Lots of emotions today

Well, woke up to our AC not working.
Of coarse it happened on a Sunday so can’t get anyone to come fix it at least until tomorrow…

I can only imagine the temperature today was something like “95 but feels like 110” :hot_face:

Spent the day trying to keep my daughter cool by rubbing ice cubes on her back… also trying not to lose my sh*t.

We have like 3 fans, but I can tell you it was not enough…

Now I just spent almost the last hour sitting on our porch in ecstasy as it poured down rain, along with thunder and lightning. Also while enjoying a homemade iced coffee.

I am normally terrified of the rain and thunderstorms here but after being trapped in the house all day in the heat, it felt amazing.

(My husband took the kids to the store with him awhile ago)

Might I recommend a window ac unit to help. A 12,000 btu unit cools most of my house, so that our ac condenser doesn’t need to be on. Saves on a bunch of electricity, too.

Our windows here are weird…

They’re like, double glass… there’s no way to open them.

But good suggestion.

I hope your AC fix isn’t too expensive. I’m glad you got some rain to cool things off. Nobody up here has AC, but it’s Alaska, so it doesn’t get too hot here, a few days in the 80s then Summer is over! We’re at 64 right now, perfect walking weather…

That sounds nice. Hopefully it cooled down for you. Homemade iced coffee is delish :coffee:

oh man, do I empathize with you…when it gets over a hundred like it’s been for most of the month our little a/c wall units just can’t keep up and we are miserable during the day…so sorry.

I went through that in July … It was like 100 and only had ac in one window. The rest of the apartment was on :fire_engine::fire::fire_engine:

Got a second one and it’s cool now

Also… that rain storm sounds magical with the coffee :coffee:. Glad you had a better day than me

That sounds awful! Is it possible during the hottest parts of the day to go somewhere cooler like the movies or a mall or something?

Too hot weather is dreadful. Especially for me as a big girl.

Wen that happens here, I just lay in bed with windows open etc.

It’s great u had that weather at the end of the day.

What a way to appreciate rain
