You know the one thing celebrities and appliances have in common? Any one? Any guesses? Well, I'll tell you. They all die in three's. It's true! So like with celebrities, when two appliances went down in a matter of days I was immediately keyed on seeing which would be the next to fall.
It started a little over a week ago when our microwave decided to just do it's own thing, literally. Without pressing a button or sending mental commands, it would just start up on it's own and wouldn't turn off unless unplugged. A few days later, the blender decided to "walk into the light", right when I was in the middle of blending up a shake. And yesterday, at the hottest point of the day, and the year for that matter, the AC put in for early retirement and caught a plane for Hawaii. Amazing how quickly the thermostat jumps when there's no AC. 83, 85, 89.... I stopped looking when it hit 92. I figured, why add to the depression?
Julie was a stronger person then I. When it came time for bed I lasted all of 5 minutes at which point I sought refuge down in the basement. Took the old futon mattress and some old sheets and "roughed" it. Even Sophie came down stairs to get some relief. She had this look of "What the hell! You gonna turn the AC back on any time soon?" Well, hopefully that'll be some time today. Got someone coming out late this morning. Hopefully it'll only take a little electrical defib to jump start this baby. Otherwise, that ice bath is starting to look pretty good.
