I installed my 3 window-unit air conditioners today

I put my bedroom unit in the window on 4/15. It got warm here early this year.

Killing stray dogs by running over them in my Land Rover OP

I usually wait until the day I get home from work exhausted and it feels like 100 degrees in the house. I am bitchy and miserable the entire time but, I am home this year!

r2, I hope you wore a mask and social distanced while you did that

Window installed AC's still exist?

For every central system there are 25 window units.

In my neck of the woods, neither of them is popular. We mostly use wall mounted ACs here.

i thought window AC was only for The Poors

^^ tell that to New Yorkers

I have no idea what a "3 window" unit is. Please explain. I know what a window air conditioner looks like, I just never heard of one that covers 3 windows...

OH WAIT! I just realized you meant THREE individual window air conditioners!

I'm just going to jump into a grease fire and end it all.

I almost never turn my air conditioner on until June. Besides, the weather here has been cool and cloudy for ages. Warmer on the weekend which will almost be a relief, but not too hot I hope. Not ready for it yet.

and today I am pulling out the electric space heaters...

this afternoon I continued playing with my new toy (a 14’ tree saw with bypass lopper). next is sanding and shellacking some wooden bird feeders I’ve been meaning to fill. haven’t turned the A/C on yet here, the overnight lows are pretty cool and I’m fine with a fan in the window.

going back to work, in-person, tomorrow, and having slight anxiety over that... but it’s been 3 months and I need to go check on stuff.

just be aware of and accepting of your anxiety r13. it's ok and normal and you may not realize that is what you are experiencing even a few days later. source, I go to the office once a week.

I repainted the ceiling in my bathroom. Next week I hope to get around to the walls.

Tomorrow I'm talking to my doctor about the massive anxiety I have about returning to work. (I don't know *when* that will be, but my university is planning on us all returning, against all good judgement. I'd like to think that I could still partially work from home, but I know that my dept. head is a dick.)

ask about hydroxyzine hcl r15. it's like xanax without the addiction issues. you would want to start at home a few times and probably take half of the dosage at a time.

This thread about air conditioners has taken a serious wrong turn!

no, i asked what 'you' were up to. so, no wrong turns possible :)

We can't have the windows open too wide here in hot London in case the pussy cat jumps out. Living on a first floor.

you don't do screens there right?

rescue chic is correct. in nc...humid as hell last week. ac needed and coldish today.

I’m trying to pretend none of this shit is happening but not doing a good job of it. Wow, what a terrible year so far. I’m so scared of what the rest will be like, between the civil unrest, virus and elections. Even one of those would be a lot to handle.

Sewed some today, then cleaned the kitchen.

Trying to get used to a floater in my eye that appeared when I was out walking this morning.

Will be Zoom-ing with some of my stitching buddies later on this afternoon.

R20 Several years ago, there was a lengthy and strangely entertaining DL thread about US vs European window screen use / not. Thanks to our crappy search function, I can't find it.

Google to the rescue!

I remember that thread that's actually where I learned about it. dl to the rescue again!

r23 I hope you and your buddies call it a Stitch-n-Bitch!

What am I up to? I am riding shotgun with r2. With a shotgun to help him in his life's work.

I installed central a/c when I bought my old house. Ahhhhh!

Did laundry (and hung it out, don't hate me), washed the car, took a nap, lifted some weights so my boobs stop sagging. Poured a cocktail, and here I am, gurls!

r27 We may not have called it that, but we sure were a-stitchin' and a-bitchin'. It was nice to get caught up with the gang, haven't seen many of them since February. We had a show & tell, talked a lot of politics, nicely, swapped a few recipes and admitted what we were going to gorge ourselves on once the session was over.

Nope, no screen here in the UK! I'd love something that keeps the bugs out.

I am not even joking, I would buy screening or gauze and staple it to the window frames.

I put my A/Cs in a. I think abo, in case I got COVED and became too weak to do it later, it’s afraid I’d have a fever, it would be 90°f, and I’d have no A/C.

I did clean my tub today. I let my cleaning gal go in February. I haven’t cleaned the tub in months. I’m glad it’s done.
