The
service team came on Wednesday and remained for a good part of the day. They came on Thursday but did not stay as
long. An electrician came on Friday and added
electric tape to chewed area - Roland could have done that - and there wouldn't
be a bill . . .
Jenna and I went to the laundry mat
yesterday. I knew I'd need to do
laundry before Wednesday but have a commitment to the library on Monday and as
Tuesday is a holiday and the laundry mat may be closed, I decided it needed to
be done yesterday.
Roland stayed to water plants and
other gardening. We gave Jenna a choice
and she went to do laundry with me. I'm
happy that she made that choice as I had forgotten the detergent, and later
realized I did not have enough change in quarters and so went across the street
and wrote a check for twenty dollars over my canned good purchase (I had felt
obligated to purchase something.
Jenna is a great folder. She really was a tremendous help. After we returned home, she to Roseburg with
Roland. I put clothes away and made our
bed without the extra blanket. Neither
Roland nor I have slept well because it's been hotter in the house than it has
been outside - even he has had the covers off from time to time.
Roland had opened the front door and had
the fan going into the house and another sending cool air into the hall - which
was fine for about an hour after we returned.
At 5:00, it started to get to warm.
Roland had already blocked the back room - if you would call it
that. I don't think it's large enough to
define as a room. More like entry-way
space really.
We decided to try the air
conditioner. Two seconds after I shut
the front door (literally) there came a knock.
How could anyone possibly be that close to the door and I had not seen
him? He had come to take another
reading. He said the area had dried in
the back and removed the fans and other device that been hooked up for the last
four days. He'll be back tonight to recheck
Jenna's room and hopefully will be able to take away as well.
She still won't be able to move in
right away. I don't think she realizes
that drying out the moisture is only one step in the process. She's expecting that they'll have her boxes
(boxed up room) returned the minute the fans are pulled out from her room. They won't be. The hole in the wall still needs to be
repaired.
I'd love it if Jenna would be
responsible enough to go through each box item by item and discard what she
doesn't need. I could do homework while
she is going through boxes.
Realistically I will have to go through them with her - reminding her
the less items she keeps, the easier it will be to maintain her room.
After two nights of sweating and not
sleeping, I slept with the air conditioner on last night and the switch hadn't
tripped! I had forgotten I had moved the
extra blanket. Roland said that he had
been cold last night. He probably didn't
sleep as well as I.
I have to prepare a lesson to teach
the CTRs. I was teach teaming with
Valiants, but the CTR teacher is out of town currently - and so are half the
primary children. I've started many a
post of my position in primary but have not completed - there are actually many
thoughts in the works that never get posted.
Somehow they no longer seem important enough to post.
