The a/c and hot water heater are working! Turns out MLGW didn’t fully restore my power after the outage, leaving some appliances (the 220 or 240 volt ones, I can’t recall, my mind is mush) inoperable. MLGW fixed the issue yesterday, and now I’m just waiting for the house to restore to its normal frigid temperature. The a/c was out for four days though, all told, so apparently it’s taking a while to cool back down. Funny that a thermostat reading nearly 80 degrees is enough for me to consider “cool.” But, hey! I’ll take it!
More good news: my neighbor who was also affected by the downed tree offered to haggle about insurance claims on our behalf with the tree owners. I might get that limb removed and fence replaced after all. Fingers crossed, and then those fingers crossed, and then arms crossed. With a cross look on my face and hot cross buns for breakfast.
Christ almighty, what a fucking run. I was going to offer my couch to you if your AC didn’t get running soon. It’s brutal out there.
Hopefully the science fair fuckfaces will take it easy on you from now on.
