Hot = LOW

It's been almost a week of no downstairs AC.

There's a heat advisory for today. For those of you who are lucky enough to live somewhere NORMAL, a heat advisory is:

A heat advisory is issued when hot temperatures and high relative humidity will cause heat index readings to range between 100 to 105 during the daytime.

Around here, it also means that nighttime temperatures will not dip below 80.

My downstairs is currently 87. My upstairs is 83. And still no word on when it will be fixed.

***insert the "I'm in HELL" joke of your choice here***

And poor Elise. Poor, itchy, hot Elise and her crashing blood sugars. I've lost count of how many extra carbs I'm pouring down her throat.

Who has two thumbs, is slowly going mad and hates Texas?




This girl.

  1. Just reading about it makes me feel yucky (I was gonna say hotter but - - - not going there...).
    I hope the AC guy or gal shows up very, very soon.
    PS - more photos from the budding photographer!

  3. aw man I can't even imagine, well I kind of can, but not really - two years in TX with AC was enough, I can not imagine times without with two kiddos and d in the mix. Actually I remember one day in Sept when they canceled school where I taught because the AC wasn't working...hmmm...I hope somebody gets there quick and fixes things. ((Hugs)) well not a real hug because that sounds hot and sweaty and you just don't need any more of that, hope you find some way to stay cool ;)

  9. Amy - apparently they just don't care. I've thrown it down so many times that I've lost count. I've even added I have a baby. And I'm thinking about getting pregnant just so I can add that too.

    Not that they care. Sigh. I am beyond puddle.

  10. Move to Minnesota! We've be happy to have you! Course, our temperatures for the next week are supposed to be in the 90s-100s, so maybe Minnesota isn't that much better. We have hockey though!

  13. Do high temps cause lows? Being in the chilly NW I haven't heard that one yet, but it would explain why we were battling lows all day at camp today. The sun was beating down on us and the BG just kept dropping even with no insulin. Please expound!
