When
I looked at the Clock this morning I was surprised to see it
was nearly 9:00. The other surprising thing was that we both had the
covers pulled up to our necks and were shivering from being cold. As
soon as the Balcony Blinds were opened and I could see the
Thermometer on the far wall reading 59 F (15 C)
I immediately shut the Air Conditioner. Even with it off the
Compressor continued to try to run so I had to pull the Plug
from the wall.
When
Kathy came out to join me for breakfast there was no mistaking that
she was also cold because she was wearing her Robe and she was
still shivering. With the Temperature forecasted to rise later
in the day but I didn’t open the Door to warm the Apartment
up instead I let our body heat warm us.
With
nothing planned for the day we spent most of the morning on the
Computers, drinking our Hot Drinks and doing our
morning Chores.
Around
12:30 I started modifying a Romaine Salad by adding Finely
Chopped Bacon, Celery, Ham, Onion and
Peppers. It was then lightly doused with Raspberry
Vinaigrette tossed in a bowl then equally served before being
covered with Shredded Cheddar Cheese. Kathy had been busy
making our dessert plates with the Leftover Pumpkin Pie, half
a Pear and half an Orange each. We didn’t sit to have
lunch until after 1:00 and by the time we left were well filled by
our tasty meal.
It
was still cool inside so we didn’t worry about the AC while
we drank our Tea. Minutes later we received a call from the
Building Handyman to see if he could come to check out a
problem I reported the last week.
Twenty
Minutes later Joel showed up wearing a Mask like as we
were also doing. After a quick check he noted it was an original
fixture when the building was built Sixty Years ago and will
have to be replaced. After he picks up the replacement he’ll give
us a call to finish the job.
Having
filled ourselves on lunch we didn’t worry about eating supper until
after we watched the 6 o’clock Local News.
Parts of Ontario are being pushed
back to Phase 1 as the Coronavirus
Numbers are suddenly rising again. Luckily our area is
still in Phase 2.
Kathy
made us Open Faced Pulled Pork Sandwiches using the
prepackaged meat from Lou’s Kitchen
for supper then served us each a small bowl of Chapman’s
Dutch Chocolate Frozen Yogurt for dessert.
It
wasn’t until after Kathy took her shower that she said it was
starting to feel
warm in
the Apartment.
(Kathy gets hot with cold showers.) As soon as I plugged in the Air
Conditioner
the Compressor
started even
before
I turned the Unit
on. Hopefully we won’t get cold tonight. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

I am a little confused guys...I thought the A/C unit was new...yet you mention it has been there for 60 years?
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of places are having to go back to Phase 1. I just wish we had national leadership to help us navigate through these trying times as you have in Canada.
Here is hoping you do not freeze tonight!
That a/c is certainly something else :) Has a mind of its own. Salad looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteGosh, lunch looks yummy!!!
