It's freezing in here....

After being without the central air-conditioning since the outside unit died a quick death on Friday, now we're back to the thermostat wars in here. This new unit is more efficient than the old one we had, so naturally it's going to keep the house cooler than we're used to.

But no matter what kind of air-conditioning system is sitting outside this house, my husband and I are always going to want different temperatures inside. He turns the thermostat down, to make it cooler...... I turn it up, to make it warmer.

The service people gave us a new digital thermostat, so now there's no "fudging" when it comes to telling what the thermostat is at..... you can easily see if it's set at 72 degrees or 75. I had gotten very good at tip-toeing silently into the hallway to turn the thermostat up--- that thermostat is right outside my husband's office (bad location for tip-toeing). With this digital thermostat, it makes a tiny clicking sound when you re-set it, so there's no way to hide the temperature change. (Who designed that?)

Oh well..... we have air-conditioning again, and we were very lucky to have the old system die out in May rather than in July or August when outside temperatures are over 100 degrees. I think little Mickey Kitty liked it better in here without the air-conditioning. Once the new system was up and running this afternoon, Mickey curled himself into a blanket and took a nap.

Maybe I can teach that cat to tip-toe into the hallway and work the new thermostat. =^..^=
