The a/c quit working again on Tuesday, September 23rd. I turned it off for awhile and had fans running throughout the house. Ceiling fans in the living room, dining room, kitchen, our bedroom, and the office. Smaller fans in Kelly's room, the living room, and our bedroom. A tall fan at the end of the hall blowing down the hall. I turned the a/c back on that evening and it kept the house cool during the night.
Our a/c would work for about 10-12 hours a day, so I'd turn it on around 2:00 PM and turn it off around 1:00 or 2:00 AM. Thankfully, it wasn't too warm outside and the fans kept the house comfortable.
A repair guy/HVAC guy came on September 29th and Charlie and I decided to get a new system. On that day, our a/c was only cooling the house for about 6-8 hours a day.
On Wednesday, October 1st, our new a/c system was put in.

As I've said in the past, we have African ancestry on my mom's side (I've found records for them in eastern NC), but it only shows up in my mom's oldest sister Wanda's DNA. So I check her results every time there's an update so that I can know where they were from. The last update said 1% Nigeria. That hasn't changed.
