I relate a lot to this. I also think I have Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder which is apparently meant to be common with ADHD. It takes hours to wake up if I get up before midday, it's so annoying

Yeh I woke up at 3am and had to close all my windows because of it. Checking now, my particulate matter sensor went crazy then
They're laughing at our suffering
An electrical safety check happened a few months ago. I remember they pointed out the switchboard, but it looks like nothing happened of it. I will 100% follow this up with the landlord.
Water got into it. It kept popping and had smoke pop out of it each time (one time fire). It had melted a bunch of plastic and despite being dry it would keep smoking, so that's why we got an electrician. It's no longer smoking so I guess it wasn't completely dry last I checked. I did also clean the socket myself as it had a bunch of grease(?) and weird gunk inside it, so maybe that helped?
Is it safe as it is right now?
Hahaha, probably not. It's a power outlet next to the sink and it has huge gaps where it meets the tile wall. Don't know how this is the first time I got water in it, but it'll probably happen again at some point.
Power's back. It's working now, but the electrician didn't need to do anything... Was too expensive to replace power socket so it's just sitting there all covered in soot. Hopefully will get a quote for the switchboard and haggle to landlord to deal with it. Honestly, too tired to give a shit.
Thanks everyone for reading me rant yesterday. I got some helpful responses and it really meant a lot to me as I was quite distressed then. This is a nice little community, I love it here :)
Kitty, because I like cats and GPU go brrrr
The cool breeze is slowly cooling down the place. Already broken yesterday's low :)
Still, would be nice to be a little colder for sleep, but I'll take all the wins I can get
Edit: wait nvm I can't read. It's still insanely hot, it just feels so much colder than it is for some reason
Also, I didn't quite capture the peak indoor temperature as I only powered on my indoor weather station with a battery just an hour ago, but even then it measured 35Β°C. A new indoor record, much higher than the last one (~33.5). which is absolutely crazy.
Tonight's going to be delightful. There's no wind to blow cool air and my place is chilling at 34.3 with no power. Electrical work has been rescheduled to tomorrow morning so my food has/will spoil. I have to do laundry and get scripts done tonight. I've blown the budget on a cold drinks only woolies order for tomorrow, hopefully I'll have power by then ππ
