I HAVE AIR CONDITIONING!!!

A friend found a good deal on a portable unit at BJ's Discount Club and let me use her membership to purchase it. Eventually I'll have to replace the wall unit but right now this is a better fit for my budget. So naturally, the temps were cooler last week; so much so that Goof  abandoned the cool tile floor of the dark bathroom to go back to his ottoman under the sunny living room window. I also got a lot of reading done last week despite being back at work.

So, last week I was on vacation, or more accurately, staycation. I was productive but also relaxed and read. The a/c saga continues. The repair guy showed up, looked at it, didn't even touch it, and said, "We don't work on these units." Sigh. Apparently, no one likes to work on wall units. I was pissed, especially as I'd SAID it was a wall unit when I made the appointment. It doesn't help that the unit is at least 12 years old. So, since replacing it is not in the budget, I'm looking at cheap window units.

Friday we celebrated Independence Day here in the US. I celebrated with some friends and got a three day weekend out of the holiday plus I'm on vacation this week. My plans - doctor appointments, job hunting, one job interview so far, and an appointment to get my a/c looked at it. Not exciting, but I should get a lot done. I also have ambitious reading plans.

Last week was better I'm happy to say. Still no A/C or new job but a nice week nonetheless. Friday night, I went out for dinner with several friends for our annual joint birthday celebration. I'm in April and they're both in June so we usually celebrate in the summer. One friend gave me a plate I had admired at a store we were browsing in earlier in the day (she was quite sneaky and managed to buy it without my seeing). It's part of a set and I want the whole set. Yes, I'm a word nerd. :P

Second week of the asthma flare which has been kicking my butt big time, still no luck in the job hunt, and my A/C is on the fritz. I've had worse weeks but I've had better ones too. I put myself on a ban for Kindle freebies and I'm trying to limit review requests and acceptances. I need to whittle down my TBR piles. Avoiding the library might help too. :D

The week was going well until my asthma flared. Recovery, as always, is slow. I added a few books to my TBR pile and my wishlist grew. :D I did put in a request for a book due out in the fall that I am excited about. The editor said yes and I was bouncing off the walls. I won't receive my copy for a while but the precious will be mine, oh yes it will. :D

Job hunting is depressing. Other than that, it was another quiet week, apart from a brief bout with the stomach bug, with some good reading time.

Weather-wise, it felt more like March than the end of May; life-wise, it was quiet. I like quiet. :D I got a lot of reading done, which makes me happy, and I enjoyed having Monday off for Memorial Day. One happy thing that happened, I was invited to become a reviewer at Romance at Random. I've done some guest reviews there in the past but now I'll be a regular reviewer. My first review will be up in July.

It was a quiet week but even so I'm ready for the three day weekend. Lots of reading, writing, and editing, dinner with a friend, and just hanging in the sun. What are you up to?
