(no subject)

Slept all night with the windows open and the fans going. A little warm but not too bad, when I got up at 6:15 it was 81 in the house. I went ahead and shut all the windows and pulled the blinds in a futile effort to keep out the heat this morning.
I opened the house up last night when it was 88 outside and 87 inside and immediately realized I had failed to consider the difference in humidity inside (low 15-20% I'd guess) compared to that outside (44%).

It was actually kind of pleasent sleeping with the windows open, except that upon waking my eye were caked with goo and my sinuses were coated with a nice layer of nightblooming mold. If it weren't for that I could really get into sleeping with open windows but the humidity and the mold is just too damn unpleasent. I feel like I have steel wool under my eyelids.

The a/c tech is coming out at 1 today, hopefully the doggies won't get too hot until then.

A/c is going now, actually it started going as soon as we powered it up. But the igniter kept going off continuously, and the only way to turn it off was replace the board. He couldn't see any reason for it to freeze up like it was, there was a little gunk on the coils and in ther drain tube but not enough to cause the problem. He went through and cleaned out everything anyways.

Cost me 470$, thankfully I get paid friday. Every month for the last 3 months or so I have had an unexpected 400$ charge, I had to pay for my truck, then I had to take the dogs to the vet, now this, I had to pay a couple hundred the month before the vet for refinance fees (inspection and something else that weren't covered by the refinance). and it is really starting to get to me. I am barely paying all my bills (even with the refinance) and this is just cracking my spine.
