06/17/2005: "Need. Coffee. Now"


I have blog guilt for not posting yesterday. My husband was rear-ended in his new Jeep. My air conditioner is broke--again. I'm out of coffee. Barely coherent.

I can probably complain more, but that would take effort, and in this heat, I just can't muster up the strength, seeing how I'm using one hand to type and one to wipe the rivers of sweat running down my face.

Seems strange that I'd want coffee. Iced coffee would be even better. Except I don't have coffee. And the ice would melt instantly in this inferno.

Did I mention it's HOT??????

Must get back to revisions now. I only have 3000 words to add! *laughs hysterically*

Need. Coffee.

Panic! Panic! No coffee!! I'm getting twitchy for you. I hope your hubby is okay, that your air conditioner is fixed soon, and your revisions continue smoothly. If I could be any superhero, I'd use my powers to deliver coffee to ensure no writer EVER ran out of coffee!! Especially writers stuck in revision hell.

Is your husband okay? Yikes. And no a/c? I'd move to ... well, where I am. It's COLD. Come on over. I have coffee, too.

AAAAHHHHH! OK, the inner circle of hell is where writers in a heat wave without AC do revisions with no coffee.

Aiiieee. I hope the heat wave breaks, your AC gets fixed and you get all the coffee you need.

I'm with you on the no A/C thing, Larissa. Ours has been out for the entire month of June. I'm not a happy camper and it's not fun. Can't imagine doing revisions at the same time (somehow, drafting is easier, LOL). Hope yours is fixed soon! big grin

We've been without air conditioning for a week now. Thank God for ceiling fans! And the repairman still hasn't shown up today! Grrr...

But in the meantime, here's some virtual frappuccino for ya.

Oh God, I'd have to check into a hotel. No air conditioning?

Oh God.

LOL, you guys! The AC thing was horrid, but it's fixed now. But I still don't have coffee. I'll head to Jill's while sucking down Michelle's frappucino...

Michelle, I feel for you! crying

I was walking across the parking lot of my local grocery store the other day and nearly fried on the way to my car. I wanna know who the idiot is that made tarmac black? sleepy

(((to the hubster)) and his new jeep and good luck with the revisions!!!!!

Sorry about your husband's jeep. And I can relate to the heat. We went all last summer with no air. It was awful.

Good luck with the revisions!! You can do it.

As a coffee addict, I so feel your pain!!! Argh! How did you make it through the day? crazy oh, and, sorry about your husband's jeep. Hope he wasn't hurt. sad

Larissa,

I'm sorry about DH, but I'm mostly sorry about the coffee thing. crying I'm an addict, so you have my deepest sympathies!

Hugs,

Tanya

And when will we get the Hell visual for this one? *g*

Sorry to hear about your husband's accident (hope he's okay!), your lack of coffee (ARGH!) and the broken A/C. Please don't melt on us.

When we were going thru our heatwave last week (& the week before) all the fans accomplished was to blow around hot air. The apartment felt like one giant converction oven. :-P I chuckled when I read Cece's post because one of the reasons it took us a couple of days to get the new a/c unit was the mere thought of trudging across an unshaded football field sized parking lot. ::shudder:: :crazysadwe don't have a car, so that's the walk from the bus-stop to the store entry. Never mind standing at the bus stop.....) sad

Cece--black asphalt is EVIL!!!!!

ALL last summer, Teresa??? I'd die.

Beth, Tanya...ah, fellow addicts... big grin

Lynn, hell visual coming up! smile

OMG, Jaq! Would you have had to carry the a/c unit home, too?? Aren't they huge?

on Saturday, June 18th, Teresa said

Yikes on your dh's accident! No fun.

Your A/C is on the blink?? Arrgggh.

Won't even touch the "no coffee" - too horrible to consider. Sending you cyber chocolate (dark) to help perk you up.

Hope things are better today. And that those 3000 words just flow from your fingertips.

Oh, it's being very hot in here. Over 100 degrees and the humidity... well, let's not go there.
