One day closer

Another day, another day closer to getting our A/C fixed. Last night was the warmest yet. It feels like it's gonna be a hot one today, too. I'm gonna do some stuff around here, then maybe head out in my air-conditioned car to air-conditioned places. Dunno yet. We went looking for some kind of portable A/C unit last night, and we were willing to pay maybe $200 -- but the only thing we could find that was similar to what we wanted was $500. At that rate, as far as I am concerned we can sweat out the next week and a half. I'm not paying that much for something that's only going to cool one room! So we bought a couple of standing oscillating fans -- one for our room and one for the stepdaughter's room. We have a ceiling fan in our room, thank God -- but it's not enough right now. We wanted something blowing air right on us, especially since there's two of us and the husband is always hot. When our A/C is working, he's usually freezing me out!

So it wasn't too bad -- had some trouble falling asleep but we finally managed. Right now I have all the windows open and all the fans running. Thankfully all I really need to do to get the house clean is dust and vacuum -- and do some laundry. And change the sheets. And clean the cat box, I think. That should be it. I think I'm gonna go look at BBQs today, too. And something to treat the wood that the outside chairs I bought a few weeks ago with. And maybe a waffle iron for the husband for Father's Day. Then we can do Belgian waffles for breakfast. He tried to make me buy a waffle iron the other day, but I told him we didn't need that right now so I could still make it his Father's Day gift.

The stepdaughter just left with her mother to go to the Crawdad Festival in Isleton, and the husband is at work until 11 so I have the house to myself right now. It's nice and quiet around here! So, I guess I'll do what I need to do around here and then go shopping or something. Not that I should be spending any money. But fuck it!
