The Continued Saga

Saturday

Temperature high of 104F.
Spend two hours at a fast food restaurant for the air conditioning.
Go shopping to avoid returning home (sense the desperation?).
Return home after dark, driven by hunger, to a furnace-like apartment. It’s hotter inside than out.
Try to fall asleep with a fan two feet away but even the creases in my eyelids and dent in my chin are sweaty.

Sunday

Wake up exhausted because the heat has kept us awake half the night.
Go to Mosaic. They just put in air conditioning! I love that place…
Head up to Kevin’s parents. They have air conditioning.
Spend the night at Kevin’s parents. They turn off the air conditioning because it gets so cool at night!

Monday

The air conditioning is supposed to be fixed today!
Spend half the day at Kevin’s parents. They have air conditioning.
Return to apartment with bated breath: is it fixed? Turn on A/C. Loud clanking and banging. That would be no…
Fortunately it is cooler, in the high 80’s.
Sleep in the living room directly in front of the A/C (which keeps banging loudly) and a few fans.

Tuesday

Cool enough to actually be pleasant. Cool enough to think and function.
Find out the A/C was installed improperly which is why it doesn’t work right. They should fix it tomorrow or the next day.
Find out the A/C won't be fixed until Monday…two days after we move out. Appropriate.
Oh well. Just a few more days. At least the weather's cooler!
