This was my weekend
Sep. 6th, 2011 03:40 pmSaturday morning around 5AM, I woke up to a high pitched whine. Checked the ears first, no it's not the tinnitus. I determined that the sound was coming from the AC, so I turned that off. Whine not only is still whining, but is louder now that the AC is not making noise.
Then I remembered that I had put a water alarm in the space under the AC. I open that up and grab it, yep, there's water under there. And the alarm has gone from high-pitched to piercing. (Note that I heard it over the AC, through a door and two rooms away, in my sleep!) I dry the contacts off enough to turn the sound off, then go back to sleep.
After we have breakfast, Bob and I drained the tub that we have in that space to catch drips. This can be a bit of a comedy routine, as Bob doesn't remember how to run the drill pump and it takes a couple of false starts to convince him I'm right, then another couple of false starts before we get it going. Meanwhile, I'm laying flat on the tile floor trying to keep the intake hose under water while he checks everything. But we got it drained, wipe our forehead in relief, and go back to our normal futzing around.
Then, Saturday night I got food poisoning. Really, really bad food poisoning. Fortunately, I have some medicine which stops the, errrr, top half of the resulting problem. Although I don't think the first dose stayed down long enough to help. When Bob got home, he helped me get a second dose and get together enough to get in bed. Which is a good thing, since the medicine not only stops nausea, it puts me out like a light.
I slept till noon Sunday, when Mom called, then slept till two, and got up just on principle. Bob got home around 3 PM (he had morning shift) and when he went to take a nap (which he usually does when he works morning shift), I went with him. And slept another 3-4 hours. I did manage to eat an egg and some oatmeal for supper, then went to bed and zonked again.
Yesterday, I worked from home. I was feeling better, but then I found that the AC was still draining into the house, but not into the tub like it was supposed to. *sigh* We did some more stuff to make it drain, and the rest of the day I put towels into the area to soak up the water, then switched them out for more towels when the previous ones got soaked. In between pretending to actually be working.
I need a week off.
