The AC is busted again. Dad says he and Grandpa will fix it—like they did last time. Ugh. KMN.

Already 85 degrees in here! Got to over 100 in the house last time this happened. God, I hate this.

Hungry, too hot to eat. Might try Mom’s gazpacho (Campbell’s tomato soup + cold milk). RIP, Mom.

AGH! That milk had TURNED! Almost left it in the fridge for Dad to get, but I poured it down the sink instead. #ValiantDaughter

Stripped down to shorts and bra. Can’t stand anything more than that. Might die anyway. No judgment, haters.

Dad and Grandpa still haven’t fixed the AC. Ran out of bottled water, resorting to tap. #Gross #Minerals #GagMe

Beeping power is out. I swear, if those two idiots did something…

Not my dad’s fault. Power out for whole block. Perfect. Just…perfect. #FML

Dad and Grandpa are fighting over whether we can go up to my grandparents’ place until the power comes back. Spoiler alert: Dad’s not going to win.
