The Upstairs Heat

So we had something happen with our AC today....where the air suddenly wasn't blowing as strongly out of the vents as it had been.
Like the air coming out of it was still cold.
But for whatever reason it was barely there.
Like the faintest of faintest of breezes where you could really only feel the air coming  out of it if your hand was like two inches away from the opening of the vent.
Which is quite weak, especially when I'm pretty sure we could feel it from a good foot or so away if not further before now.

At this point I'm halfway thinking that something in the AC unit somewhere froze and that we just need to keep the AC off for a bit in order to let everything thaw out.
As I believe that that's something that can happen? Even in the heatwave we've been experiencing....

In any case.
We decided to keep the AC off for a while, and ended up informing our fourth roomie of this plan to not have the AC blowing because a) it's pointless if it's not really circulating air and b) would be a waste of energy and c) we don't really want to break it further if something is broken.

And I thought that she would take the news alright....like it meant the upstairs would remain slightly hotter.
Which it had been reading about 78. 
So warm, but not as warm as it could have been.

But roomie kinda freaked out.
Saying that it was already 'too hot' and if we couldn't get the AC fixed soon then she would have to go sleep elsewhere for the evening.

Which yah....It makes sense. I think we all have difficulty sleeping well when the house is warmer than like 76 or so. 

But at the same time.
There was literally nothing we could do.
We had gone through various possible solutions to try and fix the airflow and it wasn't working.
So the best thing we had until we could get professionals to come look at the AC was to not have it on. 

*exhales*

I don't understand the freakout.
Yes I understand the dislike of heat. Cus I too don't like heat.
But the freakout doesn't really help any of us.
It's not like we were purposely trying to make the house unlivable.
Things break. 
We get it fixed as fast as we can.
But sometimes that means a day or so with it potentially broken.
Like we're all suffering here. 
Not just you.

XP 
Ugh.
It just gives me flashbacks to the last fourth roomie we had because the AC went out on her too and she had the same sort of freakout about the heat upstairs. 
*exhales*
Like if it's too warm for you upstairs....then just hangout downstairs? 
It's a simple solution right there.

*shakes head*

I don't get it. 

But I hope we get the AC fixed soon regardless because I would like just a bit of peace in the house for once. 

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
