Smells like Rain

often go to hell or at least a place with a very similar temperature." Wait, that's not how that quote goes.

I expected to spend yesterday finally catching up on some chores. I'm behind and slowly catching up. I'm still waking up tired, without any energy whatsoever, despite how many hours I sleep. This has made getting through each day (what's left of them) very difficult. Yesterday I did wake up late after not being able to sleep; however, I didn't feel as weak as usual. So I got up and started to get to work. My plan was to feed Aaliyah, eat, and then get to cleaning. Just as I was mixing her food, almost ready to heat things up, the power flickered.

My Brain: "What the... Oh, at least the power didn't go ou-ahh, damn it."

It was about 2:45pm. It was at least 105 degrees out. To say I was hot as hell would be an understatement. Seriously, it was horrible. For some reason keeping my windows open doesn't help much with getting some nice air in unless it's super windy out, so I tend to have the air on more than I'd like. Aaliyah and I were miserable. Okay, she was upset as soon as she found out she wouldn't be able to eat the food I was making, the heat was just extra. In fact, she said she would make it when I said I couldn't, lol. After going through a few foods she finally agreed to an orange instead.
We did take off to the pool for a little while to cool off. Luckily (for them) most people were still at work so it wasn't crowded. I did consider going to my brother's house (he recently got into his first house and mortgage) but their power was out too! I spotted a neighbor in his car listening to music. Too bad my a/c compressor doesn't work or that would have been an awesome idea. Power was slowly restored in sections of town, little by little, so we were able to head out to the store by 8. Usually I hate walking into this store (some of the people are rude, customers included, lol), yet after enduring all of those horrible hours of eat, it was like ~heaven~ . LOL. Seriously, it was a relief. Even when the cashier was an ass I couldn't be too mad under the air conditioner. I'm not sure exactly when my apartment had life again, it was back on by the time we got home.

Since I couldn't vacuum, wash and dry laundry (some people were in the laundry room when it happened), and the kitchen and bathroom were too dark to clean; I really didn't get much done. It was a struggle to put up the clean laundry. Plus I had things to catch up with online (this wasn't the blog I planned to type, lol) which obviously couldn't be done. Oh, and so much for cooking instead of eating out again. Ugh. Whatever. Yesterday sucked. It's a new day, that's what should matter.
Actually the new day started 5 hours ago and I've yet to sleep... Yeah, this day's not starting off too well.
