Day 116 (air conditioning saga)

When BSM woke me up at 4:30 this morning, it was way too hot in the apartment. I checked the thermostat, which was set to 21 and measuring 26. Not good. When I got up for real at 8, the thermostat was reading 27. I checked our fuse box outside, which ha a built-in timer, and saw that the a/c was set to run on the timer, rather than always being on. The timer was set to be on between 10pm and 1am, explaining why the apartment started to cool off when we got back, but stopped in the middle of the night. Or so I thought.

I flipped the switch to "permanently on" and went on my merry way. I dropped BSM at daycare, ate breakfast, and came back to an apartment that was still a stubborn 27°C. Bum bum bum. I asked Ozzie who to call, he got back to me, and I got in touch with them.

Gosh, that sounds like it was all the work of two minutes! Ha ha. It wasn't: it took all afternoon. But the good news is that in the end of it all, our air conditioner worked once more. Hooray!
