More specifically (I hope), something in it. Not Sam, happily, but every time I go in there, I’m all stuffed up within a few minutes.

We keep that room closed and have a window a/c unit in there because the house a/c just doesn’t keep up so well. 1We had to put a unit in Katie’s room, too-it really wasn’t factored into the tonnage on the a/c unit ( Read more... )

Please note: Yes, I am referring to today, the 12th, which is my birthday. Those close to me know that I generally hate my birthday, as it’s a reminder of multiple miscarriages and other nasty things happening around this time several years in a row.
