it's AC installation day

The air conditioner saga continues! *Hopefully* today is the day that the 'vintage' through-the-wall AC unit is safely removed, and replaced with a newer (quieter, please, I really hope!) unit. I have been encouraging the rational part of my brain to remember that this will be an interesting and valuable new experience; that these are professionals; that I was the one who wanted this to happen in the first place.

The less-rational part of my brain has been shrieking at me all morning, because there are going to be STRANGERS! IN MY SPACE! Even worse, there is going to be a HOLE IN THE WALL OF MY SPACE! I do understand conceptually that there is already a hole in the wall, and that they will simply be swapping the thing that goes there, but part of me is definitely yelling 'You're BREAKING my HOUSE!' in the background.

[ETA post-installation: Thank you for your good wishes! I can't really say it went well, but it did go, and I'd say there's a better than 50% chance that the new situation is an improvement over the last one.]

Much empathy,


I find having tradies in my space very stressful to begin with, even long before COVID existed,

and COVID adds an extra dimension of stress
