Today, Sunday, it even stayed coolish during the heat of the day since the house is under a canopy of oak and pine trees. I have to laugh, I have such a comfy life that this feels like a camping adventure to me, having no a\/c. Yes, we&#8217;re really roughing it over here. \u00a0Fingers crossed, we&#8217;ll see what I attract! \u00a0So far, Donna with \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/americanairandheat.net\">American Air and Heat<\/a>, who did the original installation, has been awesome with me by phone from a customer service point of view, letting me know exactly when someone can come out and answering my myriad of questions. \u00a0I feel I&#8217;m in good hands. \u00a0Fingers crossed, I&#8217;m thinking a\/c by 10:00am Monday and an invoice that pleases me. \u00a0Today was, start to finish, a wonderfully satisfying and pleasant day. \u00a0Good food, good company, good music, good work. \u00a0I live in Paradise and I love my life.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE:\u00a0 They had to replace the blower and module, to the tune of $1109.\u00a0 I love it when the Universe makes me stretch my boundaries to allow more good to come in!<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/my-ac-is-off-for-the-weekend\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=My a\/c is off for the weekend&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/my-ac-is-off-for-the-weekend\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/my-ac-is-off-for-the-weekend\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/my-ac-is-off-for-the-weekend\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=My%20a\/c%20is%20off%20for%20the%20weekend&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/my-ac-is-off-for-the-weekend\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At noon Saturday, I wrote on Facebook: \u00a0&#8220;Hmmm, the fan on my central a\/c seems to have stopped working. \u00a0At 77 degrees, it&#8217;s cool enough in here without it for right now.
