i can keep the window AC upstairs on energy saver. We're having a heat wave.

It's been a humid mid 90s for much of the week.  And i've been sleeping upstairs for the past few nights.  Normal summer temps around here are like 85 by day and 65 or 70  by night.  So a fan and a parted curtain does the trick.  When my husband was alive, we'd have all the ceiling fans running.  But those days are gone, i am real careful with things.  Have to be.  Last summer, we ate suppers out somewhere, where the place was air-conditioned.  As i write this, i have a medium skillet of veges sauteing in butter.  Normally, the house doesn't get hot...normally.  With the humidity, it's been like in the 100s.  The kitchen won't get too hotter, veges can saute on low.  Just veges, i had chicken earlier from the deli.
