my cats are always thrilled when we turn off the AC. They are desert animals and like the heat, but if its going above 90 please provide cool dark places for them if it happens again.
Hooray for you, for not buying an AC you knew was going to be returned. its dishonest no matter how you shake it. Dont fall for it.
Im sorry you dont get a private escape to a solo hotel night out. That would have been a great stress reliever, no?
I am happy you have a land lord that cares, even in her own dark hour. Hang in there!
