So, Ardith's life today has mostly consisted of hiding in her basement, where it tends to be 5 degrees cooler than the rest of the house. Oh, and taking a nap from 8:30am to 11:00am.
Yes, I realize that's an extremely odd time to be taking a nap. I also realize that I can't really sleep much in temperatures warmer than 78, and my A/C is out of commission for a few days. However, I don't feel justified in being much more than somewhat annoyed since a) I realize I'm quite spoiled, and this won't actually hurt me, and b) the heating and cooling systems are under warranty. Note to house-sellers: if you're selling a house with a 25-year-old furnace and central air, spend the ~300 to get a 1-year warranty for these. If they do actually break down (not unlikely), the buyer will think nice thoughts about you for a very long time.
And, it could be considerably worse. Highs are only 80, so the annoyment is really just coming from the humidity. And it's only for a few days (theoretically) while the negotiations between the heating and cooling company and American Home Shield are taking place. Hopefully there won't be any sanctions involved.
In other, Extremely Important News, my brother finally broke down and started a blog. I have added it to the sidebar, in the appropriate spot. He seems to have comments enabled, so I'm encouraging everyone to go over there and say something annoying. Something like "ugh I h8 ur tmpl8, n00b" should work admirably.
