Last evening, Loren picked me up and we went to the Pantages Theatre, for Jessica's dance recital. Gillian was along, although she had her own car. During the intermission it was interesting to get both hers and Loren's perspective on what we were seeing. Neither of them was impressed by the dancing, nor the actual choreography. We were impressed with how far Jessica has progressed in her dancing. We thought she stood out in her performance. Of course, we might have been a little prejudiced. Her number was a group doing musical theatre, and her role was a primary one.
I got home early, and David, having been stuck in the house all day, wanted a bit of air, so we headed to the casino for a couple of hours, and left a little richer. But, when we got home, it was obvious that there was a problem with the A/C. It had been on for about 8 hours, and the temperature in the house was down by only one degree. We turned it off, and first thing this morning, I called and made an appointment to have it looked at--for Monday morning. ($$$$) Since yesterday, and the day before, were the first really hot days of the summer, everyone was looking for help with A/C.
Yesterday morning, I had moved furniture and washed the floor in the studio. I came across the cable tv connection that we had used when there was a second tv downstairs. I was curious about what a small tv might cost, since we're paying for the second outlet regardless. So we stopped in at Best But this afternoon and found one for less than $200. After we got home poor David spent over an hour on the phone with Shaw Cable technical help, but still couldn't get it hooked up, as there was problem with the power cord for the tv. So, back to Best Buy. And Shaw will be out tomorrow to hook the darn thing up.
Talking to Amber, recently, she mentioned that her car was so dirty in side that she had paid an extra $20 at the Chamois for twenty minutes of extra cleaning. Sounded good to us. ( Someone had spilled coffee, and cookie crumbs, all over the center console, and there was gravel all over the floor) So we went in on our way home from the first trip to Best Buy. They spent almost 40 minutes actually working with the car in the detailing booth. Did fantastic job. We spent the time in the waiting area talking with a variety of people. Interesting people. We talked about tattooing, body piercing, the merits of various types of cars, car colours, and the management of an assisted living residence. The fact that both David and I had books with us and were trying to read them, didn't make any difference.
And now we appear to be in the middle of a thunderstorm. I had been dreading trying to sleep in the heat, but maybe it will cool down for us.
