From One Extreme to the Other...

Well... the apartment maintenance team fixed the air conditioning.

I think.

We've officially gone from living in Hades to renting an apartment somewhere just outside the Arctic Circle.

Last week I couldn't sleep because it was so hot. Last night I finally got some wonderful sleep... mostly because I pulled the blankets completely over my head and pretended I was camping in Alaska.

Progress?

I'm pretty sure I saw a penguin wander through the living room this morning. He looked around, nodded approvingly, and asked if he could invite a few friends over.

Meanwhile, I'm peeking out the window at everyone wearing shorts, flip-flops, and tank tops while I'm online shopping for expedition parkas, insulated boots, thermal socks, and emergency supplies for surviving the next Ice Age.

I've started wondering practical things...

"Should I drip the faucets so the pipes don't freeze?"

"Do they make electric blankets for July?"

"If I build an igloo in the living room, will it help with the heating bill?"

I'm not saying it's cold... but I opened the freezer and it actually felt warmer.

The funny thing is that after spending more than a week sweating through a heat wave, I almost don't want to complain. Sleeping through the night felt amazing. I'll gladly take waking up looking like a human burrito over lying awake melting into the mattress.

There are a few unexpected perks, too.

The ice cream isn't melting.

The chocolate stays perfectly solid.

The mosquitoes are probably filing complaints.

And my box fan has officially been promoted to "decorative furniture."

With any luck, maintenance will discover that thermostats have more than two settings: Inferno and Penguin Habitat.

Until then, if anyone needs me, I'll be inside wearing three blankets, sipping hot cocoa, and trying to convince the penguins to stop stealing all the good seats on the couch.

Stay cool... just maybe not this cool.

Love,

Mel
