Getting it done, msbelle!
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I am allergic to All The Pollens And Also Mold, but the real kicker is dust mites because they live on my freaking skin*. So yeah, seasonal allergies, but also allergies to my actual own skin which is all the time.
*Technically on everyone's skin, not just mine. I am not an ecological preserve for dust mites.
A/C = yes please. For many years we were so proud of getting by with just the ceiling fans. And then just the one window unit in the baby's room. And then just window units in the bedrooms. And then last summer I said fuck this and I went to Costco and bought a big-ass window unit for the living/dining/kitchen and OMGHELLYES. The new house has central air, so we're leaving the window units in for the buyer, if they want them.

See, I assume that the climate of NYC is, in general, a lot like Cincinnati (I was in NYC for the 4th of July where half the damn city got heatstroke, so you can't fool me), so I am always blown away at people not having a/c. Although people here don't have it, too, so really I've just sold my soul to central air. Happily.

All right, I had some beers and socialized with coworkers and their dogs, and now I'm finally headed home. Errands will get done tomorrow, I guess. Oh, but I do need to stop at the grocery store for milk.
Not having central air anymore is still pretty weird.

I want more, but being reasonable.

Oooh, those are some fine shoes!
I only ever had central air once. It was nice at the time, and I probably will go for a wall unit at some point, but I don't think I ned the full shebang here.

I refused to live in an apartment in DC if it didn't have central air. Now I don't have any ac, but it's normally fine. We shall see this summer, when I'm home more than I used to be, how it goes. Otoh, the coworking space I joined does have ac, so I might just hang out there a lot?
