divine angst

Leave it to me.

Our central AC has been out the last couple of days. Our landlord knows of the problem, loaned us a window unit for the time being, and set an appointment for the HVAC guy to come out tomorrow and take a look at things.

But meanwhile, we have no AC. In fact, we’re not even using the window unit right now since it has no noise-blocking properties and goes in the window right in front of the train. So I just have all the fans on and the windows open.

If I sit quietly and work on my computer, I stay pretty cool. It’s only in the mid-80s, after all, and we get a fair amount of shade. But NOOOO, I couldn’t sit and work quietly, without moving. No, instead, I started the day by finishing painting the office (and almost ran out of paint, so we may have to go get some more paint and do a second coat). Then I worked for 4-1/2 hours, quietly, without moving. And then I got stir crazy and swept and mopped (most of) the floors. And then I was still stir crazy, so I scrubbed the tub. And then I scrubbed the sink. Somewhere in there I did the dishes. I tried to lay down in the bedroom to cool off for a bit, but couldn’t be still. So I got back up.

I need to do another 4 or so hours of work today, but I can barely focus because I’m so hot now. Meh. Leave it to me.
