This feels like summer and I don't like it.

It's 83F (28C) outside right now. It's 78F (25C) inside. We need to replace our through-the-wall AC unit at some point--or remove it and spray it down with a biocide to kill the mold growing in it. We have ceiling fans in three rooms. I can't open the windows due to all the plants spewing pollen.

I think I'm going to miss having central air. Maybe we can afford to add an evaporative coil and all that jazz in a few years.

I can be comfortable so long as I don't wear too much and I don't hold the laptop. Right now, though, I'm wearing a light shirt, a light skirt, and holding the laptop.

*pants*

I just put the hummingbird feeder up and I'm ready for winter.

dark curtains are a cheap, easy way to quickly cut down on temperature and encourage naturalism, both of which will assist the de-frying process.

Our soffits/overhangs are wide, this being a ranch-style home. We have blinds. Curtains encourage dust mites. My husband can't stand an entirely darkened house during the day--since the windows are small, it would be stifling.

A whole house fan in the attic is probably going to be the first step.

*giggle*

Aye, that's an option. New windows will probably happen first. We do have decent windows and storm windows, but they're original.

Never fear, Nanner-'Public doesn't stock clothes for women with boobs.

Don't know what [livejournal.com profile] explodingcat would say, but that wouldn't bother me much. ;-)
