Ever had a morning where just everything goes wrong? That would be today for me. Happy to have safely arrived at work!
We lost power early this morning. Waited about an hour, didn't come back on. Decided to go out to breakfast with the family to kill time until they got things fixed. Walked outside and discovered a police line tied to our front door and running across the street. Our house was INSIDE the roped off area. Our street was covered in live power lines. Ugh. So a whole day without power.

well that can be a challenge.

So we went to breakfast, then walked to Central Park. Grabbed a horse drawn carriage two hour tour of the city and rode around the whole city in a carriage. It was grand. The littest girl spent some of the time riding up front too but refused to take the reins when offered. We went along the lake front and got a boat tour of the islands too, which was really neat. Stopped an Isla Pirata and had a light snack on the island at the bar and restaurant there. It was an awesome day. Power was on when we got back home.

It is 79 degrees in our bedroom with the room AC running and it feels downright chilly compared to the living room. I mean really chilly! The living room officially has a heat index of 93, but we are pretty sure that it is higher than that given the incredible difference between the rooms. No way is that only fourteen degrees.

The humidity will make it feel hotter than it is.
Split system A/C tends to dry out the air a bit. -

I had to google that as I thought you meant a thermometer.
Anyhoo, got breeze or still air? -
The air in the house is not moving at all. It's very stale at the moment, post rain. In the bedroom we have the AC running and a ceiling fan on.
-
stale hot air is about the worst.
-
Yeah, which is all we had much of the day with the power out.

Just got surprised by a lizard climbing up the window next to me head. He's on the outside and I'm inside and it is closed, but it is dark in the room and light outside so it was pretty surprising to have something that big so close to my head.

I thought there were no windows? or is that only in the main part of the house?

Something that needs to die in a fire, but just won't.

Oh sorry, yes, no windows in the kitchen, dining room, pool area. The living room has a huge door that opens onto the street and the bedrooms have street facing windows.
