Hot Flashes

Current dilemma: I haven't slept all week and, despite tylenol PM, I think the heat is keeping me up. Dave was, of course, fine all night. But then again, Dave can sleep through nuclear winter and wake up thinking nothing happened. Despite the heat, he was also interested (unconsciously) in snuggling at 1:30 am as he was "sharing" my pillow. Uhm, Dave? There are already 2 people (me and bba) and a gigantic cat on my side of the bed, not to mention all the covers that came with you. BACK OFF!

Anyway. So here's the debate: Air conditioner? I'd just give in and get one if it were for the reality that we have vertical windows -- which means the $89 style won't work. We have to get a $300 or more one. Damn damn. Thoughts? My thoughts are that I'm knocked up and it's only june. Then again, I know it's not going to be bad forever... and by 3 am or so, it does cool down. Unfortunately, that leave mommy-pees-a-lot with only about 3 hours of sleep. I don't know. Do I chance it and just try to ride it out? or do I bite the bullet now and enjoy a reasonable summer despite the belly?

Get the conditioner. Think of the baby. Or at least the hours of semi-restless sleep you're currently deprived of now. And then, when the world heats up even more in the wake of global warming, you'll be all the better for it because the rest of us will be sprinting to buy the damn things at $3,000 a pop.

I found an "evaporative air cooler" for $100 and decided to go with that. We have them at work and they work pretty well -- especially in MT where the humidity isn't an issue. And did I mention it was $100, not $400? But thanks for supporting my spending needs :)

Score.
