Someone ought to open up a window

[sovay]

I have a second air conditioner. It makes earsplitting electronic noises any time you change its settings, temperature included, and I'm not sure why it needs a remote control, but it is in the living room window and therefore I can sit on the couch and type without heatstroke for the first time in weeks. I wrote this paragraph originally in all-caps and then realized that might make it a little hard to read, but that's how strongly I feel about this development. The main body of the apartment has been almost uninhabitable by me ever since temperatures spiked in late June and I really didn't relish the idea of living almost strictly at my desk until September. This is much, much better.

I had less luck in obtaining a protective case for my cellphone, since it's something like five years old at this point and I don't even think Verizon could replace it if it died. The Verizon store, the AT&T store, and Radio Shack all pointed me toward the internet. I shall begin this process tomorrow.

Because I was in Lexington for most of the day, I constructed dinner out of leftovers. A hot dog sandwich was exactly what I wanted to eat tonight. Then it turned out Berman's sells Green River Ambrosia's Ginger Libation, the ginger beer discovered at derspatchel's reunion that is not a spiky ginger-flavored soft drink but an actual fermented ginger brew, so I took a bottle back to Somerville with me for consumption in future.

(Same establishment also makes a mead called Liquid Sunshine, of which Rob and I had half a glass at Grendel's once for free, because half a glass turned out to be all they had in stock and the waitress felt bad for us. It was brilliant stuff. Not apparently sold around here. I am going to see if I can order any through Ball Square Wines. You could feel the honey-sweetness in it rebound.)

I feel physically like hell—all the throatsore, congested symptoms of a viral cold, plus some bonus exhaustion because I don't get enough of that in my life—but I am not, actually, in a bad mood at all.

Hooray for adequate temperature control!

I hope you feel much better soon, and that ordering mead and phone cases goes more easily and cheaply than you anticipate.

Thank you! The phone case situation is still on hold, but I have e-mailed the theoretically appropriate person about mead and we'll see what happens!
