OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!

Notice the price difference in just 10 days. So it's my birthday today. I suggest people who are thinking of buying something for me to consider a free gas card!!!

What's up with these crazy gas prices?

Today marks my first pump of $4+ per gallon gas. Oh my wallet hurts!

Good Tea

If you like floral blends...

Yum!

Fortnum & Mason Macadamia Nut shortbread... so fattening but it's so good!

Cool Air Finally!!!

So my AC finally got fixed today, but it was not without hurdles though (and why can't things be smooth-sailing for once??). So I borrowed the key from one of the Board members and when the tech came we went up to the roof right away. Tried to open the door with the key and... it wouldn't open! I was thinking 'Oh crap not again!' Called the guy on the Board about the key, and he didn't know what to do cos' that's the only key he got and he actually just got it from the management company a few weeks ago and apparently nobody tried it. He made a few phone calls for me. The tech and I just waited in the stairway and chit-chatted for 20 minutes. Finally someone from the management company called back and said if we can break the lock, just go ahead and break it and they'll get a locksmith to repair it later. Errrr... ok... What the heck but if you say so...
The tech used all his force to turn the handle and... voila! It opened! He spent another hour repairing and finally it was fixed! I'm so happy now, after three weeks of steaming in my 'sauna room'! Kudos to Jose for breaking the lock and fixing the AC for me! I can finally enjoy some nice cool air now! (And you know what I'll be bitching about in my letter to the management company!)

Please fix my AC!!!

For the first time in 3 weeks, my room temperature has dropped to 80°F (even though it's 57°F outside), but yay!!! At least it didn't feel as hot! Room temp had been 85°F+ and it was quite uncomfortable! Well the tech is coming again tomorrow and I got the key to the roof this time! Hope he can get it fixed!

Post Wisdom Teeth Extraction - Days 13 & 14

It's been 2 weeks already! This is probably the last post about my wisdom teeth since it's pretty much the same these days. Just waiting for that last socket to heal. I went to the oral surgeon today for follow up. He looked at it for 30 seconds and that was it. He said it doesn't look like there is an infection, so just wait till it heals! Oh well! I was really not that happy with this surgeon and his clinic, but I'm glad this is over.
As for the AC, the tech came this morning, checked out the thing, then he said he need to check the unit on the roof. Went up the stairs and found out the door is locked! We checked 3 doors, the other 2 going to different sections of the building, and they were both unlocked, only the one we need is locked!!! WTF! I called the management company and they said this needs to be scheduled with them in advance (preferably more than 1 week notice)! Now I have to endure this heat for another week (or two), AND I have to pay the AC company twice because I have to pay for the tech to come out today even though nothing much was done! The bill is $89!!! I told the management company and they say I can write to the HOA and request for the fee to be reimbursed although there is no guarantee that the request will be granted. I'll be sure to write to them and bitch and complain about this. I only have three words to say now:
FREAKING PISSED OFF!!!
