    Yea, Everything is back to normal with the exception of this damn heat. Its been 100+ for the last 4 days.
    I've had the AC on all weekend. And I have 2 Central AC units at home. One for 1st floor and 1 for 2nd floor.. My Electricity bill is going to be high next month.
    We've used the AC ALLOT over the last month.
