AC hates me

So I haven't been posting in a while and I've been supremely miserable. My AC finally crapped out on me and I'm not happy. I got my house at the end of March and it was working fine (not that we really needed it then) and I didn't really start moving in until about a week into April. Things were fine, we knew the heater was working and we suffered through finding mold in the furnace (not fun!) and everything was ok for a while up until it started getting hot. Seriously, you would think it would be a bit milder, but no- we had actual heat. And it was all driving me nuts- excess heat and humidity are not my friends. So I've been trying to get my warrenty company to come out and fix this problem, but unfortunatley for me my paperwork was turned in late and my policy didn't start until mid-may. WTF?! They seriously would not come out and help and I didn't get straigth answers until I told one person that this was unacceptable- I fixed my first problem and now I have a new one, you need to come out and fix this please! So now I have to wait until after tomorrow. And even then it may be a few more days after that if they can fix it at all.

Mom wasn't kidding when she meantioned the first year being a pain in the butt!

Oh my

So this past thursday was my baby sister's final concert. It's hard to believe that she's all grown up and ready to graduate. One of the ironic things (mainly because I remembered this) was that she performed the song "Sisters". I sang that song for final concert at the end of my freshman year before we ended up at her current school. It was cute though. Best part was that our grandparents were there to see that. So I spent the last couple of days hanging around with them. But this past weekend- I spent doing yard work on top of everything else.

A family friend came out to help top some of the trees that were overhanging my roof. As that was going on their daughter was helping me move them back and making a sort of "fort" with the fallen branches. It was cute. Cleaning that stuff up sucked though- I was fairly sore later.
I would try mowing the lawn today but the grass is wet and they are calling for storms all week.

And this morning my parents took one of their dogs to the vet because she had an open sore on her face from a blown nerve. I feel so bad for that dog! This is the second time that it has happened to her. Hopefully, today's surgery should take care of that.

So since moving out, I really haven't had a free weekend to myself. Last week (my first full week) was spent returning home for mother's day weekend to help out around the house. And this week was spent pretty much demoing my trees so they wouldn't destroy my roof in a storm. Maybe I should have taken my grandparents up on getting some wine coolers this weekend.
