My Dad was watching the kids for a couple of minutes so I could run some errands, and I went to the market to buy bread, milk, and butter.
I went to the bakery area to get fresh bagels and rolls.
I went to the dry cleaner to clean up my husband’s suits. He was out of town on business and not due back until Tuesday. It’s nice to have my Dad to help out when he is not home. He does not have to travel frequently, but every other week he goes away for 10 or 14 hours at a time. I did not expect to get a phone call from my Dad while I was out shopping. I answered the phone and my Dad sounded infuriated. He told me that the house was getting hotter and he believed that the air conditioning was not working correctly. I told my Dad that I was going to be home in less than a minute and he told me to hurry. When I got home, I checked the thermostat and the breaker. I checked the air filter and the evaporator coils too! There was absolutely nothing I could do to remedy the problem, so I contacted the repair service. I hoped they would be able to give me some fantastic news, but they were convinced that the AC unit could not be repaired this time around. After 11 years, it was time to replace the air compressor and evaporator coils. I was not prepared to make such a big decision without my fiance. It was going to cost thousands of dollars to make the replacement and I did not want to agree until I had an opportunity to discuss it with my partner.
