I’m going to skip talking about my health today because frankly, I’m ignoring it for a couple of days. I need a mental break. I haven’t even posted a video on my YouTube channel in weeks. I can’t. It’s in the box with my other shit that I’m ignoring! I’m going to need a whole building for a box pretty soon. It’s getting crowded in there!
So, Texas has been having a record breaking warm front come through. Most of the southwest has been enjoying Satan’s Holiday.
Two things:
1) Texas gets a heat index warning and we are told to stay indoors when it’s 110 degrees out. Arizona calls 110 degrees, June, July, August and September. But we are a bit luckier than them and we don’t move when it’s over 103.
2) I think. And I’m sure that you will agree, that that means it’s the perfect timing for my Air Conditioning to break! Yes! Two nights ago at 3am, it was still 98 degrees outside, and I start feeling like there’s something very very wrong happening in my house. First, it feels sticky, second, I feel on the verge of sweating, third, there’s no humming sound….. Now, the ac unit is in the ceiling above my bathroom. There’s a little access door to get to it and the humming is really noticeable in there if you’re paying attention so I decide to head that direction and as soon as I hit the door it felt like the tropics. Sticky and wet and gross. When I turned the light on I saw it. The nightmare of going without AC during a record breaking hotter than hell week…. My ceiling was dripping water like a waterfall.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck me! Is pretty much the thought process at that moment. See, until I moved to the hottest places in the country I’d never known that AC units could “Freeze up.” Which I s exactly that. Your AC turns into a block of ice from trying too hard to cool off the house and mine was frozen AND melting all at the same time. Yay!
I woke my husband up with “ Hey, hi, it’s me… ya, can you understand me yet? Ok, cool, listen, no need to panic the whole way but, see, the AC is frozen, our ceiling is soaking wet AND there’s water pouring out a little-lot into the bathtub, the good news is that at least it’s in the bathtub, ok? You good still?”
He wasn’t good still and jumped up and ran to the bathroom which is when the fun started… thawing out the AC….. Turn it off, let the blazing hot heat that the apartment is becoming melt the ice. I got two fans, pointed them at me and Southern Bell-ed my distress, Oh Lord Jesus, Save us from this heat, Lord, let me live through this, God, it’s getting real fucking hot, Jesus! Someone bring me some lemonade and a cool wash rag!
Ok, not exactly like that, out loud anyway, but I don’t do heat in any way anymore. Just no.
My husband fixed it. It took four hours, I fell asleep with my fans on me, the fix it guy came and basically told the husband good job and gave us a new filter.
I was given an atta girl for noticing that the AC was frozen so, you’re welcome. I’m a brilliant little detective, right here!
Night luvs,
Me
