Filed under woe is me:

Friday found the air conditioner not working, much to our puzzlement. The usual suspects didn't pan out, so an emergency call was made to the technician.

Who appeared on Saturday, to be as befuddled as we were. Who called his electrician.

Who is returning tomorrow morning, to perform some expensive repairs. Do you know I have aluminum wiring? I was only getting 20 volts to my a/c, when I needed something like 180.

Later, when trying to make up for losing an entire day to repair folk, I was frantically raking out the front bed when I disturbed a swam of yellow jackets.

I have never run so fast in my life.

Once in the arm pit, once on the hand, once in the back of the leg.

Sigh.
