What's everybody doing today?

Been making phone calls and trying to deal with AC problems. $720+ later, the AC wasn't fixed yesterday. 6lbs of refrigerant were put in but they all leaked out in about an hour and it never got cold inside. Got down to like 86. Opened windows and shut AC off and it got down to 83 but went back up again. It's cooler outside than inside right now. So aggravating.
Had back and forth calls with the people who installed the outside unit. They can't get an air handler that matches bc they were discontinued. Place he recommended is too far and won't do the service so warranty would be useless.
I called 10 different places with results ranging from call can't go through, no longer in service, answering machine, answering service, we'll call you back later (never got call back from those), and finally tenth one the lady was super sweet and they already have someone heading out for a free estimate. They texted me a mini bio of him saying his name, his hobbies, a photo, etc.

AC guy called while I was typing this. He should be here in about 45 to 50 minutes. I gave him some directions to make it easier to find.

I cleaned litterboxes, took out more trash, swept up the floor some more, cleaned hallway, put down some carpet powder and fresh puppy pads, sprayed febreeze all around. Hopefully it won't be so bad smelling when he gets in. I'm sure my room reeks of my sweat right now. I can't stop sweating.

I better get the truck serviced soon before it breaks down on me.

What a nice day and I slept so good last night
After I saw Trump huge wins

It did worth it to go to bed at 1.30 am

Went to grocery ..it was mild and nice today

That is the way I was feeling yesterday and today as well *Happy*
I know we all all sleep really well since a REAL GREAT PRESIDENT ELECT
REAL Americans are Happy .........Cats and Dogs are happy too

So the AC guy came out and said he can find something that pairs with the condenser of a different brand. So long as it uses the same power, is the same size, and uses the same refrigerant it should work fine. I'm hoping he's right bc the units aren't cheap. He had several options and one had free parts and labor for 10years. They will put an air purifier on the plenum and he's throwing in a surge protector for free. He said we can move the vent from bro's bedroom into the hallway. Rather than going to a single 24x24" vent (minimum size required for the air handler), the original installers put one vent in the hallway and the other just behind the door in the bedroom. So it was something like this: (please excuse how sloppy it is-- I suck at proportion and perspective)

The vent in my brother's room keeps getting covered in trash, clothes, etc. Makes it harder to change the filters-- especially since he can now lock his door and it will stay shut because of the repair strikeplate.
I asked and they said I can move the bedroom vent to the hallway as that is one big compartment underneath.
so, it would be like this:

I'm going to have to get a bin for some of the stuff that is in the way of the air handler.

This morning i went to yet another funeral, 2nd one this week. Took the folks to doc apts this afternoon. I'm wiped out.

In spite of this I've seen more cable news since midnight last night than I have in 4 years, not an exaggeration. Was pretty sure of the real outcome but was equally sure there'd be another 2am ballot dump. What a pleasant surprise when I woke this morning!

The rest of the coverage is pure comic relief. Some of the funniest lines I've heard in ages. SNL should book all of them. It'd be the second greatest comeback in history.

Heading to bed! Very tired after little sleep last night!! My back is doing much better, not necessarily right now, but in general today! Prayers for LadyLocust!!

Had Rehab again today. One of the machines had a much higher level set on it than what I am suppose to be doing. Plus they upped my time by 25% today. That about wiped me out. By the time I got home my knees were shaking coming up the steps. Work out went well though.
