Love this. Ha! I hesitate to turn on the central air thingy on the thermostat for a million similar reasons and then spend the day grumpy and hot (and guilty, hearing my parents' and other relatives' voices in my head). One day, I took three cool showers and realized, all this extra water consumption is just as bad as running the AC, dried off, and turned on the AC to a relatively warm setting. It kept the house warm-ish, not like an ice box which I hate, but it cut the humidity down and, la di da, sudden I was less grumpy. And I slept much better.
