52/432: Chill Out
May. 11th, 2026 10:41 pmThe apartment heated up to eighty degrees long before nightfall Monday. Once the outdoor temperature fell below eighty I opened the windows and turned on the fan. Without recourse to air conditioning I have brought the place down to 78, and there's a good chance I'll be able to get it down to a tolerable 72 before morning. I probably got it down to 72 Monday morning, but I had fallen asleep before dawn and when I woke up at half past ten in the morning the fan was pulling hot air in and it had risen to 75. That's why it hit eighty before nightfall.
It will be getting slightly cooler over the next few days with some highs even dipping into the eighties, so there's a chance that I'll be able to avoid using the air conditioner for the duration of the current billing cycle. I know I won't stay that lucky all summer, but the less I spend now the more I'll have available when the hot shit hits the blazing fan later in the year. Next year I'm not even going to think about.
