Joelle, eighty bleeping degrees inside? Yikes! I’d be in really bad shape. That’s what I am in for when we go back. This time my mother-in-law will be out of the hospital, and she is always complaining about being cold. Of course she is 94 years old. I’m going to bring a heating blanket for her ‘cause I just couldn’t take that kind of heat. I asked my hubby what temperature they usually set it to, and he said that they never use it. I guess we can count ourselves lucky that the AC works at all. It is a really nice condo, but I’ll bet the AC hasn’t been serviced in many years since they never use it.

Marion and Joelle, since you are in Florida,, Marion could you buy one of those window or floor room A/C's? Just for the bedroom to sleep?
I know condo's are strict about using window units, but they have ones like a hassock that sits on the floor in your room. No one would know and the in-laws won't get the cold from it Marion. And joellelee as a renter it is yours to move when you move. Just a thought.

Lady, I already looked into a portable AC, but the only ones I could find had to be hooked up to a window with a conduit for exhaust. The bedroom window is adjacent to a walkway, and I doubt I’d get away with it.
I am still in Connecticut now, but I’ll be going back the second week in July. When I get down there I’m going to look into blocking off all the AC vents in the condo except for the vent in our bedroom.

Count me in among you hotties. The heat really does me in, makes my left leg weak and if I get really hot, forget about anything, I have to lay down to rest.
Luckily I work in air conditioning but it still gets a bit too warm there but not often.

I hate the heat. Anything over 80 degrees is just too hot - my legs start to spasm and I start getting weak/fatigued and then the cognitive stuff starts.
![]() ![]() Since it is now over 100 here, I take 2 to 3 showers a day with my last one being shortly before bed time. The shower lowers my internal temp and keeps me cooler for a longer period of time. After my before bed shower, I turn the fan on and lay in bed. It does keep me cool. I also drink a lot of ice water. It seems to help too. Stay cool everyone!!! |
