I’ve never been “girly”. I’ve never fainted or whatever you want to call it but yesterday was damned close.
We’ve been having problems with our AC. Two weeks ago we had a hellacious day (one of those over 100 or damned near it) with no AC. It made me sick and I didn’t eat right for nearly a week. It started working right again and I was thrilled. I’d just gotten to where I could look at a damned recipe without wanting to toss my cookies and then Monday the AC went out completely.
We had two days of over 100 degree days without AC. I’d tried to do my best but the meds I’m on for HBP make me more sensitive to the heat. Yesterday afternoon, we’d been waiting for the maintenance guy to come see what the problem was, I felt like I was suffocating because of the heat. I asked Richard to set up a fan in the bedroom so I could lie down. I started to walk down the hall and things started spinning and I stumbled. He helped me to the bedroom and my body must have had enough because it was goodnight nurse… I went out like a light. Didn’t wake up until Richard woke me up to tell me the maintenance guy had left mid-job to get a part (he also was working on another job he had). Richard got a tad miffed and let the answering service know it. He’d called the office earlier in the day and told them we’d been waiting and that I have asthma and HBP and was susceptible to the heat. They said they’d send him to us next. It was around 2 or 3 something. He didn’t make it to our apartment until around 7. Finally it got fixed around 9pm. God it feels nice in here.
I’m irked because I had to toss a bunch of food out of our freezer. It got so hot in here that meat in the freezer started to thaw out.
Screw it. Thinking about eating right now makes me want to gag. I lost 10 lbs with the last little escapade and not being able to eat. God only knows how long it will be till I feel like eating again. I could stand to lose more weight but it’s not a diet I’d recommend while having to keep other people fed. Ugh.
