I tried sleeping with the window open, with earplugs in, and the right earplug made my head hurt. It never cools off that much at night between two 100°F days in Portland so I don’t know why I didn’t just leave the air conditioner going. I also don’t know why my head has been hurting so much lately, but I’m blaming it on my hay fever and my sinuses. Eventually I’ll find out if I’m wrong.

My ex called today and wanted help moving her air conditioner up from the basement. I couldn’t say no. She wanted it upstairs and it was over 100°F for the second day in a row today. It must have been even hotter upstairs. Lucky for me, it was a tiny air conditioner and much easier to move than the monstrosity I have. I even got dinner for my trouble. If it was my sister asking for this favor, she’d probably have some cast-iron multi-hundred-pound thing and then she’d only give me half a cookie for my trouble.

I sure am looking forward to the cooler weather.
