It's that time of year when you wake up shivering and walk home from work sweating, feeling silly for the gloves and scarf you have stuffed in your bag. My schedule probably exacerbates these extremes--with the daylight savings' "spring forward" I am even going into work in the dark. It seems like our heat has been permanently turned off in the apartment (in their defense Sunday was the first of spring). But as surprised as I am to say this, I miss waking up to the hiss and spittle of the radiator, because waking up to silence means stepping out onto a cold floor and not having a handy clothes-toaster ready to warm my socks in the morning. And as crazy as it sounds, there's a chance of snow in the forecast. I long for the day when I have a thermostat that I can completely and exclusively control.
In other news, one door that has been creaking for months has stopped, and another that has been silent for the last year immediately started. The first few spring bugs have started showing up and the new neighbors downstairs have an occasionally noisy dog, but really I don't have much to complain about these days. Hope this doesn't jinx me.
