I repeat: I slept in the bedroom.
It was so miserably hot last night, I thought it would be a toss-up: stay awake and sweat to death, or risk the coughing fit in air-conditioned bliss. I slept through the night. The entire night. OK, I was a little stuffed up this morning, etc etc...but, hell, any kind of victory is welcome at this point. Also, no critters that I can see. My winged tormentors seem to have moved to greener (less violent) pastures.

A themed cocktail:

Between the Sheets (OK, so we don't have sheets, plural, in the summer. Work with me, people!)
1 oz cognac
1 oz rum
1 oz cointreau
1/2 oz lemon juice (or to taste)

Shake over ice. Strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist. Drink quickly, then sleep in a real bed for the first time in a week.

Aw man, that rules so much! :)

I'm really glad for you. I'm someone who enjoys their nice, long, comfortable sleeps and a situation like this would drive me barmy.

I just hope that it keeps on like this.
Good luck :)

I love the optimism, man. This is kinda crazy, but more than once I did actually think "what would Si or Paddy do?" Because, hey, staying optimistic is usually the best way (for me) to deal with problems. gives one enough energy and focus to solve the damned thing.

hehehe, it seems I've gotten myself a reputation :)

Cool.
I agree with the optimism for dealing with things. Letting yourself feel down about it can all to easily lead to a downward spiral.
I dont see how feeling bad about something can help you solve it.

Anyways, optimism with an equal dose of reality is usually the way to go, in my opinion :)

actually I probably would have just cried :P

But see, it works! You beat the apartment through sheer willpower

The bugs never should have taken on the woman who vanquished a computerised cocktail maker...

and damn that drink looks nice. Just my kind of drink, cointreau and rum involved...

I hope. One night at a time, and all that. I would never survive the South.
