Alarm clock woke me up in a DEEP sleep this morning. That's cause' I woke up, again, in the middle of the night and have no idea how long it took me to get back to sleep. Another strange dream I was in, too. I was with a group of people at a huge apartment complex. We were broken up into small groups and given apartment numbers to find. The complex was set up strange in terms of number - they were not congruous and were thrown all over the place. A map was given with only a few of the entire complex's numbers on it.
An older gentleman and I spent over an hour looking for one, single apartment that we never found - cause' I woke up. When I did wake up, I was apparently angry for whatever was happening in that dream.
That is some STRANGE stuff. Who goes on apartment complex door number searches for a contest? I have never heard of such a thing. I doubt it exists anywhere. But dreams are like that. I most certainly do not like to wake up angry, upset or otherwise because of some stupid dream.
Regardless, a cold shower and a few cups of coffee have helped wake me up some, but I am still in a semi-fog right now. Nothing I can do about that excepting that the work day approaches and soon I will be moving around - alot - getting the blood pumping which usually helps.
The days are hot here now - obviously - the female tenant and the ex-Marine were complaining loudly about it yesterday. Yes, well when you step outside from a cool house into 111 degree heat, dunno what they are expecting, a cool sheen of moist air flowing over their faces? I haven't even looked at the forecast, to me, it's a done deal: 100 plus degree days for the next 3 months at least. I was out there yesterday, sweating profusely while applying a coat of mortar to the pond at the top of the falls and also setting some rocks into place to keep the water contained while the water flows down the falls. I should be able to run water through it today and see if I have effectively leak proofed it and have it to the point to where it can actually be used.
I have this fear that the AC is going to quit again this season. It's a 2 and a half year old system, yet the compressor already died once. Should not have problems with AC for at least 3 or 4 years if you service it. No idea. The fear is that I don't have the money to replace that thing again, $800. If it happened, what, exactly, would I do? No idea. I hope that is not a bridge I will have to cross.
Anyway, I must get offa here.
Have a great day!

you could always get a wall unit ac for backup. They're pretty affordable. More so if you buy one used. I've seen them as low as $100
Yes, I used to use those in the "old days" when I had only evap cooling in my house and I would use a large window unit in my bedroom to keep it nice and cool at night. I had thought about that - probably a good idea to have one, but, in reality, I would have to have them for tenants, too. I will be looking for deals on CL, however, the electric use is so high right now, I really cannot afford much over anything I am currently paying just to keep my place going - and probably will stay that way until summer is over, unfortunately.
