AC is finally ON!


I finally turned on the portable AC in my bedroom last night. So far I had resisted and resisted, but last night the heat was unbearable. Usually I would keep my fan next to the window and let it do its money-saving magic. However it wasn't working well last night, because the room was still warm and stuffy. So I decided to turn the AC on for the first time this year. I got this portable AC last summer, and I barely used it. I was always worried about the cost, the noise, and how it made me thirsty. Then again I reminded myself, "What is the point of buying and owning something if you keep talking yourself out of using it?" So we were ON. It was still noisy. It took no time to make me thirsty. And it would cause my electric bill to go up a few bucks. That was fine. I was able to sleep, even though I did wake up from the loudness and thirst. I had my bottle water ready. I was feeling both dry and comfortable. So I could fall back to sleep again.
