The Price of Coolness
On Friday, our functioning but old air conditioner took its last breath, knocking out main breaker power to our house along the way. Panic briefly ensued, but rational heads prevailed. On Saturday, we had a brand new air conditioner and the house and family was no worse for the wear. However the bank account had taken some damage.
On Friday, we had plans to spend the weekend in Michigan, going to amusement parks and beaches. On Saturday our plans had changed to stay home and fit the trip in sometime later in the summer.
We usually keep the doors and windows closed year round due to my family’s issues with seasonal allergies. So air conditioning is a greater need for us than it is for more people.
About the trip: the kids are disappointed, but not as much as my wife. I’m ok with postponing it, as my schedule is crazy enough this week.
