how hot does it get in hell?
OK, so I got home from a long day of work on Thursday at 6:30 pm. Plan was to get a quick workout in and then meet friends at a mexican restaurant for a graduation party (sadly, not for me). Husband was on call and not available. So I walk into my home, and instead of being greeted by my ehuberant dogs, I am greeted by a whoosh of blasting-ly hot air. I take a look at the thermostat (one of those digital, save money by programming your temperature jobs), and it reads 97 degrees. IN MY HOUSE. 97. Incidentally, it is also set on cool and the fan is blowing hot air like crazy. My dogs have by this time come in from outside and are laying on their sides on the ceramic tile, hyperventilating.
So I call an ac repair man who doesn't charge overtime, and is licensed and bonded etc etc etc, and he gets to my house around 8:00 (so much for the workout). He then tells me the AC is shot, and I need a new one. For all I know, it needs more freon, but how the hell can I tell? SO I am forced to believe him. He then explains that he can out a new one in for me, tonight, for 1000 dollars IN CASH.
Now normally I would have probably just said I'll deal with this tomorrow and gone to a friend's house and let all of my computer stuff melt, but I was worried about my dogs. To make a long story short, the new AC was installed at 11:00 pm, so much for the graduation party. But by that time I was so hot and tired and ready to sleep that I could have married either one of those extortionate ac repair guys, just for making cold air come from my vents.
I got to bed about 1:00 am, and I was on call the next day in the ICU.
And I'm pretty sure all of my wine is ruined, but I can't drink it to check, being pregnant and all.
So that about sums it up for my really really crappy day on thursday into friday.
By the way, does anyone know what the plans are for the Harry Potter kids and the next movies? I keep hearing rumors that they are going to change, and I am totally out of the loop on this stuff, except that I've read all the books and seen the movies an stuff, and I think they cast them pretty well, but they are looking a bit old.
