Cool

Before...



...and after!



We've been saying that someday we'll look back on this week and laugh. Well, we're not laughing yet, but that first bit of cool air coming out the vents at least lowered our blood pressure. After a miserable day and a half in our humid greenhouse, we found an almost-too-good-to-be-true deal on a room (for my Dad, who while we were sweating in our house on Sunday was spending four hours sweating in a plane on the runway in New York waiting for thunderstorms to let up) and a suite (for us and Baby) at a basic tourist hotel in Georgetown. As stressful as it was to be away, the A/C helped us keep our collective sanity. Yesterday, we got the good news that we could have our new A/C installed today. Unfortunately, that followed the bad news that the hotel was booked up so we would have to return to the hotbox for another 24 hours before getting any relief. Luckily, between fans, cold showers, and keeping activity to a bare minimum, we survived the night and are now waiting for the house (and our nerves) to slowly cool. Remind me why we live in DC again?
