How to make my apartment not look like a crackhouse

So it's motherfucking 90f/32c today and it's only gonna get worse this week & we have no AC. the damn place is 88/31 INDOORS. and it stays like that all night long.

i bought a fan, but it's not doing jack to help.

then i read somewhere that putting tin foil on windows will help prevent as much heat from getting in.

my only concern is whether it'll look too suspicious. last thing i need is to have the police kicking down my door at 3 in the morning because they think I'm cooking up meth or something.

in reality, the only thing that's being cooked is me and the hub 😱

am I being paranoid?? any other ideas?

Can you go buy a small window unit AC?

Or even look on Craigslist for something inexpensive.

But idk about the tinfoil thing ... sorry.

I would, but our windows don't open. they're sealed completely shut.

Car window visor?

I did that when we had 115 heat a month ago or so. The morning sun hits my window and my room turns into an oven. I put one of those up just to help cut back on the raging sunlight that day.

Window fans help a bit too. We just got a really big one last night to put in the upstairs window and it cooled things off up here considerably. The trick is to face it outward so it sucks out all the hot air.
