Prisoners

For four days (only two of which we were actually at home, thankfully) we felt like prisoners in our own home. And also like idiots. For some reason, we could not figure out how to work our thermostat all of a sudden. 

Despite the temp being set at 72, the house remained in the 80s and the air would not kick in. We tried reprogramming it, overriding it, and resetting it. Both nights we went to bed with our house in the 80s. It was like indoor camping. Except waking up sweaty in your house is worse than if you were actually camping. 

Thank God Jeffrey had an epiphany and remembered that he had taken a pin out of the air filter holder that prevented the air from running. Once that was back in, the cold air starting blowing. At least we aren't so dumb that we can't figure out how to work a thermostat. I think. 

Meanwhile, we will keep hoping that our a/c does die this year so we get a new one via the home warranty. :)

Adventures in home ownership continue...
