(no subject)

In all the excitement, I forgot to mention that our air conditioning was fixed on Tuesday while we were gone. However, it didn't come without a price. That price? Having maintenance people enter my house and see the mess in which we reside. And when I say "mess", I really do mean it. We have two floors here, and the upstairs (where our bedroom is) was twenty degrees warmer than the downstairs (which was still burning hot.) So, we did what any rational person would do, and dragged the mattress off our bed and down the stairs, and made it up again in the middle of the living room floor. There's an overhead fan in there, and we had gone to WalMart to buy a fan, and M filled a pan with ice to put in front of the fan so the air it was blowing was cooler. (This worked a little bit, I think. Better than nothing and no loss or anything.) And naturally, we hadn't put any of that stuff away when we got up in the morning after a craptastic night's sleep, so somewhere out there, there's a man who thinks we put a bed in our livingroom. Great.

It's not even 8:30 and I've spent the last twenty minutes on the phone with M, my eyes closed because I can't keep them open. I think tonight, I'll be going to bed early.
