Thanks to Emily, I'm able to keep my room fairly cool (I stole her air conditioner, because I just am not able to handle the heat at all with this new med I'm on), so I'm still sleeping under my big comforter. I need the weight, otherwise I don't sleep well. I don't wear socks, though, and my feet stick out from the comforter.

ita, what's your comfort zone, temperature-wise?

I'm happiest between 80 and 90. I'd rather be >90 than <80.

I'm happiest under 80. Although I have to say, a lot of that has to do with air, here. In Aruba, even though it was mid-to-high 80s, the whole time we were there, and it was fairly moist, the tradewinds were the perfect antidote to the heat for me, and I felt like I was in heaven. I've never really been any place else where it is warm all the time, although I went to South Carolina during the summer, when I was a teenager. Then, I felt like I was in Hell.

Yeah, I'm with you, Cindy. Although, I know that it's the humidity that kills me.

It's the humidity that does me in, too. But I've never spent significant time anywhere that isn't humid. I also can't tolerate direct sun for too long, so even though the winds in Aruba were fabulous, I had to sit under a tree or an umbrella a lot, on the beach.

Blah, I lost my previous post.

To sum up: I am at work. Verizon disconnected our phone and DSL early. It is hot. We are returning our W/D today becasue of a rookie homeowner mistake (thankfully discovered before the unites were delivered). We have a new shiny gas grill, a housewarming gift from my folks. Did I mention it is hot?

Nora, you're right. It is hot.

Did you buy too big of a W/D unit?

YAY! for gas grill!

Someone kick my butt into gear. I have so much to do today, and I'm just lazing around in my jammies. Haven't even walked the poor dog. I do have coffee, which is a plus.

I *love* humidity. Dry heat is an adjustment for me. People in New Orleans thought I was crazy because I'd never turn on the AC in my car. It did help that I didn't have to to show up anywhere looking freshly turned out.
