So I bought 5 bags of ice and put it into a cooler, and then blew my box fan across it... and then the box fan decided today, of all days, to burn out.
But fortunately I found another (much smaller) fan which is working well enough, so I have a small livable spot where I can hang out and, like, not die.
Also it was "cool" and "fun" to see that the outside temperature gauge on my car does have three digits on it after all.
wow my ice is already mostly melted ugh
also for the last month I'd been collecting bids on getting a heat pump installed in my home and I really hope that I can get it actually done soon, even though the heat wave will hopefully be long gone by the time I can make it happen. I'll definitely need to be prepared for the next one.
I also hope that having already gotten bids gets me early in line, because I'm sure there's going to be a HUGE rush for installers soon.
