Earlier this evening, my wife came inside the house after being outside on the deck (but under the gazebo) all day and right away noticed the heat with which I had been enduring all day... it was 86 degrees in here and I had been sitting in front of a fan all afternoon trying to keep cool... she immediately closed the windows and turned on the air conditioning... we try to resist turning on the "air" as long as we can because it really "jacks up" our electric bills. Normally, we have tried to wait until June but as both of us get older, our tolerance to the heat lessens and we are forced to depend on the air conditioning more and more.Even though the air is on right now, we still have on (full blast) all of our ceiling fans plus a couple of portable fans to push around the cool air. Once the inside gets cooled, the fans help keep it cool even when we raise temperature a little.
Sometimes growing old is just a bitch.
