In the dark with sweating cheese

So... I worked for 9 and a half hours straight today, no chance to eat breakfast or lunch. I did, however, manage several glasses of water.

When I finally finished the critical tasks I'd been doing all day, my usual ten-minute drive home took 45 minutes because it's sort of sprinkling, and a major intersection was on flashing red lights.

When I get home, the door is unlocked (and my husband isn't home yet.) Also, the house is swelteringly hot. I was completely convinced that there was a rapist/murderer inside waiting for me, and I literally had 911 already on my cellphone with my thumb on the Talk button while I carefully searched the whole house.

Back to the swelteringly hot thing: the air conditioner has apparently gone out. Texas in August, this means it's 88 degrees inside the house.

So I'm eating cheese and crackers to finally get some food in my stomach, and I'm doing so in the dark to avoid even the slightest additional lightbulb heat. I am, on the other hand, willing to have one computer on.

And the cheese is sweating profusely.
