Today is hot.

And muggy.

And my youngest daughter's Sweet 16.

We've rented the clubhouse at our apartment.

We are expecting between 40 and 60 people.

Some will be coming back.

To our little apartment. About 100 feet from the clubhouse.

Our apartment AC sucks. It is central air, and the end hits my bedroom.

If I want any comfort in my bedroom, I have to take the vent cover off. And at that point, the rest of the apartment loses air pressure. I'm not allowed to get a window unit. Even with the vent cover off, I still roast on day's like today.

Many years ago our computer room lost AC and they brought in portable AC units. And now they are cheap enough for the masses.

I just got this at HH Greg.

Amana AP095R 9000 BTU Portable Air Conditionerw/ 12hr Timer

For $313. I saw it onsale at PC Richards for $399. And the sign on it at HH Greg was $329. But when they rang it up, it dropped to $313.

I carried it up the step (ok, dragged, slowly, ripping the bottom of the package of on every step). I'm on the 3rd floor. The steps are outside.

Did I mention it is hot and muggy today?

Plugged in to the bedroom, and I love it.

Highly recommended.
