RANT (not ch)

What kind of week was it? Well, after the water softener crapped last month followed by the washing machine, I figgured it couldn't get much worse.
But fate does have a perverse sense of humor. Last Wednesday, during a really nasty thunderstorm, our airconditioner got fried. "No big deal." you say. Try surviving summer in south Florida without A/C. It also took out the main breaker which required an electrician's services ($166.85). We did get the A/C guy out the same day and he verified the unit was shot and read us the options, none of which were pretty. So we ended up replaccing the errant unit with a Trane ($2326.70). But it's only money and I thought we'd be all set once we got over that bump but come Friday, Judy, probably aggravaited by the heat, could not catch her breath. So it was off to the ER (daughter took her, I had to wait for the A/C guy), diagnosis; pneumonia.
So it now looks like she will not be able to make it to Nashcon and she was so looking forward to it. I'm still coming (she insists) and may bring my daughter or son if she is not up to the trip. Sheesh.

GOOD LUCK to you from now on......maybe you'll win the lottery to make up for it ?

She's got a habit of quitting breathing  Be sure to tell her that she CAN'T have a headache with it.....(sorry had to throw that one in).
Give Judy a big hug for me and tell her to get well quick. Also that I'm gonna talk about her at convention.
Love you both BD

Hope Judy is doing better by the week's end. Take good care Kip.
My house pulled that "replace several big ticket items all at once without warning BS" too one time. With no air in summer you make fast decisions  And with no water and washing too, tips from the Flintstones don't work that well.
Get well Judy

Aww damn, Kip! I'm really sorry to hear about all this!! I hope that Judy is back to feeling better soon!! I'm sure the humid Florida air without a/c probably didn't help things for her!
On the plus side of this, hopefully you will look back some time from now and laugh at how rediculous life is when it all hits the fan at once! Last October I had one week where I got a kidney infection, missed a day of work without pay, got into a car accident, got a speeding ticket, and something else all at once. Now when I look back, I kind of laugh that all that happened to one person at one time!
Hang in there! We're rooting for you!!
Hugz,
Lizzie

Hey Kip,
Looks like you got a run of upside down luck. I hope your wife Judy gets better real quick, and maybe she'll be able to go with you to Nashville. And I can vouch for the Trane A/C. We replaced our entire heating and cooling system about a year and a half ago. We got a Trane, and it works like a dream. Gotta have A/C in the summer time.
here's to better times...

Sorry about the shitty run of luck. All my thoughts to your wife and of course the ailinig AC. Shit. I'd kill myself if I had to go without it even up here.
Here's hoping.
