It's a whopping 26 C in my bedroom at 10:41pm. Too cold for a shower. I turned off the fan, went looking for an extra sheet for my bed ('cause I know I'll need it in a few hours) and put on pajama pants and a full t-shirt (no tank top tonight!). Brrr. I'm already planning to heat some water tomorrow morning in the kettle for my "shower".
We had a beautiful rain storm this afternoon while I was cooking up a pot of pasta with vegetable sauce (some tomato paste, green pepper, onions, carrot and eggplant!) and it's been cool ever since!
And I know I'm getting used to the place, too, because it didn't even faze (by the way, I originally wrote that "phase") me to dump the mess that the rats had made in the bathroom drawer. How many other people in the world do you know of who come home to find half eaten chicken bones and rat droppings in their bathroom drawers? But I happily got out my little bowl of bleachy water and got to work on that and a few other things that have been chewed upon over the course of the last few months. At least it's a good excuse to give things a good scrub now and again!
I'm also realizing tonight that some things around here haven't changed - the band that plays at the cultural center nearby on Sunday nights is exactly the same! They're even playing the exact same songs that they were playing 4 months ago. Sigh. Even Celine was better than this band. But at least they're one thing that's familiar, and they do a pretty good cover of "Hotel California"!
