Hot Day

But might have found a cheap used ac unit. It's one of them with the hose that goes outside. We can't use a conventional one because the window slides sideways. A guy from the auction knows who has it and will check it out for us. If it works he is going to bring it Tuesday. I can use plywood or even cardboard to fill in the small space that will be needed for the hose. For now I will continue taking cold baths to cool my whole body down. I only got some more plastic bottles today. Just wasn't anything else I wanted. I did buy a couple of things for my friend on her number. Her son needed to borrow the truck today so she had to go home early. They know I sometimes buy for her so it's not a problem. I have been beside my fan since getting home except when we picked up food. But I am feeling a lot better today than I did all week. I think a lot of that is the cold bath I took last night. It gave my body a much needed cool down. Still no rain. But still hoping. Hope you had a good day.

It would be good if the A/C unit works for you. I guess it would help a lot.

My brother had one of those in his bedroom when we were young. It worked well and kept his room cool.

I finally cooled down from my up and down adventures. I look forward to using my chair for a chair instead of using it like a walker or pushcart.

What happened to your air conditioning unit? I must have missed something while I was gone. I was going to tell you I'd give you the window unit from our old house but it won't work for you. I only had it at the last house for a year before we moved into this house and didn't need it. We brought it with us when we moved. It's still out in the garage here.

@wolfgirl569 We use our central air every year all summer long.

We haven't used the central air in forever. Plus it didn't cool the bedroom real well when we did. These sliding windows can be a huge pain.

Weather patterns have changed, it looks like, everywhere. Europe is also unusually hot this time around. Hope the AC unit helps to make it comfortable.

The AC will sure make things pleasant for you. Th heat can be a pain in the butt. Hope you are able to buy it

I just need a chance to reset at night.

That is what my portable one is, one that has the hose that goes outside. Thank God, my central AC is working fine, and I haven't had to drag that thing out. It is huge.

I think that if you slide the window open enough for a piece of plywood with a hole cut into it for the hose and you silicone it into place you'll enjoy the coolness.

I am doing the best I can to enjoy working on completing surveys and sharing news stories.
