For those who are curious, I still haven't turned on my A/C unit. I don't even know if it actually works. We've had a relatively cool summer thus far because of all the rain we've been getting, so that has helped. I find that living without A/C makes it easier for me to cope with the heat when it is bad.
Also, despite a previous post, I haven't killed my plants. Again thanks to the rain, almost all of my outdoor plants have revived and are thriving. (My indoor plants are another story.) I'll take photos soon.

Man Up (Summer Survival)
So I decided I'm going to try to get through this summer without turning on my A/C window unit. I lived without A/C of any kind for all three years of college (at UF), and I liked it. I've gotten soft in my old age and it's time to toughen up. (Plus I don't want to shell out the cash -- A/C is costly and right now my electricity bill is below $50 a month.)
Today I went to the store and bought two fans, which are going to save me.
One's for my bedroom, and one's for the living room/kitchen. I have ceiling fans in each room, but sometimes they're not enough. Lately I've been having trouble sleeping because of the heat. Enter fan. Added bonus: white noise covers sounds of neighbors partying late at night. It's a win-win. I love summer.
