Heat Wave

Say hello to my new friend!

This week Washington State is experiencing and insane heat wave. Seattle is suppose to hit it's highest forecast ever of 101 at some point tomorrow. It got up to 100 today and is suppose to hit up to 104 tomorrow in our area. Then slowly creeping down to the high 80's by early next week. Our house is in the sun all day and just bakes last night at one am it was 90 degrees in my house even with all the fans on and windows wide open. Livi got up at 6am probably due to the heat, so we started our day early (early for us anyway considering we usually sleep until about 9am) I had to go get an estimate for my car because a guy backed into my car a few weeks ago. We bother were out of the house by 7:30 am. I had decided while getting ready this morning I was determined to find a portable a/c unit. I checked everywhere in Bonney Lake starting at Home Depot, Fred Meyer, Lowes then Target. Nothing not even a fan in stock. I gave up the search got the estimate on my car and decided i'd try my luck at Costco. I got there at 9am and I saw about 5 people in line so I figured they had gotten a shipment of a/c units in. I was right they had 16 portables and 12 window units. Livi and I waited in line for an hour and by almost 10 am there were at least 100 people in line hoping for an a/c. One of the employees came out with sale slips for the units and gave them to people in order of the line up and one a/c per person so yay I was able to get one! Then the kicker was I knew it wouldn't fit in my car thankfully my friend Bree and her hubby Chuck said they'd come pick it up for me, but I had to wait since they had prior commitments this morning. I finally got home with my a/c after 1pm. I was at Costco for almost 4 hours, but it was worth it. I was so proud of Alivia she was such a trooper and hardly threw a fit while we waited for my friends to pick up the a/c. Matt hooked the a/c up this afternoon while I was working and let me just say it's amazing! Livi is passed out on the couch right now and I'll be joining her shortly, still too hot in our rooms. I wish the unit could cool the whole house, but I'll take one large room over nothing.
Passed out tonight on the couch
