Rough one.

I wasn't able to cool down last night at all, not enough to sleep.  Here it is noon, and it is beginning to cook again!  The air conditioner showed up and is sitting in my living room... cooling off itself?... now.  Today or tomorrow it will go in that window, one way or another.  I was able to carry it with one hand, in packing, so I shouldn't have too much trouble putting it in the window.  It is supposed to weight around 81 pounds, sans packing.  Still, that just isn't too much for me to easily maneuver.  If I had to put that weight up somewhere, overhead, on my tip-toes, that would be a different story.

That ac isn't just wanted, it is needed.  I have lost my ability to tolerate dry heat!  Well, that was bound to happen.  While it is much preferred versus high humidity combined with the same heat, it just isn't possible for me to ignore at this point.  No, the heat won't kill me.  It will just slow me down.  I'm already slower than turtles, slugs, and professional procrastinators, if I am so under protest.  I didn't even finish the curtain rods or curtains.  Then again, two days in the heat in a row, a number of stops in town, plus the heat by itself, and I am simply done for a day or two.  Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

Yeah, have a good day.  I'll try to rest and be ready to hit some of this tonight.  It might just be one rod and finishing the drying, but I will do more tonight.  The ac will go in when the drapes are up and when I feel ready and able to work again.  I suspect I will need to cut a couple of 2x4s to act as a platform in the window, then figure out how to brace those.  I WILL get it done as fast as I can though.  A night of cool sleep, or a week, or the rest of the summer, is needed.  Later.
