My summer vacation.

Technology has come a long way. I like being able to sit in my PJs and surf the internet, chat with my friends, watch a million different videos or movies instantly. This week I have been reminded of how lucky I am. My air conditioner died on Sunday. Before you think big deal, suck it up let me tell you a bit about where I live. In AZ we call it a "dry heat". Somehow it being "dry" is supposed to make 110 degree weather feel better. I admit, it is nicer than high humidity climates, I don't instantly feel wet when I step outside. However, the lack of AC in my house has caused the internal temp to rise well over 90 degrees. My dogs are hot, I am hot, it is awful. The monsoons have rolled in today, meaning it is no longer a dry heat. We are in a heat advisory today and tomorrow. I have fas blowing at dog beds to try and help keep my kids cooler. I have taken them swimming and today we went for a drive to feel the car AC. After spending my week talking to the Home Warranty people I was finally told that my AC has been approved to be replaced. My plan to work on HW and get ahead has been completely thrown to the wayside as I went into survival mode this week. Stay cool, stay cool, stay cool.

  1. In my last apartment complex one of two allowed emergency calls was if the toilet was overflowing and if the AC died. I've been told the horror stories of when the hurricanes hit a few years ago and no one had power for weeks. That happens, I'm flying back to CA for a vacation. I feel your pain. No one in AZ or FL should ever been without AC.
