Worried

Thursday July 21st

I have been upset that I haven't been to the beach this summer but I got over it really quickly when I had the opportunity to go to Lake Junaluska in NC with my best friend, Rebecca. I've been to the family lake house before but it was always in the Fall and the weather was chilly. So, I was looking forward to seeing the lake in a different season. I got there mid afternoon on Thursday and it was BEAUTIFUL!! The temperature was in the mid 80's but on the cute little porch with the fan blowing it was perfect. The house does not have air conditioning. I don't know how I missed that bit of information and I guess it never came up before until I asked "Um, are we going to leave the windows in the house up all night?" Rebecca chuckled and said "Yeah, because we don't have air conditioning."

So this is when I started worrying. WHAT?!?! No air conditioning?? What have I gotten myself into??? I tried hard not to think about it during dinner but no joke I was worried that I was going to wake up in a puddle of sweat.

Finally, it's time to go to bed and start this sweating session. I typically do not sleep with the ceiling fan on full blast but I was happy to see that there was one in every room and I wasn't going to take any chances on sweating through the night.

I was really tired so I fell asleep easily and prayed that I'll be able to sleep through the night. I'm proud to announce that I didn't sweat through the night but at 3:30 am I had to pull a blanket over me because I got cold. Yep. I don't go to the mountains a lot in the summer but I'm now a fan since the weather is typically cooler than Upstate SC.

I enjoyed the rest of my time there. The lake was so peaceful and we got a lot of eating, sleeping, reading, and talking done. What more could I ask for?
