What a Week

 It was one of those weeks where somethings went right but others went wrong! I don't remember what days things happened on, gets a bit blurry!

The summer has really started, over 30C everyday and high humidity, so I get up early to get David's and Christopher's breakfast, about 4:30, after that I do whatever housework I can get done.  I'm really trying to keep things clean.  By about 8am it is already too hot, especially in the rooms that don't have air conditioners.  The other morning I was washing dishes when I felt my feet were getting wet, the sink was leaking.  David managed to fix the pipe, but it is just bound with tape so I'm wondering how long it will last.  At least the floor got a good cleaning!

I decided to get a new air conditioner.  The one in my room wasn't working at all, it was over 15 years old.  I went to one store that had cheap units but the plugs were wrong and to get an adaptor would take 2 to 3 weeks.  I can't wait that long, I need sleep.  Even though it gets a few degrees cooler at night the humidity is still very high! I fall asleep only to wake up a couple of hours later soaked in sweat, very uncomfortable.  It was installed on Friday, I was looking forward to a good nights sleep.  But of course that didn't happen.  Woke up at 3am with my nose dripping, I then started to sneeze which went on for about 4 hours, I used two boxes of tissues!  Saturday was really bad, I had to change my lessons I was that sick!

We also had a really incredible thunderstorm.  Poor cats were freaked out, I wasn't doing much better.  David and I drove to the city to pick up Hannah, she has a long walk from the university to the train station.  I'm glad we went because the storm was really over head when we picked her up.  One airport had to close because lightning had hit the runway making a hole!

At to that cockroach fights, stepping in cat pee or vomit and chasing the cats when they escape it has been a crazy week!
