No longer melting

The air conditioning guy came yesterday, and diagnosed the problem as a frozen air conditioner. He recommended changing the filter (the old one was marginal) and turning off the a/c for a day or more, until everything melted.

I did so, and turned it back on around noon today. The temperature has been steadily dropping, and is getting close to the 75 degrees I keep it in summer. The fact that it's no longer sweltering outside probably helps, too.

I expect to sleep much better tonight.
