damn right i'm hot!

[just_cyd]

my coworkers think i'm weird: i haven't turned on my A/C yet. i don't see the point, not yet anway.

• 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

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.

Very admirable of you! Unfortunatel, I'm a heat-wuss, and Mike is absolutely heat-intolerant. We have our air-conditioning on the minute the external temperature surpasses the comfortable temperature inside the house. I *hate* to be hot, and Mike physically can't stand it. However, we don't mind cold nearly so much; we rather like it. We use our heat sparingly - we never turned it on when we lived in apartments - the passive heat from the rest of the building was enough - now we use it because we have a bigger house, but the electric company keeps dropping our bills since we use so much less electricity than the previous owners.
