Do not shout to whatever random deity may be listening, "Can you please throw a little more shit at me? Please?" Because, the answer is "Yes." It can always get worse.
DH and I hopped in the car today to run an errand. About 30 seconds after we pulled out of the driveway, the A/C stopped blowing cold air. It wasn't even blowing lukewarm air. It was blowing HOT air.
At about the same time, the thermometer on our patio was reading 110.
Of course, this happened at about 4:30--when no repair shop in the world was willing to take us. So we will be A/C-free until at least Monday.
And I have an interview on Monday. There is no way in hell I can drive 25 miles to an interview without A/C when it is 100+ outside. It would not be a pretty picture once I arrived. Fortunately, the interview is just with a recruiter, so I have emailed to see if we can reschedule for later in the week.
The rest of the day was pretty good. We hung with the kids all day and then went to see fireworks. (Where we were rained on by soot and bits of shell the entire time--I think the random deity is still punishing me. But the show was great.)

In 99 I had an interview in Tampa FL in July for a legal secretary job for the PD's office. I had come from Illinois and was so sweaty in FL. I took my hose, silk shirt, and skirt with me and changed in the bathroom so I wouldn't have to travel in those clothes and be drenched. I checked in for the interview and the first thing that happened was that we had to walk a block to another building. So much for not being sweaty.
That suuuuccckkks. :( I'm sorry, girl. God's testing me over here, too. Hope your A/C is fixed quickly and inexpensively!
