Perfect Effing TimingSo on the day that I have like 500 errands to run and the day that Love won't be home until way late because he and his brother are taking their dad to a baseball game as a Father's Day gift immediately after work the a/c in my car decided to die ( Read more... )

PC ProblemsOk, I'm typing this on the laptop just to do a quick update. Everything was fine this morning, then I went out to run some errands. Came home a few hours later and went to check my email. Turns out my monitor hadn't gone to sleep like normal. It was still on, but all I was getting was a black screen with a blinking cursor. Yeah, never a ( Read more... )

This and That
I keep thinking of little blurbs of things to post but they're (A) not enough to do on their own or (B) things I think about at times that I'm not ready or able to post. I'm going to try to remember some though now and update.

• Sewing Machine So I've managed to get some non-loopy stitches out of my machine last night. Not sure which ( Read more... )

It's Like Twitter...only I'm more pissed ( Read more... )

It's 1pm. Do You Know Where Your Air Conditioning Unit Is?1pm. Still no a/c unit delivered. So much for "am delivery." It's now also officially hot in here. It's given me a headache and I'm cranky from this mess. It's just bullshit that I have to sit around and just deal with it. For a thousand fucking dollars a month, they should be a little ( Read more... )

Still Waiting
It's now after 11:30am. And the new a/c unit has yet to arrive. Which of course means we've made zero progress so far today. (Since, duh, you can't begin to install something that doesn't exist yet.)

Did I mention it's starting to get quite toasty in here?

Bah.

Noisy NightSo it turns out the biggest problem to sleeping in an apartment without air conditioning is having the windows open. Because holy crap, it was so noisy last night. I laid down for bed around 1:45am or so. By about 3am, I couldn't take it anymore and I got up and cut a Tylenol PM in half and took it. I had to drug myself to sleep because ( Read more... )

The Need For Climate Control
Here's why you need climate control basically at all times in Florida. It's 1:16am and 81% humidity.

Taking RefugeSo I'm typing this on the laptop over at my friend Rand's house. It was just too damned hot and humid in the apartment to stick around, so I'm borrowing some air conditioning at his place. Love's hanging out with another friend of his after work so he's not dealing with the hot apartment either. I figure once the sun goes down and it ( Read more... )

FuckIt's bad enough that the a/c in my car has decided to stop blowing cold air but when I get home this afternoon, it's about 90F (32C) degrees inside my apartment too. Call maintenance and he comes out to check it only to tell me that my compressor has a huge hole in it ( Read more... )
