Love that, Jesse.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Caribs (us, not the Indians) use ovens 12 months of the year. I've never quite understood "light summer food". I'd have hot breakfast lunch and dinner all year round in the tropics if I could.
Thank you, Amy. No reason I needed that info...
And Jesse, that dessert thing is ADORABLE.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm fine with eating hot food, or cooking it on the stove. It's just that my air conditioner is really not that strong, and turning on the oven raises the temperature of the whole apartment. I'll use the oven if it's a cool-ish day when I can open the windows and turn on the fans and be reasonably comfortable, but it doesn't look like we're going to have any of those days for a while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought you guys would appreciate that.
My apartment is super hot. It's barely cool now, and it's 60 degrees out and I've had all the windows open all day.

This morning after he'd eaten his fill and I'd completed my walk, the one friendly alley cat (I shall name him Thomas O'Malley) hopped up on the steps next to me and meowed until I started petting him. One of the restaurant guys on my block says he's been living in the alley since he was a kitten, but he was clearly socialized with people early on if he wants affection as well as food/water.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Friend of ours from Boston was in town visiting people and organized(sort of) a dinner mission tonight. He's staying with us through tomorrow.

Uh-oh. One of these days, Mister O'Malley'll follow you inside....
Jesse, do you have a fan you could put in one window to draw air through? That's how I cool things off when it gets cool enough at some point in the day. Leaving it in last night, it was actually chilly in my house in the morning.

The problem overnight is that I only like to have one window (of four in the apartment) open. One is on the fire escape, and the one by my bed has a super loud compressor or some shit outside. The other one has the a/c in it. A day like today is no problem, but 75 degrees are sad because I end up with the a/c on half the time.

Jesse, that's a really sweet story. One of the things I really regret about the way my folks retired is that they left the area where they had some friends and moved a couple of times. And then my sister & I insisted they come out here, where the only people they knew were us.
As a result, they were almost completely socially isolated, as we hadn't realized how impossible it was for even Dad to connect with people, given how difficult Mom was. It's really lovely to see that your father continues to have social interaction with a lot of people.
Speaking of Dad, we got a lot of paperwork and medical stuff done today, and now I have book club but I'm exhausted. Bah.
