I'm really hot
No, not the Missy Elliot song, nor have I experienced a jump in self-esteem. It's just that the AC was out for over 24 hours, on likely one of the hottest days of the year, AND my laptop has also overheated quite a lot lately, including once today. Prolly some major dustige up in there, and no wonder, but still I don't want to slap down another grand or so to get a new one just yet.
We really like the guy at Tropical Heating and Air Conditioning--I called early this morning, he came by around 6 and it was fixed 15 minutes later. They fixed it two years ago, when A was not in a happy place and neither was I. He spent about a month screaming bloody murder instead of taking a nap. Glad that's over! Anyway, the kicker is that the booster they hooked up may or may not work for a long period of time, so we'll need to start saving up for a new one. Normally they would just replace the compressor, but now there are new efficiency standards which drive up the cost, plus if you replace that, it's better to also replace the unit inside etc... I don't fully understand it all. What I do know is that I drink my allotted 8 glasses of water when it's this hot, I have no desire to do anything at all, and I want to move somewhere that the word "Tropical" does not describe the climate.

I concur. You know, when our air has gone out because of a fuse blown because this apartment is a piece of doodie, the mall was a friend to us. Even the local Rite Aid was a breath of stale cool air. Or you could make the best of it by putting a lawn chair in the sandbox outside, slathering on some coconut-smelling spf 40 sunblock and pretend it's tanning lotion, kick back with a strawberry daiquiri flavored snowball, and make like you're at the beach. :)
