good morning gang it's about to get bad in here. and by "here" i mean "my apartment which does not have air conditioning"
#ray speaks#uh oh!!!!!!!#at least im in a basement apartment. basements tend to stay cooler than the ground floor and upper floors#when it got up to ~30 celsius outside it stayed around 24 down here#but now it's going up to 40+ outside.... so we'll see how that goes lol!!!!!!#the good news is that my sister lives nearby and has AC and told me to let her know if my apartment gets unbearable#so i have the option to get some relief from the heat that way#hopefully it will all be fine :')
