Rich world problem 2
Finally two blessedly COOL days after way too many hots.
Weather Bureau shows the extent.... from 102 to 38.
During hot periods I skip some weekly-type chores like cleaning the stove, and skip some fun stuff like electronics. No extra brainpower available. Air conditioner maintains a 20-degree delta, which is fine when the outside hits 95 but not fine when the outside hits 100 repeatedly.
When the outside finally gets cool I think OH BOY! Now I can enjoy the fun stuff!
Nope. I do get the weekly-type chores done. But instead of fun stuff I just sleep extra.
Annoying but revealing. What I'm REALLY missing in the heat is not fun but proper sleep.
After the cool continues for more than two days, the fun can resume.

Later thought: The curve is interesting. It's not a sine. More like an RC with a time constant around 18 hours, charging and discharging in response to a square-wave input.
