Upstairs hallway: 80 degrees.
Master bedroom: 78 degrees.
Drew's room: 71-72 degrees.

Thank. Goodness. Drew is happily asleep. If I weren't on call (phone might ring) and had a better tolerance for hard sleeping surfaces, I might consider his floor tonight. His room feels pleasantly cool, mine feels too warm. Still, it could be so much worse.

Today's actual high: 106 degrees. (Topping a record high for this day of 100 degrees. However, our all-time any-day high record is 107, so we didn't tie or break that...quite.)

Yesterday's actual high: 105 degrees. (Topping a previous record of 101 degrees.)

Monday's actual high: 102 degrees. (Tying the previous record.)

Tomorrow's forecast high: 97 degrees. Oh, well, then, we'll be in a cooling trend.

I am so grateful for our heat pump. When we bought this house, it didn't have any form of central air, only the furnace. And most of the year, that's okay, but some days it's not. For those days we used to have portable AC's, but they annoyed me. I am so glad of that now, because having central air has saved our bacon.

Also, thank you to the folks who said our heat pump should be doing better than it was when I griped earlier this year. After several calls and attempts, they found the issues and got it fixed, which again, has saved our bacon. (Well, not literally. I don't think there's any actual bacon in this house. But I digress....)
