Too Hot to Blog

Sorry for missing today. It was quite literally too hot to blog. I finally got an AC unit, but it's a tiny, one-room job. The holes it left in the wall changed the temperature in here more than the damned unit did! And I have two, rotating fans on top of the AC!

At the height of the heat today, the downtown bank read 96º; I do not know for certain, but I lay odds that it reached 95º inside my house today. The AC and fans lower the temperature by more than a single degree (usually, anyway), but if you figure-in the heat index before you calculate the temperature, I'd think 95º to be a conservative estimate. I also walked to the store this morning, so my body temperature was well over 80-85º up to about an hour ago. That was when I called it a day, turned both fans on high and trained them on me, and took a little nap.

Last week, the breaker in the front of the house blew; I am running every electric appliance in my home (that I can) from three outlets in the kitchen! And I obviously can't run everything I normally use at the same time, as I don't want it to kill this breaker and leave me in the sweltering heat without computer, fans, or TV...

Speaking of TV, I haven't watched it since everything went digital, which was only a handful of days before I lost electricity, so either way, I wasn't going to be seeing much TV the past couple weeks. I still haven't gotten my bills caught-up to the point that I can get my satellite or broadband turned back on, but I could at least rewatch the same movies I've seen umpteen-thousand times if they would fix the damned breaker like they were supposed to have - last week...

Pray that Blogger's scheduling function is working now so I can get tomorrow posted-up for you.
