I am into to a few things. I like to save money and keep my life as simple as possible. In Central Texas it has been hot, over 80 degrees. Normally the A/C would have been cranked on, but not this year. I am using it for a couple of hours on days where the inside temp is over 85 degrees. We have a pier and beam house, so our windows are high up. We have three windows we keep open, and it helps the whole circulation process. We do have an attic fan but Hubby hasn’t put the slipped belt back on. The attic fan takes out the hot air and pulls in cooler air. It works great in the spring, in the summer the air is hot everywhere.

We are hopeful this summer we will use A/C, Hubby and TD don’t work in A/C. So when they come home cooling off is priority number 1! Today Hubby and I had a long talk about the amount of A/C we would be willing to pay for and need for the summer. I may have a cut on temperature that would work best for us. If it gets a certain temperature, the A/C comes on. I would love to say I can live without A/C but this is a muggy hot area, and I tired it once. I ended up with heatstroke. Since my cancer, I am more fragile than before, I need to be able to cool off for a few hours a day.

I have also noticed my refrigerator runs a lot when it is hot inside. Tonight as I post is going to be in the forties. That seems odd to me in April, but I enjoy the ease of heat. Masterpiece Theatre was not on PBS tonight; I felt like my best friend moved away and didn’t tell me. Thankfully, I watched my last two hours of one on Netflix yesterday.

If only my A/C was off of solar panels!
