The heat? Can go away now
My house is a friggin' oven.
Despite this, I managed to pick up the massive amount of papers that have been littering my living room for the past month or two. And I did all the Azkatraz and Pennsic laundry.
But not without some difficulty.
My laundromat closed! Sometime since the last time I was there (which I think was after War Practice?) the place completely went away.
So I took a brief-ish drive (um, I missed a turn and wound up exploring bits of Belmont rather than turning back), came back home, and hopped on the net to find another one.
I did find one - closer to home, in fact, than my old one - but I don't like it as much. It's smaller, the machines are not interfaced as well, and there aren't as many other services in the plaza it's in. It's also a little more expensive than the old place. But, there is a Dunkin' and there's not a *whole* lot of options for this kind of thing. Well, there are a couple places well within town and there's a place in Watertown not too far away. But given how seldom I really *need* to do laundry in a laundromat, I don't know if I'll shop around.
Anyway. It's damn hot. Despite two rainshowers coming through, I can't seem to get the cool *into* the house. I've had two fans, one up on a table in front of an open window, going. I think I'm going to leave at least one running this evening to see if it'll bring the cooler air in overnight, and maybe shut up the windows in the morning to keep the heat *out*. But jeepers. It just kills my productivity. Not that my productivity is high in the first place.
Bleah.
Bedtime.
