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.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

the dryer we bought was electric, and we didn't have the right outlet voltage. The previous owners had gas, and we are dumb and didn't realize there would be a big difference. Ah well, homeowning, living and learning.

Ah...that's not dumb. Glad you figured it out, though.

I have an electric dryer. At our first house, the home owner either didn't have a dryer, or had something hooked up, other than the 220 outlet you're supposed to have. I disremember, because it's been so long. At this house, they had an electric dryer. That said, I grew up with a gas dryer, liked it better, and am pretty sure my mom said they're cheaper to run, and not as hard on your clothes.
