I slept like shit last night because it was so horrendously hot in our
room. All I did was toss and turn, and I woke myself up every time I
did. Finally when my husband woke up at 4:30am to call in to work I
got up, went to the bathroom, drank a glass of cold water, and took one
of the ice packs out of the freezer.
More or less I went to bed
hugging the damn thing like a teddy bear and THEN I was comfortable.
Oh, we opened the windows at that point as well, but it was humid and
warm out so it didn't really do a lot besides giving the hot air in our
room somewhere to go and replacing it with more warm, stuffy air. It
was probably 90-95 degrees in there by morning. I looked at the
thermostat when I got up today and my dad had the AC turned up to 82.
Now what in the hell is the point, especially if he knows that our room
gets incredibly hot when the AC doesn't run at all.
That pissed me off quite nicely this morning. I get when he bumps it
to 78, I can deal with that. 82? Why even bother keeping the stupid
fucking thing on. See, this is yet another reason I want to move out.
My dad always complains and whines about being cold. So instead of
trying to do anything so we don't have to burn up in our sleep but he doesn't have to freeze, he just
turns the AC up so it doesn't run, to hell with us, he doesn't tell us and he's all nice
and warm and cozy while we're sweating our asses off. I woke up
completely sweaty, my hair was all greased over because I had sweated
so much ... and I didn't have time for a shower. Fucking nice. I have
half a mind to tell him that I got so sweaty over night because it got
so hot that I got reprimanded and had hours taken away from me because
I didn't look suitable enough. There is truth in that I was told to
watch my hours. Things have changed a bit and she just doesn't have the work she thought she would, so I get to go back to watching my hours closely instead of bumping them up little by little.
I am so ready to go home. My stomach feels funny, my nose and eyes are still itchy, and my throat is really scratchy. However, I will not be going home, flopping down and giving up for the day. I will go home to change and then leave right away for the bank. I'm hoping at that point we can see if we're eligible for loans as well. From there I'm not sure what I want to do yet purely because I know there's not much cleaning to worry over, but there are possible errands to run. I know I'm going home first before the bank so I can get out of these uncomfortable damn clothes. For some reason today I am just not mentally getting along with wearing my suit. Too much adjusting and smoothing. I don't feel 100% so I'd rather just wear my usual stuff.
I also know today that among other things, I need to copy down information out of the preserving & canning book my husband's aunt loaned to me, so that I can get it back to her. I'll continue the job hunt endeavor if possible as well. Sometime after I feel I've accomplished what I wanted to for the day, I'll probably take a nice hot bath since my dad sort of screwed us over last night. I'm not a morning shower person, I take one before bed and that's it. No problem, usually. It really pissed me off since I was specifically told by my boss to look extra sharp today.
I tell you, if he can find a way to screw us over, he will and I'm getting fed up with it. Oh yeah, and I'm convinced that since as soon as the sun goes down and it gets remotely chilly he's freezing and whining ... he must be reptilian somehow ... definitely cold blooded.

My sympathy on the sleep situation. It's always a struggle for me to find the right mix of warm and cool without someone messing with my heater and fan. If your hair is long enough, putting it up when it's sweaty actually works better than when it's clean. It's a little bit of work, but at least it looks polished. Maybe you should suggest that if your dad is cold that he put an extra blanket on instead of bumping the thermostat. -
Hegemone said on Aug 04, 2009....
Uni - Well, my hair got really sweaty last night, and I usually do wear it up in a pony tail, but this morning when I brushed through it, it just looked more greasy than polished looking if you know what I mean. At least the pony tail part wasn't too bad, I sort of washed it a little bit just to be able to fluff it out so my whole damn head didn't look like a lost cause. It's OK, I'm solving this problem, I'm hacking it all off tonight I think. Flat iron here we come! Oh, and I have got to laugh at telling my dad to use an extra blanket, lmao ... that'd go over about as well as telling him to go fuck himself, you know? Lol. Although ... could be fun.

well I was going to suggest you superglue the thermostat, but I thought that might be pushing it too far ;)short hair?!!! EEEEeeee! I'd love to see how it turns out. -

Can you remember that post recently about if we have a celebrity who we really want to kick the crap out of? Well I said i couldn't think of anyone that I hated enough to actually want to do that to.
CHANGED MY MIND!! I know he's not a celebrity but I REALLY wanna kick the crap outta your dad!!!!! Right, now that's off my chest. How come Hege, you're not sitting in a padded room? How do you do it? I would be up on a charge by now. You are one incredibale woman and I don't think you even realise it!
I like your idea uni about the super glue ha ha! I'd like to super glue him into his quilt then he'd be friggin warm! Hey, Hege, if I put a flame under his arse do you think he'd be warm enough?. . . .So sorry you have to put up with this crap babes.
Here's some cool hugs with little snow flakes in them :-)

I am trying hard to seel sorry for you about the heat in your bedroom at night, but considering that it was 120 three days ago, high 80s every night now and the high 90s untill 3 in the morning... all I can say is "misery loves company"!
-
Hegemone said on Aug 04, 2009....
Uni - Heh, yeah I had thought about doing that with the thermostat, or something else anyway. The jury is still out on that though. Oh the short hair will be awesome. I'll do so much more with it.
PC - Ha, well by all means, I'd love for somebody to kick the crap out of my dad just to teach his ass a lesson. When we move out I just might do it myself, lol. I myself haven't figured out how I haven't gotten locked up or otherwise, but he surely is trying my patience lately. I find that just walking away is helping me not come up with criminal charges. Heh, you could superglue him into his quilt and then light it on fire, maybe then he'd be warm enough, te he he. Thank you for the cool hug. Ahhh, feels so good! ((((((((HUG)))))))
Mixed - Well your statement is close enough to true, my dad is trying to pull us in for company anyway.

CreativeWoman said on Aug 04, 2009....
Hege,
Why not get one of those oscillating fans to help circulate the air in your room? They might even be on clearance this time of year. If you can't beat him head on, find a back way. :-)
I hope you are feeling better.

Hegemone said on Aug 04, 2009....
CW - Yeah, that's the horrible part ... in our room we have a box fan and an oscillating fan, and it STILL gets that hot. That's why I was so frustrated because it's like 'What else can we do?' We were talking about getting a, well I guess you call it a space AC (like a space heater). We don't have conventional windows and getting a window unit wouldn't work because of dad, but we CAN get the other kind. Just need to price them out. -

Hate it when someone else has control of the thermostat!They always have it either 100 plus or 100 below!Good luck on the job hunting!"Eagle" -

I was going to post how I slept like a baby last night and how refreshed and energised I was beacuse of it. I won't because it'll only make you jealous ....Much :)Sorry I'm just having too much fun right now. I reackon you should get together with CW and her hubby. I'll bring some stocks and you and CW can bring the rotten tomatoes :P -
Hegemone said on Aug 04, 2009....
Eagle - Yeah, I know. Unfortunately my dad is one of those 100 plus types too, which just kills me. I like it somewhere in the middle, lol. Thank you!
Bozo - Hey ... no fair you getting sleep! Just kidding, heh, what with the weekend you had, I think you deserved it. Now, in as far as getting together with CW, oh yeah, lol, that could be arranged ... oh the evil times we could have. I'd even bring some rotten cucumbers!

Why go sleep with the lizards? Dont hate. Though the hate is very cool in the hot weather. -
hotaka said on Aug 04, 2009....
I might almost post a blog about hot and sweaty nights and ACs. I might. I can relate to you and the sleepless sweaty nights. If it was because of sex it might be worth it but it's just hot and humid.
I might post about that. If I have time tonight.
Winter is coming. I keep telling myself by November things will cool down.

Hope things get better for you.... ♥ .... Rc -
Hegemone said on Aug 05, 2009....
Dig - Well, I meant that my dad needs to do so ... since he seems to be cold blooded like them, they could perhaps give him a few tips instead of us boiling in our sleep. That's all.
Hot - Well I'll keep an eye out for that post. I keep looking longingly towards winter myself. I can much more easily and comfortably warm up than I can to cool down, and yeah, lol, if it did have something to do with sex I'd be more tolerant too!
RC - Thank you. :-)

Aw, that bites! I went four days without AC a few months ago and thought I would go insane--especially after coming home from a job without benefit of AC. Give Dad a gentle hint with a quilt. Besides, it's much easier to sleep when cold than hot. It knocks me right out.Hope your boss gets off your back. It's no fun with someone second guessing your every move.
-
Hegemone said on Aug 05, 2009....
Jade - Yeah, and that would definitely suck. And it'd be a totally different thing if the AC broke or whatnot. Heh, and with my dad, the way he is ... it wouldn't matter, and he has a quilt too, that was the bad part. He's just a jerk that way (heh, you'll see that if you get around to any old posts of mine). Thanks for stopping in!
