Long, unpleasant night last night. After lots of wind gusts in the evening, the night was calm and still, nary a breath of breeze. The temperature was warm, but (and this is amazing for Colorado) the humidity (ooooh! in the 40s!) was killing us.<\/p>\n
After tossing and turning between 2 and 3, I got up and tried to turn on the fan. Nope. Not plugged in, and darned if I was going to try and fumble under things to find the cord and get it into one of the sockets.<\/p>\n
So I tossed and turned, sleeplessly, for another hour. Not a good way to start the week.<\/p>\n
Humidity. Who’d’a thunkit?<\/p>\n
Well, the fan is plugged in, at least, for tonight. When, I’m sure, the weather will be altogether different. Huh. Sooner or later, it will get hot (and dry) again. I’m ready for it.<\/p>\n
Today, off to the Testerfolk for Nobilis (and trying to digest some dozens of pages of rules and suggestions and cheat sheets and the like, let alone not having actually read the book). At least it should be cool in their basement, though if we play on the comfy couches, Margie and I might have problems staying awake …<\/p>\n
I expect things to get more back to normal (bloggingwise, at least) tomorrow, at the office. Though I expect it will also be a pretty busy day. We’ll see. It’s a short week, with Friday (and the following Monday) off, and my folks coming to visit as of Thursday evening, and Katherine’s birthday, and all that jazz.<\/p>\n
