R: My apartment is cold. I don't know why it is so cold. Well, actually I do since I discovered that the air-conditioning units in the wall leak cold air. BUT up until this point, the apartment has been super hot, like blazing hot. It made me incredibly happy. I don't know if it's just to sudden drop in temperature - perhaps the temperature of the building has not been adjusted enough - but it is now noticeably chilly indoors. I tried covering the leaky AC unit with a blanket but alas, it is still cold.
On the bright side, the uncomfortably cool temperatures at home have, oddly enough, driven me to be more productive. It's not so cold that I have to wear several layers while huddled in a ball under my comforter, refusing to move. Yet it is not warm enough to sit comfortably watching TV or reading a book in just a T-shirt and jeans. Thus, I have taken to constant activity and have even motivated enough to venture outside to run much detested errands. The most detested chore of all, however, is handwashing my handwashables; nothing exhausts me more than the idea of washing and drying my clothes by hand - not even doing the dishes. Thanks to the sinking temperatures in my home, that chore was almost pleasant.
C: Stopped by Central Square to have a friend fix my computer after repeatedly getting a very frightening blue screen while trying to use a program that he designed. Lucky for him, the problem did turn out to be a separate application, and not his. UGH (haha, this sounded like a better acronym than when I actually typed it out) is also an avid apartment-gardener. Each time I visit, he seems to have new progeny; this is his passion...fruit plant. Apparently, I am not allowed to spills the secrets of his garden just yet, so stay tuned...I'll have a link posted soon. So get on that, buddy.
