Allergies. Usually I can't open windows because of terrible pollen allergies. :(

However, I'm hoping the rain today and the cooler tomorrow means I can open the windows this weekend.

My allergies last from March/April until June. Can't wait for fall!

I sometimes get some nasty allergies as well, the A/C is definitely needed in times like that.

Ha... uh... When you say it like that, I feel kinda stupid for doing this as well. I want it as cold as possible when I sleep (within reason, of course).

Agreed. And in the Winter, I usually keep the heat around 62.

The body gets better rest in a cool, dry climate. Ideal for sleeping is 60-65 with low humidity.

You do realize the effects such cold can have on, ahem, certain parts of the male anatomy now, don't you???

That said, I've already turned the A/C on for a few minutes getting home from work some days to try and reduce the humidity a bit. The high today is already 88.
In her defense it was raining this morning and humid as a ball sack, so opening the window may not have been a great option.

But still. If I had my druthers I wouldn't turn the AC on until July. You really don't need it here before then anyway.
Must be nice.
