I turned on my air conditioning for the first time yesterday because it was hot. About halfway through the day, I realized it wasn't doing very much even though I could feel air falling on me from the vents. I had noticed a week or two ago when I went to pull weeds on my patio that the cover was off the a/c unit but didn't think anything of it. Well, the fact that it's torn in half and the insulation around the wiring to the house is all messed up made a little more sense when my mom told me there's been a string of copper wiring robberies around here lately. I don't know if that's what happened or if it's just busted, but considering the heat worked all winter and the previous owners lived here right until I moved in, the former seems more likely. The first holiday I've gotten off this year is around the first days when it's really starting to get warm, and my air conditioning doesn't work because some assholes had to make a quick buck. Awesome.

Add the third ant infestation I've had this year on top of that and I'm having kind of a frustrating weekend. Oh well.

I did get to go shopping and see family on Saturday, though, so that makes up for it. I also finished my capelette and started a new project last night, so there are still good things going on. Hopefully I can see more of my Reno friends soon too.

Eh, I don't really want to get into anything else right now. I'm going to go mope for a while until I figure out what to do. Happy fourth of July anyway.

Copper wiring robberies? Really? It seems like something that wouldn't be worth the chance of getting caught for as much as it would take to get any money out of it. I guess that's why I don't lead a life of crime.

Sorry your weekend was frustrating. I hope the rest of your week goes better.

Ha, yeah, I couldn't really be a criminal either. They steal it to sell to the recycling plant. Last year, my dad, who works with this kind of stuff, had a lot of copper wiring laying out, and some guys tried to steal the whole spool! Ridiculous. Doesn't seem worth it to me.

Also, now we're not so sure what happened? I have a heating guy coming tomorrow to look at it and see if it was messed with or if it's just busted. Still frustrating, but it will be okay. Thanks!
