Today is holy Thursday. That is my favorite day of the church year! I have gone to so many holy Thursday masses and I have cried at pretty much every one. I finally remember when Mr. Flint washed my feet in my religion class! Surprisingly,I got something new out of father Mike’s homily today.
But, there was another reason that I was looking forward to holy Thursday because I finally was able to get my air-conditioning fixed today!!!
I have awakened all week to an alarm. It’s definitely wreaking havoc on me and I have to wake up to an alarm tomorrow as well, a really early alarm! I have a doctors appointment at 10:45 in the morning. It is so hard to get up and out of the house! But we are doing it and I am determined! I will totally crash this weekend!
Rob got here about 11 today with an assistant named Randy and they left at about 1:30. At about one, he told my Mom to turn the AC on to 60°. He worked a little while longer and I was sitting in the living room, eating my lunch and my nose got cold!?!
He also told my Mom that it was going to be 75° on Monday so it looks like we got it fixed in the nick of time!!! my AC died in the summer of 2016 and my brother got me two window air conditioners for both my bedroom and Sean’s bedroom.
I thought that I would be able to get it fixed before now but it’s all about deferred gratification! A professor told me about that in one of my classes and he said that all of us ‘college kids’ have ‘deferred gratification’ because all our friends are getting what they want now and we are getting an education. Or something like that. It was a long time ago!
I was excited that the appointment was set for my AC! I thought that I would shed one single prideful tear down one cheek. It’s always my right cheek when that happens. But let me tell you what happened when I heard that power tool.
The tears began welling in my eyes immediately and streaming down my cheeks! I put my hands in my sweatshirt arms, and pressed the heels of my hands to my eyes to stop crying. My shoulders were shaking and. everything! I really can’t believe that I ‘ugly cried,’ but this deferred gratification feels SO good!!!
