I like your style, sumi. Both with desserts and goat chariots.

Fairly random question - the window and balcony door in my new apartment don't have acreens. Is that something relatively easy to add? I like fresh air but I don't so much enjoy the open invitation for small flying creatures. The building is only two years old.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

zuisa, since you're renting, I'd ask the landlord first.

I'm definitely planning on asking (I may watch a lot of HGTV but I'm not very handy :p ), but since this apartment is being given to us I don't even want to ask for stuff if it's going to be a major pain.

Depends on what's already there how much of a pain it would be to add screens, really, although there are things kind of like screen curtains that can easily be added as a temporary measure.

Yeah, and depends a bit on the setup/size of the windows and whether it's standard and stuff. But screens are key really. Maybe they're assuming no one needs fresh air and will use AC?

Am so over this "work" nonsense. Ugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just sent out my all-staff farewell note. I can't believe I still have to stay all afternoon. That's what I get for doing drinks after work on my actual last day!

Aw. Time for a long lunch?

I literally ate at my desk like a sucker! I now realize I should have gone out with the guy whose last day is Friday.

My balcony door doesn't have a screen either, and I've been looking at screen curtains that attach with magnets. But my windows do have screens so that may be sufficient this summer. I've got air conditioning, but I've never used central air in my life, so I want to see what I can do with well placed window fans and ceiling fans.
