My Peeing AC

So the past few nights I've been suffering through the heat with my little dinky window fan and a small fan next to my bed blowing on my face full force. When it's nearly 100 degrees out... that combo doesn't really cut it for 'comfortable sleeping'

See, I have an AC unit. I hooked it up during the LAST heat wave a few weeks ago. But me and my not so AC savy self installed it all messed up and it leaked PUDDLES and PUDDLES into my room. Not like a little drip that I could take care of... like a RIVER down the wall and onto the nice hardwood floors. So... needless to say I couldn't really use the AC.

It sat in my window through the all the heat this week and last... taunting me. "If you turned me on I would cool things down... but I'll also pee all over your room!!" Yes, that's what it was saying to me every night.

Last night I had had enough. When I got home from work and my room was 8 jillion degrees I risked the AC falling out of the window when I went to move it... I was so nervous. But I succeeded. I re-situated it in the window so that it was tilting OUTSIDE so the water will leak OUT of the window and not into my bedroom.

The funny part? It cooled off to like 20 degrees last night. I didn't even have my fans on ... nothing... just the window open. And it was cool enough in my room to use my sheet AND blanket.

But don't worry... the AC is ready to fire up whenever the heat picks up again. Because I'm sure it will eventually.
