it's been several years since i've been able to open the window when it's raining. the previous apartment had heavy smokers at both side windows and a functional litter box outside the bathroom window. here, i'm on the third floor, but it's a high third floor, so it seems more like a 5th floor.
the bedroom is facing southeast; tonight the rain is blowing in from the northwest, so there's no threat of splash, it's just fresh air.
