An electric to blow me

Amazingly, last night I don't need to turn on an electric fan to blow me. What's better, the weather was so cool that I unconsciously grabbed a blanket to cover my belly.

... an electric fan to cool me down ...

Hi,

Do both of the above two versions sound good to you?

If not, how should I rewrite them? Thanks.

" If it were my sentence entirely: Amazingly, it was cool enough last night that I didn't need my electric fan to help keep me cool, and in fact, it was so cool that I actually wanted a blanked to cover up with!

***, no, do NOT say "blow me."

You can say "to cool me down" or "to keep me cool."

I won't say "to cover my belly" but just "to cover myself up."

If it were my sentence entirely:

Amazingly, it was cool enough last night that I didn't need my electric fan to help keep me cool, and in fact, it was so cool that I actually wanted a blanked to cover up with!

Thanks, GG.

By the way, is it right and about the same to say the following?

I enjoy the electric fan.

I like the elcetric fan to keep me cool.

I like the electric fan.

I wouldn't say "I enjoy" a fan. It makes it sound like there is an element of fun or enterainment related to it.

If you say either one or two, it sounds to me as though you had been discussing various ways to keep cool, perhaps open windows, a fan, a window-based air conditioner, or central air. You say that you like the electric fan (compared to the others).

I use an electric
