Baby, its cold outside

It was 32 degrees F this morning on my way to work. I actually fully warmed up my car and there was not just a thin layer of frost but an honest to goodness almost ice layer on everything (it's been rainy for months so it's saturating EVERYTHING. It's getting much much chillier.

On a side note, i noticed when i went outside to turn on my car in my PJs (long sleeve shirt and lounge pants) that 32 degrees didn't feel all that cold- even though i was walking on ice. Interesting.

learning a new virtue...

Today it took me about 8 minutes to load a message- a text message- I'd gotten an alert for on my phone. And that phone was connected to WiFi.

If nothing else, I will learn patience while here- i hope

Non-Posessed Washer/Dryer installed

And no, Mom, I did not have a priest come to an exorcism first.

I used the Washer/Dryer yesterday and no fire so we're doing well. But I've had to rearrange my place a bunch this last week and I've spent a lot of time cleaning up the outside walls and patches of floor that are covered in black mold. I'm really not happy about this. These are corners that were behind furniture or under furniture. I can only assume it's due to the floor sweating all winter. But how the heck to I prevent this? I'm assuming it's because of floors sweating at least. And I think that was because the temperature difference between outside and inside was sooo ridiculously different. I tried to clean up as much of the floor sweat as possible but i can't move all the furniture all the time.

If anybody has any ideas/solutions on this, i'd love to know. I'm kinda allergic to the mold and definitely notice it when i get all stuffy.

Still waiting on my new water tank, but who knows when that'll happen. sigh. The washer/dryer were definitely more important. OK, back to work.
