It's summer in San Diego and it's been REAALLLLLLYYY hot! I only live a little over a mile from the beach. So you're thinking ok San Diego which doesn't get humid or very hot that's a plus and I live very close to the ocean so I'll be getting an ocean breeze another plus. WRONNNNNNGGGG!
This summer in San Diego has been like being stuck in a sauna. Humid and really hot. Very few days have been nice.

My apartment doesn't have very good air flow either so it's very hot from 11:00 am - 7:00 pm. My windows don't open up and down they slide from left to right. So my selection of air conditioners is very small. In fact the ones I can buy "Portable Air Conditioners" & "Vertical Air Conditioners" are very very expensive. Over $360 for one. The normal A/C's that go in windows that open up and down go for as little as $89.

To avoid the heat in my house I will purposely go to Target, the grocery store or a nearby department store just to walk around and bask in the glory of their air conditioning. You might ask why don't I just drive around in my brand new car with the air conditioning on? Well maybe you live in Caracas, Veneuela where gas is only $0.12/gallon but here its $3.24/gallon. A/C uses lots of gas and I only make a little over $30k/year. I was thinking of getting a 2nd job at Target to enjoy the air conditioning until the sun goes down.

So I am stuck fighting the heat with fans from Target and cold drinks. Only 65 more days til Autumn.

God my life is tough!
