It's SO hot....

We had a new Central Air Conditioner installed 2 Summers ago.  Something that was state of the art and so powerful that we would only use half the electricity to cool the house.  It was installed at the end of that particular summer and last summer was really the first time it was put to good use.  It had a few little problems, but Mr. Wonderful ventured into the attic and tinkered with it and all was fine.

So this Summer we have RECORD BREAKING temperatures and all of Mr. W's tinkering could not put "humpty dumpty back together again".  Can you even imagine my frustration when we called the guy who put this unit in just to find out that he refused to come back to look at it - WTF?!?!?! 

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday - with temperatures hovering around 100 degrees, we managed to survive until someone finally came to lok at it.  We were reassured that we had top of the line equipment with the worst possible installation - again I say, WTF???  

Throughout the obvious sweating, I reminded Mr W that we spent the first half of our marriage without ANY airconditioning..... he reminded me that we were a lot younger then!!%%#!

Here it is Friday afternoon - and we have a tentative appointmet ("no promises") for tomorrow afternoon.  The temperture is still hovering in the high 90's.

We've had invitations to sleep at nerighbor's houses, kids' houses and we even  thought about going to a hotel - yet we stayed put.  WHY?, you may ask..... Mr. Wonderful could not, in good conscience, leave all the animals sweltering alone.  He is a good man.... and he has a good heart... but, let's face it, he totally has his priorities out of order!!!

(I took Brandy to work today so she could sleep comfortably in my air conditioned office)
