This Is Really Stressing Me Out

It's Sunday morning as I write this and we've got "special weather statements" about the "early heat event" that's going on right now.  It's warmer than usual for this time of year, so temps in the high 20s.  Which... yeah, that makes me wary for months of it come summer rather than a handful of days of it.

I didn't sleep (much? well?) Thursday night because of the heat, and honestly, I think the lack of a breeze mainly.  Somehow I slept well on Friday night and I woke up feeling like a human on Saturday morning.  And then I didn't really sleep Saturday night so here I am Sunday morning feeling so very miserable.  And kind of panicky.

I feel like I'm already annoyed by the noise of the portable A/C. (Jason pointed out that it's better all round if I start cooling EARLY and keep it cool rather than trying to cool things down later in the morning/day, so as soon as I woke up Sat/Sun the unit went on.  It's not silent.)  It didn't bother me hugely yesterday but maybe that's because I had some sleep backing me up, eh?

So this little spell of weather is supposed to be over by Tuesday or Wednesday and Jason made a much improved (wood) window kit thing for the system and he's super positive that it will make a large difference to the cooling (vs the plastic one it came with that I've been using since I got it) and so today (Sunday) will be the test of it as today is supposed to be 26 or 27.  Yes, warm for us.  Even if not for elsewhere.  

But yeah, the lack of sleep gets to me no matter the time of year and there has been a cool evening breeze giving me life and sleep for the last while and I'm really really missing that right now and can't wait for it to come back... I guess in fall.  Sigh.

And yes, I'll likely complain about this more as summer hits.  About the noise.  And not being able to sleep with a fan on.  And all the things.  But yeah, I'm typing this Sunday morning hoping that by the time this posts I will have had a reasonable day and have actually slept.  I am super stressing out about the next few months of heat.  It sucks.
