2 am and the temps have finally dropped to 80. My A/C has not been working all weekend, for the third time in the 2 years I have been in this apartment. The management does not consider this an emergency, but hopefully they will do something tomorrow. I have spent the whole weekend laying on the bed under the ceiling fans with my cats, my books and my laptop, The cats are miffed at me -- I will allow them on the bed, but I won't allow them to lay on me.
In addition to the A/C being out, my dryer is no longer drying, and I went for about a day without hot water -- a problem when Mal is having "litter box issues" and pissing on everything not covered in plastic (and some things that are). The power was out, but only for about an hour. I have a rash on my arms that is driving me crazy with the itching. I believe it is linked to donating blood. The last time I donated, I got a rash on that arm. I asked the doctor if maybe I was allergic to the antiseptic they use to clean your arm and he pooh-poohed the idea. However this time I got stuck in both arms (the left wouldn't bleed good enough, so they ended up going with the right), and this time I have a rash on both arms.
On top of all that, I have a killer sore throat and maybe a fever. It's hard to tell when it's so hot. Strep throat has been going around work, and I'm afraid that's what I have. It's 2 am and I need to be up in 5 hours to call the doctor and try to get in. And it's too hot and I hurt and itch and I can't sleep. I know all this is temporary and I really don't have it all that bad, but none of that seems to matter right now. Sigh. I guess I'll take a second sleeping pill and see if I can finally get some sleep.
