It was 80 degrees before 8 o'clock today. Mom wants me to clean granny's basement (it's my crap down there).

Say a prayer for me. I will be dead.

Well, the basement will probably be the coolest place in the house....

Stay hydrated, and good luck!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah and we ended up upstairs and then we decided 'screw this' and went home

I'm a grumpy atheist, so I will raise a glass of chilly Belgian beer to your heroic sacrifice instead. I suggest you have a cold drink too, should you survive.

I'm guessing this is not the cold, damp kind of basement?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the Belgian beer only works if I get to drink it.

we ended up saying screw the basement and worked on the upstairs.

it's an earthen basement which SHOULD be damp and cold but somehow isn't

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

l'm raising a glass to your heroic death?

Glad to hear it. Sorry basement isn't cold, though.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha more like a whiney-assed death but I'll take it.

it's got spiders too

...at least it's a basement...?

I may take the laptop upstairs tonight and to the AC. I was melting last night.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

we ended up in the upstairs and died after an hour

i can't blame you. this utterly blows. Back home the weather channel keeps saying is 95+. YIKES

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Oh, geeze!

It's not so bad now, but the wind is blowing nicely through the front windows.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well that's something

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

It's stalled now.

But the cicadas are going....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's just adding insult to injury

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Heh. Well, yes.

[enemytosleep]

I am currently dead. It is ridiculous outside.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I gave up and moved back indoors. It's just plain freaking ugly out there

[havocmangawip.livejournal.com]

It is disgusting here too. I feel your pain. We have no AC.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i had three years of that hell in Florida

[havocmangawip.livejournal.com]

No AC in FL? No freaking way! I got laughed at when I moved to CA, San Bernardino in the Inland Empire to be exact, when I asked, "Do all the apartments have AC?"

Well I f'ng hope so! There were MANY days all summer that were up above 100.

I'm a big fan of fans... just got a new window fan and wearing as few clothes as possible. The poor neighbors get to see me in tank tops and boxer shorts if I'm not going anywhere.

(I MAY get an AC yet this summer! A little 5000BTU window unit, 98 bucks... but OH gosh wouldn't that be great?)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

evil_little_dog had no a/c. she made me sit on towels because let me just say I freaking sweat like a horse. I do like fans too

yes that would be great. good luck
