I’m taking the day off, sort of. The new category will house posts like this one. Hopefully, there won’t be many of them.

The past 5 days, our A/C has been dead. It’s August in New Orleans, which means 90+ degrees and 80+ humidity. Not fun for the humans, but even tougher on the animals.

The betta was the toughest. Several daily water changes in his 3 gallon emergency downstairs tank did the trick. (His regular tank is 20 gallons and there’s no way I’m draining that thing so I could move it to a cooler room!) Even with this, I had to melt ice cubes in the water filter to get the water closer to his comfort zone.

The cat was miserable, but soon found that laying on a cool damp towel was better than boiling.

My husband enjoyed an excuse to eat lots of ice cream, smoothies, and iced coffee drinks.

Uh, I think I need a nap at this point.

Thank goodness for air conditioning, and for the new A/C guy, who isn’t creepy like the last one! This blog will be back on track tomorrow, barring any more major monkey show issues around here
