It's gonna be 39C (102.2f) and we don't have an aircon fuckkk I hate Australian summers. Especially since, at least here, it's humid af as well.
#personal#vent#it's 29C today and I'm barely able to function im gonna die tomorrow#plan is to wake up at the asscrack of dawn and go somewhere that does have aircon all day#we can't even fix it ourselves because it's not our house and we don't have permission to like come on#like the mall or something#or the supermarket#just turning around in the frozen food department like a rotisserie chicken to be cooled down instead of heated#There's some places i can sit down and vibe that have at least some aircon#better than none#also fuck our real estate for refusing to fix stuff because it costs them money and they want to “”wait“” to be able to pay it#it's fucking summer and we're quite literally toast while they want to save more for christmas#like bruh#y'all are already rich as fuck at least pay off the investment of SHELTER YOU PROVIDE FOR VERY HIGH PRICES#when honestly shelter should be free but damn gotta buy that extra fucking ham or toy train set lest it spoil christmas#like damn imagine having a low key Christmas to save money while actually paying your bills it's almost like thats always us and for what#so y'all can complain you have it hard that we pay for your shit then act surprised you gotta maintain the thing we pay for??#asshats probably don't even look at their electricity bill and ration the damn aircon and fans as if using too much means losing them ffs#anyway fuck the rich and this system that is centred around making basic shelter a commodity#rent is such a fucking scam and buying is like owning a black hole to throw your living expenses into if you dare to own your own shelter#housing should be free and this cabalistic capitalist system is a fucking nightmare#anyway back to the og point lol#it's fucking hot and i want winter back#Australian winters are so mild and great its like spring in other countries i think#spring here is also a nightmare of rain heatwaves and cold fighting in a parking lot so it's not nice here#but winter??#nice and cool and mild#wish it was always less than 23C all the time that'd be amazing#i don't remember what that is in fahrenheit but yeah

OC Christmas Eve/Christmas morning/Christmas day headcanons.
Christmas Eve
-Roberto goes to Christmas Mass. Normally with Chelo and Angelino in either Tijuana or San Diego. Sometimes he’s with Sam in San Antonio, but its pretty much a requirement for him.
-Martha goes out to see the lights, rain or not. There’s something peaceful about walking alone yet surrounded by the feeling of the season, feeling at peace, with lights illuminating every step of the way.
-Beverly and Charlotte like to stay in. They drink fancy cocoa, read poetry, and just stay close to each other. It’s a time to be cozy and content.
Christmas Morning
-Clark is still a five year old deep down somewhere inside. While he’s not gonna leap on your bed screaming “IT’S FUCKING CHRISTMAS!”, Adam pretty much gets awoken at the asscrack of dawn. Just cause his presents are more grown-up now means nothing. Chris bought him Pendleton socks and camo clothes. Chris has bought this same thing for Clark for over ten years. Clark has yet to detect this pattern. Clark does not care. It’s fucking Christmas.
-Mary’s made a fancy breakfast for before they open presents. Robbie and Will are already eating it. Jean Baptiste, wake the fuck up, or everyone’s gonna have to wait for your tired gay ass, you sleep like a log, little brother.
-Victoria, being Jewish, enjoys a quiet morning and day in with cocoa and works on whatever project she’s got going at the moment, knowing that she is free to just do whatever she wants today. She has a day off for no reason. Therefore, her plan was ‘do nothing’.
Christmas Day
-Helen descends on June’s house with antler sheds from Timmy the elk to show off how big her boy has gotten. Seriously, June, he’s huge.
-Logan either spends the day with Gwendolyn or out with his horses. It’s quiet out on the plains. He likes the quiet.
-Elijah and Fatima shouldn’t have plans. Really, they shouldn’t. Elijah’s Jewish, Fatima’s Muslim, and yet at 9:30 AM, Fatima shakes him awake. We have to be somewhere at one, she reminds Elijah. Your brother would be mad if we weren’t there, she states, even as Elijah mutters that Jan Kees can kiss my ass and tries to go back to sleep. But he wakes up and showers and dresses anyhow. They arrive at the Chinese restuarant they’ve met at for over thirty years now. Marco’s there, at least they can banter. They eat Chinese food, speak in Yiddish, and then Jan, being the secular sort of Christian, gives them gifts, and Elijah gives him and Marco some (they’ve already done this on Channukah and yet they’re doing it again also his birthday was a week ago, his house is a mess). After a few hours, many laughs and many groans, they all depart. The pair goes back home and Elijah tells Fatima I don’t want to leave the house again until New Year’s. Fatima laughs as she lays there next to him, loving this somewhat exasperated man as much as he loves her.
