bonstrosityI woke up at 1pm, because I was sweating all over my pillow. Grandma was sleeping, and I said 'fuck it'. And I turned on the AC. I set my alarm for one hour later, so I'd wake up and turn it off.
She comes in 45 minutes into that, wakes me up, says "Ain't it time to turn that off" as a statement.
I said, "no".
She said "I'm freezing. How am I going to pay the electric bill?"
And the kicker of that?
She then explained that the bill went from 105... to... wait for it...
112.
Yes. That's right. It went up 7 dollars. When the temperature averaged 10-15 degrees hotter than the month before.
My god. A whole 7 fucking dollars.
So you know what? I laughed. I LAUGHED. Because jesus christ. I cannot win. And told her "You can't wait 15 minutes?"
"No I can't"
But she damn well did anyway. Because I went back to dozing, but between the extreme rage making my jaw clench and fighting the distinct urge to punch a wall, I could not go back to sleep.
So 3 minutes before the alarm was going to go off, I turned it off.
It is now warm again. As that was 3 hours ago. And guess what? It's 101 degrees here right now.
Can't believe I thought it was hot with such cool temperatures.

I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday. And you know what? I'm asking for a higher dose of prozac. Because I've been putting that off for most of this year, as I have ups and downs. But dude. I don't deal with stress at ALL well. Like, I freak the fuck out.
So we'll see.
HUMBUG.
