Memo

kk, AC unit has been tuned up.  This is a weight off my mind.  They replaced one important part (capacitor?) that they said was about to go out this Summer if I recall correctly.  This is another item to check off on my home improvement list.

Starting last night and this morning I am trying to regularly and prayerfully read my Bible.  I will try to write more about this important development later.

  • Exterminator stopped by to spray for carpenter bees
  • Stopped by work to briefly visit
  • Visited the Home Depot to research upgrading my kitchen
  • Visited the bank to get some information
  • Bought dental flossers at Walmart
  • Bought groceries at Sam's
