Summer Time!

This past Memorial Day weekend, we had beautiful weather.  It was sunny and HOT!  Maybe a little too hot and humid, but better than cold and snowy.  It got hot and humid enough for us to break down and turn on the air conditioning.  I think it's funny that every year we forget what we should set our thermostat to every summer.  This year was no different except that we have our programmable thermostat which was obvious that we bought it in a colder month because the temperature settings for cool were kind of whack.  We had it set to 74 during the day when we are at home (which is not that bad, but still kind of warm) and 78 for when we are not at home.  Since the hubster is now a student and was a full time worker when we bought it, it doesn't make sense anymore.  He's home during the normal business hours and as much as I'd like him to sweat like a pig at home, we had to change it.

78 is too warm for me.  I woke up this morning and was sweating.  I was like what the heck is going on.  The thermostat was at 74, and I finally gave in and agreed with the hubster about it being a smidge too warm.  After I walked the dogs and watered my herbs (which I think I am over-watering), I changed the schedule so that the house is at a constant 72 throughout the day.  I think the hubster will think it's still too warm, he'll just have to deal with it.

The forecast looks like it will be 93 today and a day time low of 82.  I don't think the AC will be coming off any time soon unless the humidity comes down.
