Half of the laundry has been put away. I still have to bring the towels up from the dryer and fold them and shove them in the cupboard. The dishwasher is running. Not all of the dirty dishes fit, but I got as many in as I could.

Scott and I are having ceiling fan wars. He maintains that it is horribly cold in here, and I maintain that it is horribly hot. The fans help a little bit for me, but they make things unbearable for him. I have no idea how to compromise on this one if we want to be in the same room. Scott wants to to do a bunch of things outside today— mowing the lawn and cleaning the car are definite. I can’t remember the rest of the list. Maybe that will mean I can have the damned ceiling fans on.

For now, I need to find something reasonable for breakfast. All I’ve had so far is some pita chips, and that’s not sustainable. I’m just both afraid of eating the wrong thing and setting off the IBS again and tired enough that almost everything feels too difficult to manage. I really, really wish I could eat eggs.

I agree: It makes more sense to cool the house down to a temperature that is comfortable for you, and then have the cold people bundle up -- since you can't really individually cool yourself down in a warm house the way a person who is cold can put on more clothes to be warmer in a cold house. And I say this as a person who is always one of the people who are cold. Though there *is* a point when the house is just so very cold that bundling up doesn't help -- like when my fingers start to crack from the cold, or the toilet seat is shockingly cold. But probably those are only wintertime problems.

Well, I walked home from dropping Cordelia at school at 8:00 this morning and ended up having to take off my jacket entirely because I overheated. I was comfortable in short sleeves. I'm not convinced that we can afford to cool the house to the point where I'm going to be comfortable.

Yikes! What other options do you have? Drinking lots of cold liquid? Ice foot-baths? Parking yourself for the summer inside one of those horribly over-chilled office buildings? Hm. None of these sounds like it would work well.

I don't know... Maybe I can figure out a way to set up in the basement and be comfortable? That would at least be a little cooler than upstairs. It would, however, require a lot of time cleaning down there and probably finding some furniture.
