For the past month or so it has been absurdly hot outside, however my good friend and I normally get some hot days while in the summer, however you can properly count on the month of July being more pleasant than the subsequent summer time months – not this year.

We’ve had 90 degree days nonstop since the first days of July, and everyone has been using their a/c units like crazy to compensate for the heat and humidity.

It’s been an upscale month for Heating, Ventilation plus A/C usage, and we’re all upset about the excessive utility bills that are coming our way. That being said, no one I know is slowing down their A/C usage in the least, because the alternative is to broil alive in our tiny apartments. I’m harshly grateful for the new a/c units that my friend and I obtained recently, because they are keeping the indoor air temperature much colder than we’ve been able to achieve in the past years. In fact, it’s been so delightfully frigid indoors that sporadically I’ve been too frigid at home. I keep wrapping myself in sweatshirts until I have to step outdoors, at which point it’s a mad rush to tear off any extra layers to deal with the summer time heat. The temperature difference between the two environments has been so extreme that I’ve even noticed some crazy condensation in the windows lately. The frigid air from the a/c is producing moisture inside the window frames. I see this as both a blessing and a curse, because I’m not happy to deal with the subsequent mold complication in a few months.
