Survival Log, Hour Four

My journal entry from yesterday evening:
Due to the heat and loss of power (which means the magic machine doesn't keep the condo cool) we have resorted to desperate measures: Mommy ran a cord in from the stairwell (where the lights still work) and has plugged in a big fan. She also put my cooling mat in the freezer for ten minutes so it was nice and cold. Then she put it in front of the fan, told me to lay on it and misted me with cool water. Usually I would object, but it did feel good and it helped cool me off. I wasn't made to live in such primitive conditions....must...hang...on...cannot...give...up...
