Yet another warm week ... some of the nights were OK but I hardly got any sleep because of the heat.  I had two fans going, even ran the house fan and still too much ... just miserable.  I tried to run the AC for about 15 minutes and then turned it back off.  I am not sure how fast condensation takes to build up but don't want to risk further damage.  I have also been taking 2 to 3 showers a day too because the humidity is higher than normal here.  The heat, the humidity ... feels like back in Florida again!

 Weekly Update:
I bought this mini portable AC unit but what it really is, a mini desk fan.  I thought it might work for cooling an area a little bit and it sort of works but it is quiet.  Basically you put water in it and it soaks the fiber filter and a fan blows through the filter hoping it will be cooler air.  I have been putting cold water in it and an occasional ice cube as it melted and would drip cold water.  It works well but not great however on the flip side it was inexpensive and wanted to try anything till the AC unit is fixed.  I also tried putting water in the filter (soaked) and in the freezer.  That actually worked really well however water expands and it was hard to get the filter back inside the unit without fearing damaging it.  So, it's really a nice portable fan more than anything.  And we continue to wait ... 

 At the movies:
Horror takes the box office as predicted but with some low numbers than projected.  New at #1 is IT Chapter Two with 91 million to open.  Below expectations but of course a strong number for a September release.  Dropping down to #2 is "Angel Has Fallen" with 6 mil as this film struggles along.  Hanging on to the #3 spot is "Good Boys" with 5.4 mil extra and their Summer is officially over.  Still purring in at #4 is "The Lion King" earning 4.2 mil more as the lion will sleep soon tonight.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Overcomer" with 3.8 mil extra and barely hanging on.
