Recipe for a Terrible Sleep

Ingredients:
summer heat (yes, evenings are hot already)
dysfunctional air conditioner
mosquitos

Instructions:
1. Turn on air conditioner until room is cold.
2. Turn off air conditioner (as it is too cold even on low setting to leave on) and sleep.
3. Wake up with several mosquito bites stinging.
4. Get up and search for plug in apparatus that releases Raid mosquito killer into air; try to avoid inhaling mosquito killer in too deeply yourself.
5. Rub whatever cream you have onto swollen bites and make a mental note to try to buy after-bite cream or calamine lotion.
6. Get into bed and turn on air conditioner again to wait until cool enough to turn off. (If you suffer from 'dry eye', this is a good time to apply eye drops.)
7. Listen for mosquito whine (they are easier to kill after being drugged with Raid) until you drift asleep.
8. Wake up hot and sweaty and play with the air conditioner again...
