Appointments

Okay, I now have an appointment to get the new heat pump installed on July 28-29, and the duct cleaning on July 30. Lots to do between now and then. Today's experiment involved putting a small fan into the bedroom window and letting it run for hours, once it was cooler outside than inside. It did reduce the temperature in here from 87 to 79, which is something. Meanwhile, it was cool enough outside, where I was reading in the evening, that by 8 pm I needed a jacket.

In other news, I should report that J's parents' home is okay, after the big storm Chantal hit Chapel Hill. His mom had to do quite a lot of cleanup for someone who is 82, but it sounds like she's okay too. The restaurant where they normally get food to go every Tuesday is now closed, however, and a photo of its flooded condition appeared in the New York Times. I think the pool where they swim is closed as well.

Floods are very scary. I'm glad J's parents are all right. There will be huge amount of damage to clear up when the water subsides.

Lots of freak weather events - glad they're ok!

Thank goodness they are okay. That is a lot of work for someone who is 82.
