Shook me cold

I just deleted a really long venting post I've been working on.

I genuinely feel sick from the heat, and frustrated, and trying to take care of the babies and try like hell to focus and get anything done... I've been depressed and frustrated with this apt complex for a long time, and I still am. I was near to tears writing a whole long thing about it when just now there was a knock at the door. It wasn't maintenance, but some guys from another company who told us before it needed a new piece and the management fought them on it due to expense. They brought them in again anyway, and they took another look at it.

It's not just that piece anymore. We need a whole new unit. This one, as we already knew, was shot. And they're going to replace it asap, as soon as tomorrow or as late as Friday. And I am praying, praying, that this will really happen this time. We've actually needed a new unit for at least two years now. It's been wasting electricity and breaking down on a regular basis, and they were dismissive of us and the poor maintenance guys who were constantly having to come up and see if they could give it a good kick and get it going for another week or two.

It should not have taken the complex this long to do this. I'm grateful, but I still feel trapped and eager to move on as I sit here in the hot darkness with all the fans going. But once we get this fixed, it will be SO much easier to endure the rest of our time here.
