I haven't been feeling well since Friday. Still I went to the gym this morning. It helped me relax. I decided to use my McDonald's coupon to get their Southern Chicken Sandwich for free. I think the last time I ate there was with CH on our trip to Portland. That was like, 5 - 6 years ago. The place didn't get very busy 'til I sat down with my food. The sandwich was very simple, a fried chicken patty with 3 pieces of pickle between buns, that was it. The flavor was mild, I thought it was fine. I did pay for my 42 oz. drink. I filled it with Hi-C and diet lemonade. Tangy, just what I needed. Of course I refilled it again when I left :) My body still wasn't 100%, so I went home, showered, and took a nap.
Dave and Jose came over around 5 to redo the AC installation. They were so nice to me. Besides the stuff to put it all together, they also bought a brand new shade for my deck. Jose and I hung it and the effect was immediate. It blocked the sun directly went into my bedroom and helped cool down a bit. In the meantime Dave was working very hard to replace all my outlets inside from 2 prong to 3 prong. He even cut himself doing it :( There were a lot of areas like under my bed and behind the shelf that I didn't clean regularly and they looked super disgusting after we moved my furniture around, so I quickly vacuumed them after Dave finished updating the outlets. Finally Dave used this clay thing he got from the hardware store to fill in the gap between the installation boards and window frame. It worked nicely. He then realigned the AC and the hose to make the whole thing tighter and neater. Jose again provided useful and helpful input from the side. I'm truly lucky to have them in my life!
The fit for the AC looked better now and worked very well. Dave even readjusted it and tried to maximize the performance. There was still a few things left to do, but right now it's great.
Three of us then went to Jim's Famous Burger for dinner. The burger was OK, but the onion rings were a letdown. The batter was too thick and too hard. We were disappointed.
I am feeling a little better now. I hope tomorrow I'll be back to full self.
