is that the A/C froze. Another tech will be here in the am tomorrow. This is no longer a laughing matter. Guess I will travel at least 50 miles from here to secure a room. I will see what happens tomorrow before I make any arrangements. We have some rain in the forecast for tomorrow. Hope it cfools us down a bit. I’m drinking Purified water and the Smart Water. I hope I will be able to be with hubs tomorrow.

@sheba2011

I am sitting in 92 degrees in the house. The technician was here after lunch and said it was working. It may be working but at a snail’s pace. There is something wrong but I’m not sure what. Meanwhile I cleared the hallway leading to the bedrooms and managed to do one load in the washer. The dryer will need to wait until tomorrow am. I am wondering if the duct work will need replacement. The cool air is just about coming through the vents. A cool shower is in order. No idea not see hubs today. I may leave here early am to join him where it just may be a tad cooler.

Your niece must be thankful that the culprit is gone. Wish her only the best. I miss shoe lady also. I hope she is ok.

@sheba2011

Yes, I was able to see hubs. Actually, I arrived very early in the afternoon and left when he started to fall asleep. Only problem was it was dark when I left. I forgot that sunset is now at 8pm or there abouts.

When I arrived home the A/C temp was 85 in the house. Not working. I checked the thermostat and it was on cool. Hmm…….It is now 2am and I did some fiddleling and I am now feeling a cool breeze. Wonder if it was on heat instead of cool. I am hearing a tiny hum and hopefully I will not be making any phone calls on a Sunday morning.

I ordered Asian with the receptionist. Oh what a delight. Enough leftovers for tomorrow.

I am not a happy camper with this heat and humidity. I suspect that it is like this in New England as well. Give me cold temps, snow, ice, sleet and rain and I’m OK. Give me lightning streaks I’m like an animal who would rather hide under a bed. The streaks scare me in that I can calculate where the next strike will be. Some have come real close to my car. There have also been times when I’ve been in the carport and a streak has hit the edge of our driveway. Luckily, no damage.

Have a wonderful Sunday. Hope your niece is recovering well. Still praying for a complete recovery.

@sheba2011

Did not see hubs today. At 2pm the sky took on a dark hue. Rain started just as I was heading for the shower. Thunder and lightning soon followed. It stopped and an hour later another one. I will drive in almost any type of weather. Give me streaks of lightning and I shudder. It was best I stayed home.

Instead of the kitchen I decided to declutter our desk. It looks like the papers are taller than the Empire State. Time to declutter. Back to the KP tomorrow. Miss shoelady and I hope her mom and sister are OK. This weather is something else. Our temps tdoay were in the mid 90s and when you factor the humidity, dewpoint with the temp it was about 111 outside. This is something that I am not used to. Breathing that air not good. Tomorrow the same. Hope to leave before noon to visit hubs for the day. Have a great evening.

@sheba2011

Hi. I am OK. Hot as blazes outside. Getting ready to visit hubs who ate 2 dinners last night while I sat and watched. Glad he has an appetite. I will write more later. Take care and ya, I wish those kitties would join you and Poppy inside. Did you ever leave the patio door opened to the house. They just may venture in to check it out. Just keep Poppy away from that area and see what happens.
