I really not a big fan of refrigerated
air i.e. air-conditioned. In fact I have not used air-conditioning
this summer making my apartment of virtual hotbox. I think the
apartment hovers around 84° to 85° possibly a little higher than
this is really only if it's like 90+ degrees outside. I like to open
my door to my patio especially now that I've figured out how to use
the screen door effectively. I also keep the window next to my bed
halfway open so not only can I hear the noises from the park but I
get breezes throughout the night. I have really enjoyed this past
summer, with the elevated heat, has been not using any blankets at
all through the night. If and when I needed relief from the hotbox I
just opened the door to the hallway. The temperature in a hallway is
a cool 72°. In my own self absorbed away have not really thought of
other individuals entering my apartment and how this temperature
increase may or may not affect them.
I past a strange night last night. I
could've got more sleep but I didn't partially because of issues to
my power chair. I was up a half hour later than usual trying to
overcome a challenge I was having with my chair. I'm just glad I did
not have to stay up all night or have to call the fire department or
somebody else save my pathetic but once again. Luckily I solved the
problem but I'm sure back asleep affected the way I perceive my day.
When my staff (Dana) came in this morning she immediately became
emotional freaking out about how hot my apartment was. She was kind
of totally freaking out. I was getting worried she was going to walk
right out the door and then what would I do? I really was going to on
the air conditioner last night before I went to bed but due to all
the trauma I completely forgot. My staff was immediately cycling into
a migraine headache condition she swears is brought on by excessive
heat. I simply had taken care of. I sent her out to the hall to bask
in 72° temperature while I suppositories kicked in and kicked out
(hopefully 15 minutes). My staff, Dana is great. I do not want to
lose her – – she had a veiled threat that if I did not comply
with lower temperature she would be forced to stop serving me over
the summer months. I'm sure I would survive if she followed through
with such a threat but I like her and she really does a great job
with me. I can figure out or stand to live in a lower temperature if
it means keeping the staff happy. It's not like Dana is holding me
hostage, I could easily request the new attendant. I think I would
ever be able to replace Sunny when she quit or got herself fired but
I did in some ways replacing my dear Sunny was an upgrade. I sure do
not want to go through that again but I think I'm going to have to.
Dana has dropped a couple ends that she may not be around that much
longer. The lesson I think I have to learn is that staff does not
last forever still want to keep my staff happy if I can. So whether I
like it or not I'm turning on the air conditioner and torquing down
the heat.
