July 5, 2010 Monday Morning

Friday night we stayed home and watched TV. It is very hot and humid in Milwaukee.

Saturday morning I got up and after doing the morning routine I began again to get ready for the new washing machine and refrigerator to be delivered. Took a few doors and molding off to make them fit through the doorways. They were delivered around noon and made it into the house just fine after we took off a couple doors and some moldings. Spent the afternoon connecting the washing machine and water to the refrigerator for the ice maker and such. Saturday night we pulled the bikes out of the basement and rode them to a local park overlooking Milwaukee so we could watch the Fireworks from the lake front. We have not rode our bikes in years and could feel the pain as we rode them. The fireworks lasted about an hour. Great fireworks display. Tony and I need to get out on our bikes more often because we were both in pain after getting home from being so out of shape. Very hot and humid again today, in the 90s.

Around 4 AM Sunday morning I got out of bed and after going to the bathroom thought I would check on the new refrigerator. Good thing I did because as I entered the kitchen I could see the floor flooded with water. FLOODED. Water everywhere. Tony did not connect the water correctly and it came loose from the refrigerator. Water was dripping from the ceiling in the basement because so much water had escaped. Big mess. It was like a water fall into the basement so much water had escaped. Cleaned up the mess and stopped the water flow. Set up fans to help dry the basement and kitchen floor. I was so glad I got up and checked or another couple hours of water would have been a bigger disaster. Spent the early morning continuing to clean the water disaster before going to a car show early because of the heat in the afternoon. It was so hot and humid at the car show after about 15 minutes I told Tony I would be in the car with the air conditioning, but he should continue to look at the cars. About an hour later he came to the car dripping wet from the heat. Ended up going home to the nice cool air conditioned house. The middle of the afternoon I drove to the grocery store and did a little grocery shopping. Spent the rest of the afternoon taking a nap with Tony and the dogs since we were both so tired from getting up at 4 AM to clean up the water damage. Did a few loads of laundry to test the new washing machine. Seems to be working fine. The refrigerator on the other hand just doesn't seem to want to get below 40 degrees. Hopefully that will change the longer it runs. Ended up making ribs, potatoes and corn on the cob for dinner, along with a side salad. Spent the night watching TV and movies. Watched the movie Mr and Mrs Smith staring Brad Pit. It was entertaining. Went to bed around 10:30 PM and rolled around not being able to sleep until I took a sleeping pill around midnight.

This morning Tony left for work around 8 AM. No day off for him today. I have to get showered and take Kali to the vet this morning at 11 AM to have her toe nails trimmed and a check up. She has scabs on her hair from Bo licking her so much. She will most likely need an antibiotic since this has happened in the past and that is what the vet suggested. Will most likely take a long nap this afternoon because it is again so hot and humid in Milwaukee today. I can not stand the heat. The local park has their fireworks tonight and we will most likely have a few people over to the house to watch them since we can see them perfectly from the back porch. Tomorrow I have another dental appointment to have two teeth fixed.
