We still don’t have AC. For those of you playing along at home, we’re going into day 6 of not being able to spend more than a few minutes inside our apartment.
I am now really worried because on top of everything else, the AC has been running this entire time in the hopes that it’ll actually get fixed and then cool down the place before we get home one afternoon. Who am I kidding? So today when we pop in to get clothes (including a laundry basket and detergent, because I must do some fucking laundry, I’m nearly out of everything) I’m going to turn off the AC, because I don’t know how stupidly high our electric bill is already going to be, but I’m not going to let it get even worse.
In addition to grabbing an overflowing laundry basket this afternoon, I’ll try to snag some other stuff like nail scissors… all the mail that’s piled up… a book or two… the cable that connects my iPod to my computer…
I hate money, I hate jackassess, and I hate this apartment at this point.
Oh, and on another note, here’s a preliminary list of stuff we’re going to sell soon. I would love to take photos and post them online, and write complete descriptions with the item in question actually in front of me, but again, that would require being able to spend more than a few minutes in the apartment. So anyway, we’ll be selling:
- A fancy dark wood dining room table. If you ever went to Rusty’s old apartment in Decatur, you saw it.
- A 27-inch TV. I bought it in 2003 when I moved to Dallas - almost exactly 4 years ago!
- A fairly low-end but perfectly functional DVD player. Mitsubishi I think.
- A blue denim love seat that folds out into a bed. I bought it at Pier 1 in 2004.
- Maybe the blue denim chair that matches the love seat. I haven’t decided about that yet, though.
- A coffee table and two end tables that kind of make a “set.”
- A Mac Mini and monitor.
- A garden-variety microwave.
Email if interested, but I don’t know prices or anything else yet.
And, preemptively: nobody post any comments about I should do this or did I try that or why don’t I do that other thing. No, no, no. We’re doing what we’re doing, and that’s what we’re doing. And that’s the end of it!

Amber it sucks you have no AC (as a person who rarely uses it, I can’t say as I actually you know, feel your pain, because I like sweltering hot, but I am nuts and all, and even I turn it way down for sleeping), but I hope it gets fixed soon, because I’ve been in Atlanta in August….whew…
I might be interested in the dining room table!
Yeah, I don’t know what I’d do in your guys’ situation. you’re handling it really well. I hope things get better soon.
Aw, you poor thing.
Nothing worse than no AC in August in the deep South… had that happen when I was living in New Orleans, thought I was gonna go crazy and crawl out of my skin.
Think cool thoughts!
