It's been storming almost every day since we moved. The air has been so hot and damp. It seldom gets above 90, but the humidity makes it seem hotter. Why this is a problem is that 1) we don't have AC at our new apartment and 2) I have to close all the windows to keep the rain from blowing in.
I'm only recovering slowly from the strain (even though I carried very few boxes up and down stairs). I still can't do stairs, even unladen, right now. If I venture out, I'm half-crippled or worse for the rest of the day with my knee wobbling and threatening to dump me on my ass. And I've been waking up with headache and blurred vision. I don't like that at all.
Still, there's been progress. We bought the riser feet for the bed, so the bed is now tall enough for many boxes to hid under. Percy can walk upright under the bed now, and he loves that. We found the living room, more or less and the boxes in there don't tower as threateningly as they did. We're still going to need to build a make-shift bookcase or two, so if anyone has any suggestions on what to put in between the boards besides bricks and/or cinder blocks, I'm open to suggestion. Old ones of those are dirty and icky. New ones are expensive. Though I just had the wicked idea of scoring some discard books from the library that are the same height and gluing them together, like scary bookends. The right books would only cost a quart apiece.
Cantropos is starting Delta Green today for our Sunday gaming pleasure. I have no idea who to snag to play since whoever it is will likely die very quickly or go mad. I get so attached to my characters. Mage Armand will not go away or shut up. I swear I'm going to have to write something with him to appease him, while DF!Armand is fading into a heart-achingly sad silence.
