It's going to be a long road
Our air conditioner went out yesterday. We've been living paycheck to paycheck for a while and the money issues have been putting a strain on our relationship, but we were dealing with it; now there's this expense that is going to push us too far. We'll make it happen, though. We always do.
At this moment it's not so bad. The windows are open and a fan is blowing and I feel almost cool. This afternoon is when it's going to hit us. It's still in the upper eighties around here. This house gets all sticky and stuffy and I'm not looking forward to it. Nora gets to run around in nothing but a onesie today. Lucky girl. I have to wear pants.
I have no idea what to expect with this repair. It's the first major house repair and I'm rarely taken seriously. I'm planning on dressing for the repair guy. Silly, but I think if I look confident, serious and put together he might show me a smidge more respect.
One blessing was that Nora had to sleep in our room last night so that we could all take advantage of the one fan we own. She only woke up twice and she's sleeping peacefully now. Crazy.
But! She's slept too much this morning for her 'schedule' and I should wake her up, feed her some boobie and start this day. It's going to be horrible if I don't hit the ground running. Doing housework in a hot home is not my idea of fun.
UPDATE: I called the repair guy and he showed within an hour. Sure, we're paying for that kind of service, but now I don't have to worry about the increasing outdoor heat. I wish I could bring money in. Adam is such a bear when we run tight and this cost is going to set us back until January. Bummer.
