Posted by kelvicious in : house , trackbackit’s quarter after eight on a saturday morning and i’ve been up for a good long while. i’m sitting outside on our back deck because it is PRAISE JESUS twenty thousand degrees cooler out here than in the house.
today is going to be ninety degrees. nine zero. i’m sick of talking to people who say things like, “i’m from texas, ninety is nothing!” no, stupid. ninety is really hot. especially when there is ninety-nine percent humidity and everything is sticky and you get angry at the drop of a hat because you just might be melting. oh, and the river smells really pleasant, too.
our plans for the day include complaining about the heat and then maybe heading to the mall or the movies to hang with the other people who don’t have air conditioning (hippies!).
when we bought our house, we didn’t think the lack of central air would be a problem: the dorms at duquesne didn’t have air conditioning. our first apartment in the hill didn’t have air conditioning. my shoebox in squirrel hill didn’t have air conditioning. oh, but the thing we forgot about all those places? was just how fucking miserable they were.
unfortunately, being that our house is hella old and built from rocks and sticks and chewing gum, it can’t be outfitted with central air. i really think that as soon as we’re done fixing it up, we’ll sell it and trade up. i will scrape and pinch every penny for air conditioning. that’s right. i would sell my house for air conditioning. i would sell my mom for air conditioning.

do you guys have any window units? we have three here (but we’re usually only using one at a time) and they’ve been serious lifesavers. i wouldn’t be able to sleep, otherwise.
i never needed A/C before. i must be getting old.
anyway, if you want to borrow a unit, it’s yours. they’re newer and digital and have sleep timers on them and stuff.
PS: i’m so telling your mom you said that.
I can’t wait till you sell house and mom and you’re blogging from next to your air conditioner, homeless and orphaned.
This post seems familiar somehow…
