my coworkers think i'm weird: i haven't turned on my A/C yet. i don't see the point, not yet anway.
yes, come july or august when it's sticky hot, i'll turn it on, but i don't leave it on any longer than necessary, and i keep it up rather warm. if i'm cold in my house, the it needs to be adjusted.
- first off, it's not that hot. it 90 today. i can handle that.
- tomorrow it will be warmer and more humid, but it'll be cooling off by thursday, so i can't justify cranking on the A/C only to shut it off in two days.
- i' get pretty good breezes through my house, with a ceiling fan in the kitchen and a oscillating fan in the bedroom to help
- i'm cheap, and i don't like having to pay for the electricity needed to run my air
- it's good for my weight loss; if i'm hot, i'm less likely to eat (or eat a lot), and i drink lots of water to help keep cool

And way to go for resisting the a/c! I've got mine cranked, I'm afraid, but I've also got all windows closed, due to SEVERE hay-fever this year. Not only are you saving yourself money, you're saving precious resources of the earth! You didn't even know you were being an environmentalist.

actually, environmental concerns is another reason, i jsut forgot to list it. and the NOISE pollution 'round here ... i sat outside for a bit last night, and all i could hear was A/Cs running, cars on the highway, and those obnoxiously loud car stereos.
if i was a smart woman, i'd have turned my air on by now... i'm not doing my allergies any favors. i've been hitting the tissues, eyedrops, and benadryl kinda hard lately.
