I know, it’s summer, it’s supposed to be hot right? This, however, is RIDICULOUS.
Take this weekend for instance. Starting on Friday, the temps soared well above 100 degrees. Saturday was 104, Sunday clocked in at 105. So far, today’s high has been 106. If we get to 110 I’m giving up and moving into the freezer and the hell with the massive amounts of frozen foods I’ve managed to hoard in there. Sure, it might kill me but I’ll be beautifully preserved…and not stinky.
I’m dying here.
To top it off, after last weeks fiasco with the guest room ceiling falling in, this week, the AC in my office went out. I get ready for the day in my office for a couple of reasons. First, it allows me to be near my computer in case some “advertising emergency” should arise. (Stop laughing, it happens often , sometimes, every once in a blue moon.) Secondly, I can lock myself in and pretend like I don’t have two children who seem intent on killing eachother before school resumes in EXACTLY 21 days. (To be more precise…504 hours/30,240 minutes/1,814,400 seconds….take your pick, but who’s counting?)
Anyway, I started noticing I was sweating pretty profusely and since I’m not quite due for hot flashes just yet, I went to check out the thermostat. Holy Hot Flash…it was 85 degrees inside!
The good news is, after multiple trips from our wonderful AC guy, we should be up and running again today for good. The bad news is, it’s still hot and no amount of air conditioning is going to make anyone feel any better. We have turned into moles in our own home, shades shuttered and curtains drawn, and we exist in total darkness taking turns shoving each other out from in front of the fan in between jumping in and out of the bowl of soup we used to lovingly refered to as our pool.
So, all that being said, sorry for the lazy posting schedule and the total apathy on reading anything…perhaps in a week or so when it’s a chilly 99 degrees again!

Oh thank god it’s not just me who thinks that the temperatures are crazy! It’s not supposed to be this bad, this early or for this long!
Last year I was all, “nah, it’s not that hot. 117 is hot”. I now stand corrected.
We are currently replacing our third a/c unit in a year. It’s an expensive hobby; I’m going to have to give it up. Eventually.
Hey Girl…at least you’ve got power. Up here in the Nations Capital…because we have such a great infrastructure…we lost power last Sunday and didn’t get it back until Tuesday night. If the rest of the country knew how well prepared we are in these parts they’d fear for their lives.
I must admit, over where I am, Summer just means ‘wet but kinda warm’ (and that’s on a good day). Winter usually behaves itself – it snows and leaves white blankets over everything, but as for Summer – it’s a naughty little minx.

I’d say you were pretty lucky – I’d kill for even the slightest bit of sunshine at the moment!
Mind if I come over and live with you for the Summer?
I will never complain about the heat again. I promise.
I’m doing my best not to complain about the heat, afraid it will turn into a downward bitching spiral. I don’t like to sweat but I’m determined to assimilate to Austin.
Hibernation from the intense heat…that may explain the lack of activity in my new neighborhood.
Damn, girl! My downstairs air went out yesterday. Maybe we should buy a lottery ticket together. Surely bad luck turns good, at some point.
huge tally you keep
