Reasons why today was good… ?

[written Friday night, amidst sweltering heat, I might add]

Today was good. We
went to the zoo and that was
quite a lot of fun.

Braden was cute all
day long, as is usual.
He brings me such joy.

Um, dinner was good.
Yeah, it was yummy. Sketti.
Yeah, dinner was good.

Oh, who the hell am
I kidding?! Being positive
is not my best trait!

I need to complain!
UPSTAIRS A/C EFFING DIED!
*pulling out my hair*

Why upstairs? Huh? Why?
UPSTAIRS! Where the heat rises!
Why not downstairs, HUH?

Eighty-Seven – not
an acceptable number
of degrees inside.

I stand firm on this.
So does Braden. His screams at
bedtime confirm it.

Who can sleep like this?
And how can I possibly
Plurk well in this heat!?

Oh well. Off now to
dip my BEWBS in ice water.
Can’t let them suffer.

 

 

{ Oh yeah, don’t forget
to go vote for BEWBS and PECS!
The Rack begs you to! ;-) }

  • i’m thinking no sleeping would be happening at 87 degrees. or at least not good sleep. it gets hot here during the days – and sometimes it’s still rather warm at bed time – but at least it cools down at night!

    fingers crossed you get your a/c gets repaired soon.

    If you’re planning on ever visiting Australia better do it in our winter then. Summers here get so much hotter than 87 degrees.

  • Here’s hoping your AC gets fixed ASAP. It’s already in the 90s here in Tampa, FL and I think no AC would break me. . and I don’t have any kids.

  • AC is for pussies!
    Plurk is like crack….can not stop PLURKING!

  • Oh well. There it goes. Dipping her ‘BEWBS’ in ice water. Dripping. I can’t do this. I gotta go staple my fingers together so I can take my mind off of what currently occupies it. Wish me luck?

  • Ugh…sorry your A/C went out. That stinks. Aren’t you renting? Because the landlord should fix this problem immediately since heat-related issues are a top priority!

    We’re leaving Monday for a road trip with the family to your neck of the woods…stopping in Memphis our first night & then our final stop is Gatlinburg.

    Sending some cold thoughts your way…

  • Oh, I feel for you! Our upstairs a/c doesn’t go out, but the precipitation freezes at night sometimes, so we wake up in a pool of sweat.

    I think you are lying about the a/c. I think you wrote that post JUST SO you could mention dipping the rack in ice water. Did you see how distraught poor Lou was? Do you want to be responsible for Lou’s heart attack, or rack attack, as the case may be? For all of us who lack the rack are you trying to rub your rack in our faces???? I too am now unable to get the vision out of my head. Let me instead send you good vibes of coolness. Yet the rack vision lingers…

  • Ugh. Reminds me of the days when I was young and living seriously low-budget. No A./C in the San Fernando Valley = SICK. I used to soak my top sheet in water, wring it out, and then lay it over me and set the fan to blow directly over the bed. Only way I could sleep.

    Maybe you could rent a window unit for the bedroom until they fix it?

  • We don’t have A/C in our house either. Unless you count the small window unit that we put in our bedroom once the temp hits 77 degrees with full humidity.

    I hope you are able to be comfortable, soon!
