Now you can call me "Two Cent"

judecorpThe temperature has finally dropped in the apartment - from 87 to 85. I'm starting to worry that the cats are going to get overheated. We have central air but I'm afraid of what the electric bill will be if we start running the central air all over this place. Oh, and we can't close the living room windows because the humidity has them stuck open.
I miss living in Ohio, because in Ohio we were making enough money to pay the electric bill with the central air on. We kept the temp up a little high, and so the third floor of our place was warm, but we used a fan and could sleep under the sheets. Now I want to pull off my skin to make myself cooler. This is sticky and disgusting.
In Ohio, our electric bill with the central air on full time was $75/mo. Last month, our electric bill was over $40 with no central air. It would have been like $28 in Columbus. What the heck is the difference? I'm tempted to just say, "Screw it!" and run the AC like mad, spending the money I've saved for the down payment on a house in the interests of keeping cool. This is the third or fourth day that the temp in the apartment has been above 85. It's enough to make me want to go to work.
Speaking of, I'll be working tomorrow from 9am until 8pm. Hopefully this will mean I can flex some time off of Friday afternoon, especially if Jen wants to go to New Jersey for the weekend. Although I don't know what's up with that now seeing as she GOT THAT JOB AT LEVENGER (home of snooty classists!) and will now be bringing in some Mo-NAY!
EDIT: Money be damned. We have to turn the effing AC on before we fry. Aaah.
