it's certainly not any better than last night (when i didn't get cold until around 3:00), so i need to get out of here for the night, at least.

unfortunately, there's some chance of rain tonight, but it looks fairly minor. the low is 21, which is ok with a sweater, but kind of a cool night, overall.

so, i'm just going to put a sweater on and go out sit on my step. i should be able to continue doing laundry, that way. and, i won't need to spend $10 on coffee.

it will get much better tomorrow. but, i learned today that the crux of the problem really is that the a/c is just simply set way too low. the high ended up being a slightly cool 27, which is still not much more than enough to turn the heat off, but the a/c was running like it was 45 degrees outside. it's just a fundamental disconnect with reality...

for right now, i just need to get to a warmer environment so i can do some work. we'll see what the long-term ramifications of what happened today really are, in time.
