Current Mood:  hot anbu
another post.
So here I sit, expelling a light saline solution as if it's going out of style. No, I'm not urinating, just sweating. Monday night, sometime between when I went to bed at 11ish and 2:30am, when the cats judicially informed me that they were famished and it's high time I got out of bed to present them w/ nourishment, the a/c broke down.
Tuesday morning, since the young'un was particularly perturbed about the heat, we made the decision to camp out at a hotel down the road. Apparently they had absolutely no problem with letting us check in at 9am instead of the normal 3pm since they appear to have a plethora of vacancies due to the economy, it's a weekday, and all other manner of reasons which I'm not going to be overly concerned about.
I digress, the reason we chose a hotel: Our favorite a/c folks, since due to the unnatural heat wave that has just come over our fine section of the state, has apparently been overrun with calls upon calls of a/c's breaking down and well, frankly, all of their techinicians are dutifully going across the region and hopefully repairing them. Apparently so busy, that it didn't matter that we had an infant and they were exceedingly apologetic while informing us that it'd be Wednesday in the afternoon when they would be able to attend to our troubled a/c.
I'm an understanding person, I am fully aware that folks have had children since my wife gave birth to our wonderful son so they may take precedence. I am also aware that, since we are living in God's waiting room, there are many fine elderly folks who can't tolerate the heat due to a variety of ailments and such. I wouldn't it want it on my conscience that some baby/infant or someone of an elderly persuasion died of heat stroke. So we opted for a wonderfully a/c'd hotel room.
Wonderful time was had, we enjoyed the pool, a luxury we do not have in our abode (lest you count the $5 preformed plastic variety for our son). My wife was able to take full advantage of the hotel's gym, giving herself a glorious workout in an air-conditioned room that would otherwise have been completely intolerable outside in the awful heat or even on the WiiFit, given the elevated temperature within our abode.
So, check out was at noon, and we took every advantage and waited until the very last minute to excuse ourselves of a wonderful stay, paid the nice folks who have graciously allowed into their establishment, and my mother-in-law came from the fine city of Melbourne, left her car for me to use since it's highly unlikely that my 10-minute daily driver would be able to endure the 1.5 hour excursion to her home, and she left with my wife and child in tow within the family truckster to spend the next night or two at the coast. Once the a/c man has come and gone, I'll be on my way to the coast as well.
The a/c man is supposed to be here between noon and 4pm to attend to our ailing a/c, with great hope on my part that he has all the parts and such so as to resurrect our a/c from it's current torpor. In the meantime, I have all the windows and doors open to allow some semblance of fresh air to waft through, a bit of laundry running in the background, and a fan blowing in my face along with other fans in other key parts of our home to assist the aformentioned wafting.
Now I'm off to play WoW. Hope y'all are enjoying a considerably nicer day, I bid you farewell. |
