Last night I ran the AC, and probably will again tonight. I removed all the radiators from my home several years ago, but because it’s an old building with a boiler, and because I live directly two floors above it, there is nothing that can be done, so says the Super. Better that Alexander and I should live in a sauna (“You can always open a window,” I’m told) than that the people on the higher floors should be too cold. Love the either-or assertion vs. looking for a real solution.
After two days of rain, the sun finally comes out today and Alexander returns home. I feel the beginnings of an annoying cold: running nose, scratchy throat, and exhaustion for no reason. I shop (but buy nothing), read (but retain little), and eat (without enjoyment). All I want to do is crawl into bed and sleep in my ridiculously warm (80 degree) room, while Alexander and his friends watch football.
