Gee whiz! I’ve enuf stuff to take care of three days worth of news… lolol And then some!
Before I forget, the figures for the A/C yesterday were wrong… A/C is actually 8000 btu not 6000. I have no idea where that 6 came from … I DO know that my brane and fingers, separately and/or collectively, have minds of their own. Rarely do I have any control over either one.
Oh children, it is yummy cool in here… Might even have to put some clothes on! Bad Paula… shame on meems! Lololol
One thing about the window unit… (I’m not used to having a noisy fan going in here during the day) .. Sound is different and I was aware of the sound all day. Was not comfy with it but today is not as bad. By tomorrow, I shouldn’t ‘hear’ it at all.
There is a small problem with this tho… The a/c drowns out all other sounds… I cannot hear the crows fussing or the dogs barking or my flyguys going over…Well ratz… life ain’t perfect and I am very comfortably cool… Shut up, Paula!
Let’s see here… Oh, me being a bad girl at Wal-mart. I asked the clerk with some help with the a/c.. sort of heavy for me and Jess to handle… The sainted Gary disappeared as soon as we went thru the doors… Can you believe he refuses to be seen with the two of us girls? Can’t imagine why! Lolol Anyway, to be nice to the guy, he did have shoulder surgery about a month ago.
Purty soon here comes a cute young man to do the lifting and toting for us… He told me that he worked 3 jobs and was still broke…
Well, me being the kind hearted soul that I am, I offered him a rent free space in the basement; sleep on the hide a bed down there… in exchange for some work that needs to be done around the house.
Jessie, friend that SHE is (not) warned him not to take me up on the deal… I would work him to death! Me, in the meantime, is standing there looking innocent and childlike… The check out clerk and the young man cracked up… Young man told me he has a home of his own… Paid for! Sheesh… Told him I was so disappointed… had my hopes built up and all that nonsense… lolol
Then, I paid the bill by check…Now remember… this little mountain woman who ain’t been to a ‘big’ store in forever, is now in a big town with the latest electronic gizmos. I write out the check… Gal rings it up and now I have to sign my name on the little electronic box thingy.
Lordy pete… I put the point of the pen on the little box and I start to sign my name. Pen and signature line refuse to match up. While I am pondering on this situation, the young man keeps saying: “Now don’t confuse her. Don’t confuse her”…
Well, deciding that pen and line are never going to meet, I scribble my name. Put the pen down and stand there…
And stand there…
All at once, young man reaches across me and punches a button on the box thingy. Jess and clerk are cracking up!
I look at box again… there, as plain as day, in the bottom left hand corner is a button that says ‘enter’ or sumfin like that.
I didn’t see that button… didn’t know I had to push it… Duh Paula! I looked at Jess.. Did you know? She nodded yes… I wanted to know why she didn’t say sumfin… I quote: “ you were having too good a time”…Well, that was a truism…!
Any how, after clearing the check-out lane, out the door we go… Young man pushing the cart with the a/c…to the pick-up. Loaded the a/c in the bed. I thanked the young man…and gave him a hug and a smooch on the cheek… He giggled but did not blush. Kissed me back… Wowser… Wonder if he is up for adoption. Never hurts to ask! Lolol
I think I need to get out more often… lololol
I am out a here… gots to start rearranging furniture and stuff… Oh yeah… move or change one little thing and the whole house gets out of whack! Gots to make space so I can remove the filter on the a/c. Groan!
Take care all of mine…Go in safety always. Remember to head the other direction if I mention the need to go shopping. Especially if you are easily embarrassed.
Many hugs and much love… the had the best time meems
