AC Repair

Yesterday was the first day of school for Abi Lily Sophi and Natalie, but I didn't take any pictures, cause I was up the mountain on a bike ride. Abi took Lily, who had to be at school early to give the incoming freshmen a tour, cause she is a "RISE ambassador", then Abi came back and got ready. School started for her at 9:30. Corey took jr high carpool, they started at 9:45 as well. 

Owen went swimming with a friend around noon, and today he went to the lake with another friend. He's got a good social life. DPK have been playing legos and watching movies in my crazy hot bedroom ~ watching Prince of Egypt and Curious George. I don't know why or how they are able to tolerate being in there cause it's so hot - the AC hasn't been working for over a week. I thought it was bad Tuesday at 89°F but I knew it would be worse on Wed cause the temp got up to 98°F! So seeing the forecast, I texted our landlord to let her know and she gave me the ok to contact the AC guy Elden. The girls have been sleeping on the main floor on the couches, and did last night too cause it was just took hot. Elden was able to send someone to look at it yesterday. The tiny old AC unit on the right here is the one that cools the upstairs. 

He said the motor wasn't working. And after he talked to the landlord, she gave the ok to install a new AC, so they are here installing that right now (10am) and I trust that tonight everyone will be able to sleep in their bedrooms. Hooray hooray.

So that's was the main thing that went on here today. When Abi got home, I went to the temple, then stopped by Walmart for rice milk and also brought home some hardship ice cream for the kids. They also played trains in the basement. The basement is a good place to be right now. The main floor is comfortable temperature too, and you can feel the heat when you go up the stairs, and feel the cool temperature when you come downstairs. I'm going to post this now but will update later if anything else interesting happens today. 

4PM - the AC guys are still here, I feel bad it's taken them so long! I guess changing an AC unit was a matter of unattaching the outside thing and putting a new one in out there, but they've mostly been working inside close to where the furnace is at the top of the stairs. They started around 8:30 but I think they are almost done. I hope they had lunch. I've just been here making myself available if they needed to tell me anything. I've been able to get some blogging done so that's good. Daniel has Karate at 5:15, and then I plan to go climbing after that.
