I will start this post by saying that I really love my house, and I will love it even more when the moving truck gets here tomorrow and I have furniture and whatnot.? That being said…

The AC unit in the living room isn’t big enough to cool the living room. The layout of the house is such that the living room leads right into the kitchen, and there’s a hallway, bathroom, and third bedroom down the hall.  All of this is open space, so the Air Conditioner didn’t stand much chance of cooling that. The landlord did not install the AC, it was left by previous tenants, and therefore the landlord isn’t responsible for repairing it.

The cat is miserable… I’m worried about him getting through this week without having severe heat stroke. Today it’s 94 in the house, and that’s with 4 fans running between the living room and kitchen. I’m sick to my stomach I’m so hot. I can’t really leave to get into an air conditioned store, because I’d have to close up the house… and then the cat would be in even worse shape.

Brightsides? It’s unseasonably warm this week; usually the highs are in the low 90s, not near 100. The heat is supposed to break Thursday. I have a great shower and I can take another one if it becomes unbearable. The sun will go down in about three hours, and it’ll start to cool down. Also, at night? My room stays very cool with a fan in the window and one fan by the door. Last night it got “chilly” enough to need a blanket.

When Jake gets back from his business trip we will try moving the air conditioner into the bedroom. It’s much smaller than the space out here, and I think it will work nicely to cool things down in there. At least then I’ll have somewhere to go to escape the heat. I will also be able to leave the cat in there when I go to work if the AC works out.

Right now I just feel as if I’m in the 7th realm of hell.
