Don’t even wanna KNOW what the temp is out there! Let’s see what we can find out from Wunderground, thereby stoking our neurosis without having to get up and walk onto the back porch to look at the thermometer…
Ah! A chilly 106 degrees in the shade…at 4:54 p.m.
Balmy, eh?
Stupidly, I walked down to the Albertson’s shopping center a couple hours ago. Extraordinarily bad idea! Just about fricaseed by the time I stumbled back in the house.
And…and…WHY is it so freakin’ hot in here, two hours later?
Because the AC is off. Or something….it’s set to some brain-banging STUPID temperature.
Just discovered that fiasco! Turned the unit back on (WHO the hell turned it off, and why?????). Set it for 77.
The motor just started to run. Temp inside the house is in the 80s just now–far as I can tell. May be higher. So it’ll take a couple hours to cool back down into a bearable temperature.
Well, it’s only a bit after 5:00 p.m. at the moment. So by bed-time, maybe the house will be sleep-able….
My hair is soaking wet. And since I haven’t been in the pool, that ain’t a good sign.
What the HECK happened here? This is not a cleaning-lady day. Far as I can recall, no workmen have been in the house. And you may be sure I wouldn’t have turned the AC off. Soooo….how did the thermostat get set at a Hades-like temp?????
Jeez. I wonder if someone could have come in the house and, in a moment of funny-ha-ha humor, messed with the thermostat? But…who? Cleaning lady? WHY? She’s no vicious nut case, and so wouldn’t have done a thing like that. Plumber? Don’t think he has a key.
Is it possible to dork with the thermostat from outside the house? If you get on the roof with the unit, for example?
Oh well. The thing is blasting cool air into the room just now. Soon it will be blasting a vast power bill into the house….
