It looks like two more nights of sleeping with the fans. It's actually not so bad. I grew up and then lived 4 years in the Philippines without it. But, oh, it will be glorious to have it back. Plus, it will help my wallet cry itself to sleep.

For years, our AC kept cutting out on the hottest days.  We’ve had technicians out on multiple occasions.  No one could find an issue because it kept working before they showed up or while they were there.  Our AC was getting old we had enough.  The next time it happened we just had it all replaced.  A few months later, it happened again.  A brand new ac acting up!  Surely it’s not the new ac right?  I poked around and for the first time in 8 or so years of owning the house,I noticed this box on my garage wall.  Had a few lights.  Indicated power to the ac was off.  I called FPL  Turns out, we were on some stupid program were we agreed to have it turned off during periods of unusually high power demands.  We’re no longer on that program.
