carpet v. air conditioning

I really need to clean the carpet. I've moved the furniture that needs to be moved. I've vaccuumed the floors. The only thing left to do it plug the cleaner in and go to work.

The dilemma -- If I plug this thing in and turn it on with the air conditioning on the fuse will blow leaving half of the apartment without electricity.

So...

I can clean the carpets without the AC, but it's hot enough in here that it makes it hard to breath

or

I can wait until late at night to clean the carpets when I can turn the AC off, but I will probably get distracted by then and not do it.

or

I can just suck it up and get it over with sans cool air.

O' the conundrum (how do you spell that?)

My reward is that I'm treating myself to a six pack of beer, a few emergency cigarettes, and a movie night with the phones turned off.

Bliss.
