September turned out to be a hot month for Caring Palms. Unfortunately, this was not due to a huge amount of sessions but high temperatures and a failure of the air conditioning system.
The A/C systems in building are water cooled, and on the 14th, the water pump went out. It took two days for the pump to be replaced with a new one and another day to fix it after it broke. While the people in the other offices can work on their computers (using fans to keep cool), massage can not be done in temps around 87 degrees or higher. I spent three days with the doors shut (which did not help business at all).
But this story gets better. When things finally got fixed, the A/C unit that cools the Zen treatment room died and had to be replaced. That unit got installed on the 25th. Two days later the unit that cools the rest of the office stopped working and got repaired in the 29th. Yes, it has been a warm and interesting month.
Everything seems to be working now, and with luck, it will continue to do so. Hopefully, with things working, this should not have to happen again anytime soon.
