The week before we leave...

Where do I begin. I've been doing so well planning everything that I thought this week heading up to our departure would actually run very smoothly, I was wrong! Very WRONG!  It has just been a non-stop avalanche all week.
Disclaimer:  I am very aware that people all over this country and in many other countries live ever day of their life without the luxuries we are privy too. I am not complaining in the following story, just merely stating fact. 


First my AC unit went out Monday,  and my landlord said it would be Friday before a new one could be installed. Its HOT! It's REALLY HOT! I seriously thought I was going to melt the first night Briana, 3 dogs, a cat, and I slept in the house with only 2 boxes fans. Yes, you read that right!  After doing that I made other arrangements. I planned on sleeping at the office on the air mattress but, God has other plans. A huge storm hit the next night and knocked the electric out on the street where the office is. FUN! no electric, no fans, no air, oh joy! Briana and I went back to the house and slept another night, and we indeed melted. Have you ever been stuck to your sheets. Yep, we were, most definitely stuck to our sheets. OK,OK, now you'd think that would be the worst of it, right? WRONG! The electric finally came back on the next day at the office so we were seriously excited about being able to sleep with air conditioning. While all of this AC business is going on, stuff at my job is just blowing up in my face. Caregivers acting funny, having issues, and clients making unreasonable demands. I'm trying to hold it all together and honestly, I must admit, I was doing a pretty darn good job, until this morning. I am driving around this morning and oh know, what's that, my car's heat gage goes up to HOT! Oh fun, so now I'm going to have to take my car in for service, I think I'll just leave it at the shop while I'm gone. 


Did I mention that I have a million things to do that I haven't been able to do because I can't be home longer then 5 minutes because it's 110 degrees inside my house.
