We Caved.

With highs threatening 113(!) and recorded temps of 110, we bought an air conditioner. After finding my husband asleep face down in our ridiculously hot apartment when I came home from work, I knew it was time. Kevin starts his intensive summer courses on Monday and I knew there was no way he could study in this heat. I told him to research some units online, and last night we brought it home. We managed to find a small window unit, that is energy efficient. Plus it has this funny little remote so that we can control the temp from the couch. I think tonight we may rent a movie and enjoy relaxing at home instead of trying to find an air conditioned mall or some other creepy place.

As a side note we found out our upstairs neighbor will be gone for ALL of July and August. As Kevin said, "you only dream of things like this happening."
