Once home from petrol and coming into the back yard, I could see Toby was after something by the back porch.  He had SOMETHING in his mouth.  I told him to DROP IT, which he did, as I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a cat, which he has been known to maul.  It was a possum!  Rather than go into shock, it went right into the same gappage where Essie went into the crawlspace.  OH GODSDAMNIT!  I hope this doesn’t create a problem.

OMGs, this has been a day from the christian hell!
The Lowe’s installer showed up, only to tell me I was sold an A/C I can’t use because it’s 220v.  I didn’t even think about that possibility.  At least he got my A/C working.  He told me not to put the A/C on energy saver because the compressor is weak, which is why it’s been shutting off.  I went back out to Lowe’s to discover they don’t have anything I can use.  Besides, the associate was an ass.  I just got my money back in cash, then went to the bank to deposit it.  Now I fucking have to go to work…ARGH!
<> 
Nothing from My Love My Fiancée all day.  I hope all is well.

2 ½ hours late into work due to the A/C issues, decided to only stay for 8hrs. Stayed on the shaper table all night.

Contractor visit went well.  The cost of the room addition is as much as my whole house is worth.  It’s a necessary expense.  Our respective rough sketches were pretty much identical.  With My Fiancée offer from her inheritance and my law suit from the accident, my goal is to knock it down to $30,000-isch.  Rightly or wrongly, I told him I wanted to work with HIM, and that I wasn’t going to go look for other bids.

Now that sure as Hela was scary.  My wind a/c shut off.  I went scrambling for the fuse box.  I did a reset on the system.  I went ISO warranty information and actually tried to make a warranty call to no avail.  I made adjustments on fan figuring cool air was going to be a while.  I reset the system a third time and it took off.  When the compressor kicked in…OMGs what a relief!
