throwing caution to the wind....

I turned off my very best friend,acey (the a/c) last night before I went to bed. It was a surprisingly coolish night, with a lovely breeze, so I thought I would try to go for a non-a.c. night. Our first since about July 9th (yes, poor lil' acey has been working hard for the money, so hard for it honey, this month - on 24/7 really because even if we are not home, R-chan is, and she would shrivel up and die if I closed all the windows and turned off acey. And there doesn't seem to be much point in turning off acey for an hour or 2, because せっかくall the nice cool air in the house would simply float outside and we would have to start from scratch again.) So I though it would be nice to give her (acey) a break, and let some real air into the house. FWIW, acey is very efficient, and we run her at 28degrees all the time, and she still cools down the entire apartment, which we were pretty amazed at!

So when I woke this morning, it was still nice and coolish, breezy-ish, so I opened up all the windows to try to create some sort of wind tunnel effect, which was going ok until the afternoon lull hit. It is quite warm now, but still not unbearable. Probably because I am making good use of acey's rellies, fannetta (the pedestal fan) and reiko (the 令風機, where you put water into the tank in the bottom and it blows out cool air!) The only problem is that now I can't be bothered leaving the house, cause I would have to go around and close all the windows, and probably start up acey again. So tonight will have to be a "dig something out of the freezer" dinner. Lucky it is just for me - I'm not fussy! lol.

No chu-hai for me today - yesterday's may have knocked me around a bit, I think I may have been dehydrated. That is what I am blaming the post-chu-hai headache on, anyway. Right, off to drink some good ol' h2o. I think K is waking up from her nap too.
