Curse Never Ends

Wake up at 4 AM covered in sweat. My air conditioner is running, but no cold air is coming from the vent. Great, and I have no money to pay a repairman who charges extra on weekends and evenings. Now I have to worry about my cats dying from heat strokes. Room temperature above 80 degree can trigger heat stress with cats. My room is 78 with the A/C running. I turn it off and when I wake up again, room is 79. Open windows to let the cool air in and run the ceiling fans. When heat starts to hit, I shut the windows. Did my walk around local park trail. Wiped off the sweat with a wet washcloth to cool myself. Room is now 82. Have to get to work and I text message my roommate since I hven't seen him all day. No, he is not home. I don't know if he came home after work since he said I didn't have to pick him. He hasn't worked all week until last night, does he work there anymore? He says he still has his job and staying with a friend he knew working at one of his jobs before he met me. His wife left him so I guess roommate is being the supportive friend. I reply, "OK". He didn't even say goodbye. Start picking up sticks and a huge tree branch that fell in my driveway that my roommate moved into the yard. I have to move it to towards the street cause the city is goign to pick up storm debri on Monday.

Make to work and worry all night about my cats getting overheated with nobody home to help them if they get in distress. I cried clocking in and then wiped away the tears cause nobody cares about me. They just want funny stories as if my life was their soap opera. We are oversold at the hotel as usual and people complaining about their rooms. One left because of mold on the wall and we had no room to move them to. They left the hotel. Then had a guest complain someone vomited in the pool and another complained their kid cut their foot near a light. Great.

Returned home and room temperature is 86. Find cats and they are fine. One takes a drink of water. Put ice in their water bowls as I change them. Start running the fans. Best thing for heat is water. I volunteered at a living history museum and took the heat by drinking water. I am drinking ice water to keep from getting overheated.
