OMG.
So hot.
Central AC is still broken.  It was like 97 today.

We're running off of the window unit that's in the craft room and there's sweat rolling down my back in the next room (with the fan pumping the cold air into here as much as it can).

It's so hot that I went into the barn, got the AC out of there and was gonna set it up in the kitchen (so the two ACs would bring that room and the living room down to bearable temps.

So there's this big window in the kitchen, and I've been saying to Sam, "I should caulk that up, because we never use it and there's no screen. It's just wasting cold air."

And today I was "Oh thank God I hadn't gotten around to that yet, because i can put this handy-dandy window unit in the WINDOW."

The previous owners beat me to it with the caulk thing.  In fact, the tile countertop makes it impossible to open that window at all. Ever.  

EDIT:  Husband came home and was the voice of calm.  Window was not caulked, only tightly fitted with tile under it and a windwo blind over it.  Husband used a tool (so proud of him, you don't even know) to get the window open enough for fingers to go in.  With one of us on the inside and one on the outside we were able to lift it in the tracks and slide it over enough to get the AC in.  

There is now cool.

And it was good.

Sorry, my a/c runs non stop and can still only keep the house to 83 on top of that where I work's air broke and it was about 93 outside so I have no idea how hot it got inside.

So I feel your pain but at least at night the air catches up some and we can sleep in realitive comfort. Hope you start cooling off soon.

OH honey, as a fellow Texan, I feel your pain. I find the best thing to do is... work out. LOL. Nothing like a healthy sweat and lotsa fluids, plus the shower after ward is nothing short of nirvana.

*sends ice* I can't stand the heat, I think I'd go crazy without central air.

{{{}}} I've been in buildings when it was 97 out and no A/C. I send you a snowy heart.

Oh and I wonder if this might help at all? http://lifehacker.com/396271/diy-heat-blocking-curtains

I remember wanting to die when I had to deal with a painted shut bedroom window and no hope for a fan while I was staying with my Aunt in Georgia. Too hot and sticky for my New York/ Canadian self to handle.

*sends blocks of ice your way*

I saw: OMG. So hot. and I IMMEDIATELY thought you were going to rec a porn fic. LOL.

I would flat out die without my A/C. I overheat incredibly easy. Luckily (not to rub it in) we only got into the mid 70s here today with low humidity. Unusual for this time of year. And it's 65 here now. I'm savoring it while I can.

Good luck and tons of sympathy.

Having just spent the weekend with a friend who's power was shut off (long story), I feel your pain. Its insanely hot here too. I never thought I'd be able to sleep with no covers, but I definitely wasn't sleeping WITH covers. Apparently you CAN sleep in a sauna if you get tired enough.

Is the hold-up with the warrenty holder or the A/C company? Didn't they already take your compressor? Can I call them and pretend that I am Sam?

Call me

Now I wish we hadn't given our last window unit away... damn. I seriously feel your pain. *offers coffee icecream*

Omg, it is so hot around here, but I love it. I don't care that my makeup doesn't have a chance in Texan hell to survive for more than 4.65 seconds. I will take this over the wretchedness which was that crazy freezing/warming bipolar thing we had going early in the year and made everyone sick.

Husband came home and was the voice of calm.
I love that. On a couple occasions of feeling distraught, I've had guys tell me to calm down in a calm voice. It wasn't condescending on their part or anything, but I found it very manly of them to do that, lol.
