11. I don't have A/C in my bedroom so it's not fun.

I put up silver bubble wrap on my windows. I have a corner unit apt. which gets sun all day long. It helps... but just.
I'm more worried about next week with sustained high temps but I got through it last summer. It's just bizarre for this to happen so early. It's still winter!!

And boy do I wish I had the money to live near the coast. Much better temps there.

While I'm glad it's dry heat, I worry about fires.
