After an entire week of a non-stop heatwave, I was ready for relief.
Our afternoons hadn’t even gone below eighty for the last week. We weren’t even able to appreciate the pool unless we waited until after dark when the air cooled off. The pool water felt more like bath water, but at least it could cool us off enough to sleep. I refused to change the temperature on the temperature control. I knew the rule of keeping the home about fifteen degrees below the outside temperature. I wouldn’t let anyone touch the temperature control in the house. I set the temperature control at ninth-five, in addition to I would not budge with that setting.. They weren’t ecstatic with me, but they agreed to my request. Now that the un-even temperatures have cooled off, we are all much happier. We even decided that it would be a great night to do some grilling. I bought steaks in addition to some potatoes that were begging to be baked in the grill. I couldn’t think how suddenly the skies clouded up, in addition to it rained. My partner refused to leave the steaks. She stood by the grill with an umbrella over her head in addition to the grill. By the time she brought the food inside, she was soaked. The ninth the cooling system hit him, she shivered. I got him a towel, but she told me it was the first time in over a week that she realized the cooling system was even on. My kids thought this was funny in addition to even I had to smile. I knew they were poking fun at me for my being so rigid over the temperature control.
