melting! (and a good bit of venting)

Okay, so anyone who knows me knows that I'm usually cold. Well not in my apartment lately! Geez but it wasn't this bad when I moved in in August. I mean starting around 3/ 3:30 to about 11 or 12 at night and even a bit later, it is horrid. I mean, I've taken to putting cold water in the tub and standing in it. I'm sleeping on the sofa with two fans blowing on me! It's bad because for me to be comfortable enough temperature wise to sleep, I'm uncomfortable with all the air blowing on me and waking up unable to breath. This has been going on for probably at least two weeks. The apt. people say they checked things out and then called ac people. The apt. people are now saying that nothing is wrong with the ac and that people had been there three times. They said they were there around 10 this morning. Well it hasn't been bad until starting around 3 when the sun really starts coming in. I mean, even if it got hot when the sun was right on it, shouldn't the apt cool down pretty quickly once the sun went down? The other day I was sweating and stood right under a vent. I reached my hand up and felt the air. Then I walked over to the fan set on low and put my hand in front of it. No real difference in either temperature or force of air flow. I get cranky when I'm over heated. I'm cranky that I'm not getting any sleep. I'm cranky that I can't study in my own apt in the evening because it's too hot to think. I'm cranky because I'm sick of not even being able to bear to nuke a hot pocket because it's so hot and miserable in the apt. I'm cranky that this whole this is making me feel miserable and messing with my studying. I paid for an apt with a/c and now I'm thinking an unairconditioned one with my little window unit would have been more comfortable.


It's just sketchy because it got a bit warm when we moved in (in AUGUST!) and kept opening the door, but it cooled down once we shut the door. And now I have the insulating curtains so you'd think things would be cooler!

Grrr. . . back to trying to play catch-up.


UPDATE:
The apt. went to the apt. in the afternoon and said that the air coming from the vents was warm. Yeah, the person they had and paid to come in three times apparently didn't do anything and the apt. people never thought to check the person's work. Now they're trying step by ever so minuscule step to fix it. Meanwhile the heat index in 100.

    I'm guessing you find the blog relaxing? :-)
