A totally eventful day!
In order of awesomeness;
1. Mark's graduation test teacher lady called this morning around 11am to tell me that Mark had totally passed his test, so he WILL be graduating with his class, full cap and gown, the whole shebang!
W00t!
I am so so proud of him!
The only sucky hing is that if he wants to march with his class, is that he has to go to school every single day from now until the end of the year, even though he does nothing all day long but sleep, play on the computers or read books.
There's nothing for him to do education wise, he's done, he graduated early, so he gets to slack off all day long.
Which is fine, he decided that he wants to macrh, be in cap and gown, so he's going to sign the form to graduate with his class, and that way I'll have pictures of him graduating.
2. My friend Dustin and I went to Amscot and took care of the card switch over stuff.
I turned in my old card, got a new temporary card, a new direct deposit form to give to SSDI, (need to call them in the morning) and my new card will be here in 7-10 business days.
They let us choose our design this time from 4 designs, 1 being all black, so that's the one I chose.
Ha!
3. Dustin then took me to both Walmart and Home Depot to find the best deal on the right sized AC for the hole in the wall + the room size, finding it at Home Depot.
It wasn't too horrible of price, it came to $359.63, we brought it home and it perfectly fit the hole already in the wall, it was installed in less than 10minutes after taking out the busted piece of crap, and it is now getting all nice and chilly in here.
Ah, blessed AC!
The next thing I am going to do is to get 1 of those cages or fences, whatever they are called, and either get Dustin or someone else to do the fence installation around the AC so some punk doesn't bust my AC again.
It is so nice to be sitting here not sweating my ass off, you have no idea.
Today was so hot, it was just absolutely miserable.
I took about 5 showers just trying to cool myself off, but it was for nothing really.
5 minutes after stepping out, all sweaty again.
Blech!
So there we go, my totally awesome, eventful and great day!

SO glad you got a new AC! I can't imagine how dreadful the heat must be down there once late spring hits.

So glad for all of the good things that happened for you yesterday! I know Mark is going to be bored the rest of the year, but you all are going to be so proud to see him march in his cap and gown! He's an amazing young man who was raised by an even more amazing mom!
And WHOOOHOOOO on being cold again! I still can't believe someone did what they did to your A/C, that's so crappy!

I am so happy that you got your air conditioner, I was worried about you with all that heat.

I am so happy that the AC ordeal is taken care of. Wish we could've helped more.
Mark is going to look great in his cap and gown. Have you already ordered it?
