Hot and Cold

Why is it that we have to go straight past jacket weather into colder weather? I would like to just ease into it instead of going from summer to winter. Ah well, at least it's cooling off.

So my air conditioner got fixed just in time for this cold snap - haha. I am just hoping everything goes smoothly with the heater now. :p

I was reflecting on my last post today as I sat at work worrying about my air conditioner. Here we had the other extreme - focusing too much on my apartment. Well, probably not too much but it was distracting.

This weekend was affected by it too as the comfort that you should feel at home was taken away from me. It affected other parts of my life as well: I didn't feel like I could communicate as well because I was distracted, sitting in a hot apartment, and only thinking about what I needed to do to fix it. I talked to both my mom and dad but had to cut them both off as I was just plain grumpy on the phone and couldn't concentrate.

Today I felt uneasy at work as I didn't know what was going on at home, hoping I would return to comfort instead of more problems. I checked in with the complex in the middle of the day and felt a bit more at ease as it was fixed.

It's just that apartment living took center stage today but in a pretty negative way. I am feeling a bit sad and homesick today just because I can't rely on my apartment to be my home yet. I need to feel completely comfortable - it is supposed to be my sanctuary and it really sucks when that's out of balance.

Tomorrow is another day. Tomorrow I will be focusing on bundling up. ;)
