We've had other Friedrich a.c. units, one lasted 12 years and the other 9. They have a great reputation for being the 'Cadillac' of room a.c.'s. I do have a warranty that my BIL paid for so I need to get in touch with the company.
I have the windows closed to keep out heat and humidity, and have two fans to blow on me tonight. I do have a tiny a.c. unit I may have put in the living room window, but, it can't be done tonight. The a.c. man cannot get here til Fri or Sat. to clean big unit again. Depressing!
Tomorrow it is supposed to be 90, don't know what the real feel temp will be.
To top it off, I got my quarterly property tax bill in the mail today.
I need to relax, and trust God to work all things out, as He has in the past. Pray for me to be calm and patient.
On a positive note, two men from the church picked up my chair for me on Sat. morning. It fits perfectly in the space. The chair is a little dark for the summer, so I've covered it temporarily with the only thing I could find in my stash that would work. Not perfect, but I like the summer look.
Here's the chair before in the first photo, then covered in the second. Oh yea, the chair is a La-Z-Boy.
Miss Tork is enjoying the chair.
Ok, that's it for now.
Doing without,
makes us appreciate so much more,
whatever it is that we are having to do without.

I do hope your A/C gets sorted soon!
Seems like just when all is going smoothly, life throws us a curveball. I can't imagine you trying to live and sleep in such heat without ac. Heat has a way of getting me down. It has been very hot here today and several times I've had to stop myself and say, quit complaining, you have so much to be thankful for. Sometimes that is very hard to do.Ok,you didn't need to hear my woes, sorry, but I just had to get it out.
Have a peaceful night.
So sorry to hear about the ac. Hopefully the heat won't be too bad until you can get it fixed or replaced under warranty. Then to get your tax bill on top of that. I know how it can get sometimes when it feels like everything is happening at once.
Your chair looks great the way you covered it.
The chair looks nice and comfy! I'm sorry about the a/c going out again. That is a big bummer. Lots of cold drinks and maybe put some damp cloths in the freezer to place on the back of your neck periodically if you get too hot. I do this for my husband when he works out in the heat. Tax bills are always depressing!
But you are right...the Lord will calm you and give you wisdom and peace. Hugs, my friend!!
The chair is a blessing for sure. All of my furniture, with the exception of very few pieces, are hand-me-overs. đŸ™‚
Yes, just as you mentioned, the first thing to remember when we find ourselves in an unexpected situation is to pray. I find myself stewing and then I remember to do what should have been done first. We are all learning that I am sure.
Praying that the AC problem is settled once and for all soon. Stay as cool as possible.
I have never lived with AC. Occasionally we have weeks of 90-110 degree weather, during which iced drinks and wet cloths are indispensable. I know, it's so much worse in the humidity!
I don't know if you were reading my blog when I wrote about Aunt Ida, who was a missionary a hundred years ago in Panama and Peru. In Panama, she perfected strategies for coping with heat. I dug up that post and offer it here for your amusement, but don't laugh too hard, because that runs counter to her experienced advice. https://gretchenjoanna.com/2013/07/05/aunt-ida-warns-against-haste-in-the-blood/
Maybe you are already cool again with working AC - I hope so. And then you can laugh all you want.
Your chair looks so nice and love the window. Last year our AC went out and it brought back those days when growing up when we only had a fan to use. Why do they break down on the hottest days. Hope it gets fix soon.
The cover works perfectly, enjoy your chair and hope the AC gets put right soon. Was surprised to find it was 2 years old, seems like only yesterday you were writing to say you were getting a new one. Time goes so quickly now.

So sorry about your continued AC troubles! And with the heat :( It is worrisome, and I know so well the anxiety that comes with money troubles. I hope God gives you peace, and shows you how He will provide. It is always hard to wait, and trust.
