Finally got air-conditioning done at home after days of should we or shouldn't we. All the tales of (electricity woes) read in the newspapers added to my guilt. So I was left pondering the question, if we lose power..........am i indirectly/directly responsible for the power crisis in the state.
Deciding between a split ac or a window was another question i didn't need to have to answer. The estimates given by fabricators for work to be done to get the damn thing fitted had me wondering...why...why do i have to decide these things.
Luckily answers were closer to hand & easily obtained, my brother's friend who is an electrician was consulted by me. Of course he came up with all the answers. Split ac has live wire covered with insulation (cats could scratch & get zapped) so window ac it was......phew that was so simple.
So decisions made, ppl contacted.......work done over the weekend. We had nice chilly bedroom to sleep in by Sunday evening. Felt that was so simple, decision making should be easier to do.
Cats were all most suspicious, as they are not used to closed doors. So having the bedroom door closed all of a sudden was viewed very suspiciously by all of them, the ac was also inspected very closely.
The only cat who is bold enough is Tangy. He ensures that he is in the bedroom before the door is shut, makes me open it for him at least twice every night (for him to have a midnight snack or two) ensures the door is opened in case he is left outside by howling outside the door. Loud enough wails that I race to open the door a few inches & he jumps into the room.
Yesterday I was at home & decided it was cool enough not to use the ac in the afternoon, what do i get..........accusatory looks from Tangy. Apparently Mr.Cool Cat wanted cool air during his afternoon nap, looks of great longing were flung at the ac, I almost succumbed......almost.
Resolution for the week (& going ahead):
Do not fall for pining looks from cats, they are all very manipulative. Learn to say NO !!

And the eternal q, who are more manipulative? Pets, or Kids?? you've gotta have them both to get the answer I guess.
You are so right shruti, someday i might just get my answer :)
But the thought of having them both at the same time.......kinda scary...how manipulated will i be then?...i wonder...will i say NO
