So blasted hot.

The forecast is suggesting a low of 66.  Not convinced.  It is currently 78, according to them.  Which reminds me, I need to find or buy several mechanical temperature gauges, hardy ones that can be adjusted and tested.  The weather stations and channels are notoriously inaccurate. 

I need something covering me, in order to sleep well.  But at 79, up here, with ac, it just doesn't work.  I'll have to put my second ac unit in.  That... should help.  And, get the one installed in the livingroom.  Hopefully the various units will contort to consort.

I have been dragging my feet for a reason.  I did it before mom moved in.  I do it now.  To save a few coins, to force some level possible of acclimation, to force myself to slow down in the heat.  And because it is a lot of damned work and fuss.  Especially if I try to put them all in at once.  So... that is why.  Mostly.

With mom, doubly trying to get her to back off.  She can't race all day, in this heat, and want the house to be cold.  I can't afford that.  Especially if she leaves the doors open, but even if she closes them.  If it is too hot?  Slow the hell down.  Ugh. 

I am used to living in a broken body.  She hasn't quite sorted that age is a limiter, and heat.  If she keeps her door closed, her room really does stay a crisp 72.  If it's open, it gets to between 76 and 78, with the ac always on (cycling, frequently off, with it closed).  Barely better than no ac.  Ugh.

And, the AC in the livingroom will be just for a few hours a day.  Not an all day device.  I'll have to figure out how to lock that down, or have her pay half the jump in electric.  Yes, that... might be the better way.  I have gotten up to $70 in electricity, per month, non-ac months.  From, say, $40.  I'll bet, with ac's running, just the two, that is doubled or tripled.  With another ac, or two?

Thankfully it will just be for a month or two.  But, yeah.  If she has some skin in the game, she'll think a bit before just jacking the ac's and leaving doors open.  It's the only way with women.  Tight, with "their money".  Will spend and give away other people's money with zero concept of responsible rational thought, especially to excess and destructiveness to the donor.  Why do you think I say all women have skirt socialism?  Because they do.  Worse than deck apes on payday, or spear chuckers on loot day, they are organized about the thiefts.

Well... Up for a bit.  I might put the extra ac in up here.  Though, not turn it on.  Turn the other off too.  Open up for the night, as with downstairs.  Get fans going, the few that aren't running already.  Game, make some fatted coffee, perhaps have a bite.  Later...  Good morning, I suppose, too.  Or, good night for those of you going the other way.  Prayers your way, as per usual. 

A final note?  Instead of the temperature dropping, from 78 when I started writing?  It went up, to 80!  So much for 66 tonight.
