Get in fedizens, we’ve made it to Friday.

Yesterday ended up turning out to be somewhat busy for us. It’s been so hot and humid here that the window air conditioners have been having trouble keeping up. The living room one’s been fine, but the bedroom one froze up and consequently started leaking. Which made a huge mess, Which I had to clean up. And we’re going to need to figure out how to get a comforter plus another large blanket rewashed, because they were in range, and the laundry service we pay for because this building’s so old that getting to the laundry room downstairs is essentially inaccessible, to say nothing of no labels or anything like that on the washers and dryers, yeah the whole thing’s just inaccessible, and since Joe doesn’t work here anymore we don’t get any accommodations. So anyway we need to figure out how to deal with that.

So for right now the air conditioners are turned off, and we have some fans on because it’s only going to be 81F/27.22C here today, so we’re going to duke it out with the humidity and brave airing the place out. I’m hoping we’ll get less smoke, because even though the air quality has been good for the last few days it still smells really smoky here and we have humidity like Florida.

Welcome to summer I guess.

We get Rays versus Braves for three games this weekend, so fuck yeah baseball!

And I’m hoping next week will be better.

Gonna go hang up some towels now.

Get in fedizens, we’re doing Wednesday. And I haven’t done one of these in a little while.

First, welcome to all the new people checking out the fediverse by way of Mastodon and of course Lemmy and KBin, along with all the other projects that make up the fediverse. I know a lot of you are coming from Twitter once again, and while I think you and the communities you’ve built deserve way more than death by a thousand fuck-ups, I think you will be able to make a home here.

Second, I’m glad the Fourth is over. The fireworks have been going on here since over the weekend, and really, people who insist on setting them off for days seriously annoy me at this point. I mean hell, we’ve had absolute shit air quality here and you want to fucking add to it because muh freeeeeedom!? To say nothing of all the damn noise. Also you probably spent two-weeks’ salary on them and in less than 5 seconds you’ll be complaining about how expensive gas or groceries are.

Maybe some baseball later on today, and also, it’s hot out there Mr. Bigglesworth. Air quality seems to have calmed down though so there’s that.
