Things falling apart

Had to hustle home from the office today after Mary said there was a problem with a circuit upstairs, the one that powers the lights and also the ceiling fan. Which is important, because our AC is out up there. After we paid like $900 a couple of weeks ago to fix it (we're waiting for the guy who fixed it to come back in since he's the one who took the thing apart recently). So we need that ceiling fan.

Meanwhile, the "r" key on my laptop is messed up, Mary's car still kinda stinks despite my valiant efforts to get the smell out a couple of weeks ago. One of the ceiling fans out on the porch is messed up, which is important now that it's getting truly hot, and we have a couple of windows and a skylight that need work -- a long-running condition but I am I guess in a fix it mode now. We also need to paint the master bedroom. Marvin is ready to go, I just need to get Mary to pick out a color.

Owning objects just sucks. Books are much better. The worst that can happen is if you spill coffee on them, and replacing them is almost always cheap.

The good thing about our current predicament is that we've been keeping the upstairs at 78 or 79 by using fans, and it turns out that as long as the ceiling fan is on that's a reasonable sleeping temperature. So we've been resting up just fine.
