Ok ok, no pictures. Whatevs.
We moved all our stuff in last weekend, and have finally been able to get settled. We really like our apartment, aside from the fact that our A/C has been out for the entire weekend. When it is continuously 100 degrees with a heat index of 110, it is not a comfortable place to be. Plus, we don't have curtains in the living room yet so the sun just beams in from about noon til 4.
We got home Saturday night and discovered it had not been working, and could barely sleep because it was so sticky. So Sunday after church we called the landlord and he said he'd get someone over soon as he could, but probably not til Monday. To escape the heat we packed some stuff up and went back to the Professor's apartment (we had been squatting there until we found our own place. He's still out of the country so we just went on back over). While there I experimented and made an eggplant parmesan. Overall good, but I think I overcooked the eggplant, it was a little too mushy for me.
Monday we headed back to our place and worked on cleaning up. We were hoping to have our first shot at hosting, so we were aiming to have everything put away, or at least out of sight. They fixed out AC and we were running it on full blast to get the place cooled off before our friends came over. Well, then, I walked into the second bedroom and a puddle of water came up under my feet. Evan took a look and sure enough the AC thingy was leaking. The whole closet was wet. And back off it went! After an hour the apartment was up to 90 degrees- and we left, once again, for the Professor's. No hosting for now. Thank goodness we have somewhere to go, because I don't know what we would do otherwise.
I was trying to think what I did back when I didn't have AC. Well that was in Vancouver, and 1) it doesn't get nearly as warm and 2) we could open the windows at night because it cooled down. Here, not so much. Hopefully, we will get everything straightened out soon.
PS- Happy August folks!!
