Moving During a Massive Heat Wave
I knew a move in the summer would be awful, especially a move to Florida, but I didn't count on a heat wave of such majestic proportions. A heat wave that is breaking records in state after state. A heat wave that makes the news every night with a death toll. I have been slowly packing up my house for several weeks, but the real crunch came last week. Just about the time the heat wave began. I began wearing my "Don't Panic" button even on my PJ's. We do not have air conditioning just now. Everywhere I look, it's empty, it's a mess, and the windows are open hoping for a breath of cool air. In vain. Then I get a call from my contractor. "What? July 29th your moving in? You sent an email Aug 29th." Oops. It takes five days to order carpet and then time to install it in three rooms. We will make it with a few hours to spare. I also forgot to send him my sample color. Now I must trust computer color....
