A (Hot) Midsummer Night's Dream

Last night I was exhausted and fell asleep around 10:00. (I usually go to bed somewhere around 11 or 12.) I was so happy to finally get a good night's sleep, especially after the crappy day I had yesterday.** I woke up about 1am, really hot and sweaty. This is strange because we leave the air conditioner on at night (especially lately because the humidity has been so high). I also heard a strange noise, kind of like a gurgling wheeze, coming from the closet where part of our unit is housed. I got up and looked at the controls...it was 84 degrees in our house! The fan wasn't even running. So I turned the unit off, opened up all the windows and went back to bed. Unfortunately, it wasn't much cooler outside than it was inside. After 2 hours of very fretful and hot sleeping (or should I say dozing?), Ian finally got up and tried the air conditioner once again. The unit made a really loud noise, but started up, thankfully.

So, here's to hoping that it's still running when we get home. I need some sleep!

**First, I spilled olive oil on my skirt, 5 minutes before I had to leave for work and a meeting with the city manager. Then I lost a computer file that had taken me days to create (and no hard-copy backup). I also found out that the piece of paper that Honda sent me to let the DMV know that I've paid my car off so they can release the title to me is worthless in the state of Kentucky.

I hope to bring some comic relief, Dolly. See you tomorrow. Love, E
