AC!

Two days from today is our fifth wedding anniversary. That means this coming weekend is when we're going to Vegas to celebrate. Yay! I can't believe I didn't realize that this coming weekend is Memorial Day weekend. No wonder all the hotels were so expensive. Duh. It's gonna be packed, I bet. Oh well, too late to make any changes now.

The doctor's appointment I had turned out to be a dud. I spent about an hour waiting to see the doctor, then when she finally came in she looked at my info, told me she couldn't prescribe the medications I'm currently on and gave me the name of another doctor to see. Fortunately they didn't charge me for the visit.

Yesterday I finally made an appointment to see this other doctor and I now have an appointment for June 3rd. I waited a while because I wasn't sure exactly what to say on the phone when I called to make the appointment. I wanted to somehow make sure I wouldn't be wasting my time like with the first doctor, so when I called I asked if he would be able to prescribe the medications I'm taking now. They said they couldn't tell me that before I even told them what I was taking, so still not sure how that part will go. I do know, however, that he treats fibromyalgia patients, so that's a good thing. That's why the first doctor gave me his name. The not so good thing is that he's a man. I'd really rather see a woman, but I guess I'll give this guy a shot. I had to call my old doctor's office in NC to get my records sent to this new place, so hopefully there won't be any glitches with that.

We've been having some really hot weather here the past few days. Friday was when it first got really hot, so B tried to turn our AC on for the first time and unfortunately it didn't work. B tried everything he could think of to get it going, but with no luck, so then we were stuck with no AC for the weekend and we were boiling. Yesterday morning B started making phone calls and he first called the company we have our home warranty with. They said they would call a repair place for us and that someone from the repair place would call us within 3 hours to tell us when they'd be coming out, but 3 hours went by and nothing. To make a long story short, it seems everyone in town turned their AC on for the first time this past weekend and the repair places were booked, so B ended up calling around himself, trying to find someone who could come out ASAP. While he was on the phone with one place, B explained the things that he'd tried already and they told him to try pulling this handle out and turning it upside down, and thank goodness that worked. Apparently this is a common thing they do on new homes so the AC won't have any chance of coming on until somebody wants it on. So that was around 2:00 or 3:00 yesterday that we finally got the AC going. It had gotten up to almost 90 in the house. It's true what they say about dry heat, though, because I wouldn't have guessed it was that hot in here. Still, it's much nicer now with the AC on. We have it set at 82 and that's pretty comfortable for us, though it's hotter in my computer room because I still don't have a blind for my window.
