Fall-ing
         What is it with plumbers? You call them when you have a problem, now. Or remodeling whenever. Getting same day service is non-existent. Allowing for weekends and holidays, it still takes 2 to 4 days before someone will come do an estimate, then schedule service. So you do without a toilet or a kitchen sink until someone can work you in. Let's hope you're not flooding.

         Moving on. We need a new air-conditioning system with duct work put in. We have to remove our stored items from the attic which is over 100 degrees. Plus the guys aren't going to give their best effort when they're sweating and in a hurry to get down from there. So we're waiting until the temperature drops. At least we have fans down here and window units. Every thing seems to go bad at once. We just replaced the washer when the old one quit. The house is in desperate need of painting, and that will only cost half of what the AC will cost. My yard help isn't coming any more, so the weeds are overtaking the shrubs, the trees, the walkways, the cracks in the patio, and porches. My dad is 90, but he tackled the morning glory creeping up the deck. I thought they were clematis gone wild.

         I still can't get the software for my printer to work. But that may be more on me than the printer. I've had it too long to take it back. I'm coughing my head off with allergy-hay fever trouble or whatever. I'm falling apart along with the house and the yard. I'm not a victim. That's just life. We take it day by day. When I look back at notes and prayer lists from years ago, I know that all the problems eventually resolve themselves, not necessarily the way I'd like. My husband died from drinking too much. But all the job searches and financial problems worked out at the time. They will now. It's just a needy season.
