Sweltering Evening & Morning...

Well, last night when I got home from work, I noticed that the house was very warm despite the A/C running continuously. I felt the vents and there was warm air coming out. Well, we had to shut off the A/C and open the windows. Since the high for yesterday was over 95 degrees, having a house in the mid 80's is not fun. We called our HVAC people and were told that they were extremely busy and they would add us to the list.

Sleeping last night was an exercise in futility! Even with the fan in my bedroom on high, I was sweaty and miserable. Fitful patches of light sleep was all I could get. Since my window was wide open, when the sun rose and streamed through my window...I was up.

I haven't eaten anything since dinner last night because it's SO hot and muggy. All food is just too heavy and makes me even hotter. I have been diligent about staying hydrated, however.

This morning I ended up taking a cold shower before work. For the short time I was in there, I was in heaven. But alas, I had to get out, dry off, and get dressed (which caused me to get sweaty all over again).

When I left the house, the HVAC guys had not been there but we were assured when we called again at 8am that they would get there as soon as possible. I hope they come and fix it before I get off work at 5pm.

All I have to say is that I will gladly pay any and all amount to have my house be as cool and dry as possible in the summer. Hell, I'd even sacrifice heat in the winter as long as I can be cool in the summer.

Students and fellow instructors know to steer clear of me until I've cooled down. Like the saying goes, "If Mama ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy!"
