Le Sigh.

Our living room looks like we had a slumber party that never ended.

This is because everyone who lives in our house is sleeping there.

The central air is out, and the warranty company is replacing it (tomorrow, supposedly), but for now we've just got the window unit in the craft room and 6 fans bringing that cold air into the living room. Getting the bedrooms cold just isn't happening.


It's way too hot to go play outside.

On a seperate note, apparently Lilycat is losing control of her bladder because she pissed in my bed and slept on it. And in the hall. And under the coffee table.

Oh man, I had this happen before too, it was awful! We bought a TINY window-unit and stuck it in the kitchen window, and ended up with the bed and everything made of leather (mold was a problem) stashed in our living room/kitchen area, with a blanket nailed up across the hallway. I think we lived like that for over a year. I hope your ordeal lasts a shorter time!

I made the mistake of cooking sausage in the kitchen once and everything we owned was sausage-y for AGES.

We were keeping different hours too, so I ended up doing a lot of activities after dark with a flash-light while Krypt slept. I also got wireless headphones so I could watch TV/listen to music without waking him up. It was in interesting time.

So sorry about Lilycat, and I apologize for not leaving FB on your latest fics (they were both awesome), I've been at a loss for words lately and when I do have them I've been having to use them elsewhere. If that makes sense.

They say it'll be monday now. They came and took the old unit today and are bringing the new one then. Arg.

Heh. Sausage.

My ex and I were in a semi-homeless situation for a while a long time ago where we shared the dining room of a house, that had been abandoned for a year, that had one tiny AC unit put back in it. Yeah, I got used to sleeping with more than one pillow on my head. Interesting, yes.

No worries on the FB. I'm sort of short on words myself. I used to reply to like every comment I got and now I just feel like I sound weird when I reply to people who comment on the fics (and most of my rl stuff). I'm trying to get over it but it's not coming quick.

Take care of yourself. I hope the new dosages of the meds are working themselves out with your system and vice versa.

Thank you! Yeah the abandoned house thing sounds about right.

Our thing happened during the summer AND a heat wave (thus proving my theory that God hates me), and the a/c kept that one room around 80 degrees and that was all it could manage. The rest of the house was over 100 degrees, so we would dash into it to grab clothes, bathe, and run back to the cool part.
