Is it Sunday again?

This Sunday-day seems exactly like last week's Sunday.  My husband's ankle is still propped up on pillows.... the bed has been bedspread-less for two weeks now.... the haunted air-conditioning system is still up in the attic space.... the third floor is still just a third floor and not yet a library.

The amethyst and chartreuse colors that bloomed on my husband's ankle last week have faded a little bit..... now his ankle looks more like lavender and honey, with just a touch of sage around the edges. (All of that sounds so much nicer than purple, yellow, and green, don't you think?)   

The haunted air-conditioner is still up in the attic, working along with Gomer's (the a/c guy) 'loaner unit' out in the yard.  The second floor is very cool and comfortable, but that loaner system is just that--- a loaner, reconditioned to work for a short while until the new system can be installed.  Between Gomer's overly-busy summer work schedule, and my husband's pulled calf muscle that has displaced all decision-making, I'm hoping the loaner-thing is as strong as an ox.

We haven't heard from the carpenters who were working up on the third floor. (I refuse to call it a library until I can start carrying my books up there.)  My husband had called the workmen to let them know we had decided to put carpeting up there instead of the wood flooring..... we asked them to come back and finish the trim work on the window seats so the carpeting could be installed.  No response from them, and we didn't try again because that's when the haunted air-conditioner started to give us problems (Gomer swears that unit is inhabited by a poltergeist).  Better to get the new air-conditioning system installed up there in the attic space first, before the carpenters finish up the trim work and the window seats.  And before new carpeting was installed.  It sounded like a good plan at the time.   I have a feeling that by the time the new a/c system is installed, and by the time we get the carpenters back here, we will need to be turning on the heat, not the air-conditioning.
