Typical Northeast summer has finally arrived – it’s hot and humid. Oh yay! Well, not really.

Yesterday evening my friend and I rode almost 10 miles through Lake Hiawatha and Montville. It was much easier than I expected and my ass doesn’t hurt from the seat like I expected it to. I was drenched when we got done…had to ride up the hill to get home.

Anyway, on to the fun part, my bedroom is on the 2nd floor of the house. It’s actually a converted attic and it gets very hot in the afternoon/evening. On warm days it’s easily 10-15° warmer upstairs. We also have casement windows so putting in an AC is a bit of task. We have a system worked out but it takes a fair bit of time. It hasn’t been hot yet so I haven’t bothered putting it in. That is going to change today.

Last night my room was so hot and sticky that I couldn’t sleep. It didn’t help that one of the cats decided she needed to sleep with me and lean against my leg.

So I headed downstairs to the living room, but unfortunately the biggest couch is a loveseat. After 2 hrs of trying to get comfortable on that I gave up and decided to see if it had cooled down upstairs, and thankful it had a little. Enough to make it bearable.

Today I am a bit cranky, with big dark circles under my eyes. But at least it’s friday!
