I'm heading back east in a few days for a family reunion. I'll be gone about five days.

My apartment is on the first floor and shaded on one side, so it doesn't get terribly hot. It DOES get warm and a little stuffy, though. At the moment, I'm leaving windows cracked with window locks, so that Don Juan and Zerlina can get a little fresh air. That would be a bad idea if I'm actually away for a few days, though.

A friend of mine is looking after the kitties while I'm away. She's very good about visiting with them, giving them lap time and lovies. I'm sure she'd be willing to open the windows and turn on the fans while she's there. I've also thought about leaving the air conditioner on the "fan only" setting, but it would run CONSTANTLY until someone turns it off.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
