Forecast

What a forecast!  This coming week will certainly be an experience for us pasty, ex-Colorado folk!

I think it is important to point out a few things.  First, this iPhone Weather app screenshot was taken @ 8:45PM--98 deg. @ 8:45PM!

Second, our AC had been out for the past 2 days.  After having dinner at a friend's house in Garland we came home to our apartment.  It was about 9PM.  The first thing I noticed was that there was no atmospheric change stepping from the outdoors into our apartment.  I checked the thermostadt: 90+ deg [maxed out].  At 9PM there is nothing you can do with a busted AC unit.  So we stripped the girls down and put little, glistening, exhausted, naked bodies to bed with ice packs and fans blowing on them.

A day later and it was off to Sam's for a backup AC unit.  With that running full time, and another that was loaned to us by the apartment complex, we were able to keep the apartment at about 86 deg.  Same routine again: glistening, little naked bodies, ice packs, and fans.

But today is a good day!  We have a brand new AC unit that is working famously........And just balance the last 2 days out a bit, we're still running the 2 backup units.  98 deg. outside; 73 inside.  Tonight it's back to PJs ;-)
