Mall walkers

[judecorp]

Another hot and sticky one over here. I had plans to clean the bathroom but it was just too stickynastygross to really feel like I cleaned anything, so instead I was a total lump. I sat in the living room under the ceiling fan in my pajamas until after lunch, and then showered the grime away. It was that kind of shower where you try to dry off after and you just can't because it's too wet. Ew.

Because it was so disgustingly sticky, I broke our "no eating out" rule and told Jen that we should go to the mall for a couple of hours and take advantage of their air conditioning. So we ate at the mall and then walked the mall for an hour in the hopes of "making things happen." Yeah, nothing happened except that I also broke our "we will walk the mall but not buy anything" rule, too. Sigh. So then when we got home I had a major freak-out about money. I HATE MONEY! But we did get in an hour of walking, which felt good.

We had about two minutes of wimpy rain this evening so it looks like we won't get a break tonight for sure. Poo. At least we have the bedroom a/c, which is lovely lovely lovely. Right now I think the little one-room a/c is the best choice for us - most of the time the house is cool enough to deal with the ceiling fan, and we'll be spending hardcore time in the bedroom in not too long.

hopemcg and meglett sent us a travel first aid kit and a studly-looking backpack diaper bag, which we received today. So awesome and a total surprise! THANKS GUYS!!

Funniest thing - the last couple of days I'd noticed that the house seemed to get hotter after I turned on the ceiling fan, but I thought I was imagining things. Last night I was bouncing on the ball and realized that when I was under the fan, I didn't feel any air. I told Jen I thought that the fan was spinning the wrong way and she was dubious at first, but flipped the switch for me and HOLY BIG DIFFERENCE, BATMAN! Yay!

Rain forecasted for tomorrow and a visit from Melis. (Yay!) Friday is supposed to be simply gorgeous, weather-wise.

Yeah, I've had a couple of those lately. I prefer to shower at my gym, because it has AC.
You may think it's sticky and nasty, but I'll bet you don't live right next to the neighborhood Dumpster.

It's true. We have our garbage can outside but that is about it. Sorry about the stinky.

Oh, hey! I forgot that thing about reversing the direction of the fans. Now I'm going to go check all of mine. Damn it's hot in here!

hehe, kate and i had that same experience with our fan, i swore it wasnt working right, she said it was just hot, but sure enough a flip of the switch and AHHH... next time we have to listen to the dog, he kept laying underneath the dining room fan and ignoring the bedroom one even though it had a bed underneath it!!... yep he's the smart one in the family!

OK, I'm friending you. I keep stalking your journal for updates, I might as well just take the plunge. I know I've never met you, but I'm so excited about your pregnancy and so excited for your family. Don't worry, I don't expect reciprocal friending or anything. . . I just want to keep up with the frankenbaby.

(In case you don't remember me from comments like seven months ago, I found you through Fertility Friend, and I'm an October '06 mommy.)

Glad you fixed the fan thing! Yeah, if it's running backward, it helps heat. My grandparents will switch them the other way for the winter, and back for the summer. *lol* Seriously, though... just having the fan on doesn't cut it for me. We've got to have the a/c on. (Although... some heat does feel good to me. But only the dry heat. It feels sooooo good out right now. Not sticky at all. Just warm.)
