I don't like air conditioning.
I grew up without it and I'm a summer person. I like it hot. For the past 17 years I rented an older house in a crappy neighborhood and it didn't have central air or heat or even a window unit. And I was fine. I enjoyed opening my windows in the spring, letting in the fresh air. I had a couple of ceiling fans and window fans. I worked in air conditioning during the hot part of the day. If the heat was unbearable during the weekends, I would go hang out at Panera Bread or the Library. And it really never stayed unbearably hot for too many days in a row.
I really never worried about having my windows open until the last few years. The neighborhood was going downhill with lots of homeless people wandering around and several shootings. And I'm pretty sure my son wasn't happy with the situation.
Last year, my landlord (an elderly lady), told me she wasn't going to be able to rent anymore. So, I started looking for a new place.
My new apartment is great and it has air. Because I am getting on in years, I appreciate it more than I use to. This old body doesn't handle heat as well as it once did. But, be warned. You will probably be sweating if you come visit. I keep it on 80 degrees.
I really, really can't stand being cold.
You crack me up...lol.
ReplyDeleteI keep mine on 74. Probably because other people live here and they'll complain. But you'll often find me with a robe on over my clothes if you come by. I hate being cold too.
