We removed the black painted door to the ill-used closet in the music room, put in the tool box and music books, and a cat.
Ok, the cat went in by himself. D took this image in the wee hours. Moby would have liked to get to the top shelf, but there isn't a clear path up. We may need to rig something for him.
Makes a nice niche, lighter and more open. Not sure what we will do with the old door, perhaps it will become part of the back porch renovation, if we ever get to that. Certainly, it will hang out on the back porch.
Doing a lot of rethinking how we use the space. Clearing away clutter and making closets designed for hanging clothes work for other purposes.
Woke with Aunt Evelyn's voice, how often she woke "drenched, just drenched!" Hot flashes I assume, or symptoms of more serious conditions brewing later. I've not had to deal with that much sweat, a tad damp is all. Weirdly, the insides of my elbows (antecubital space fyi) is the sweatiest of all. Slept very well last night, with only a few wake-ups to throw off covers and a velcro cat (Eleanor). If the process would only let me sleep, I really wouldn't mind.Then cold, then the shivering sets in, but I always know it's not real. I have an imp fucking with the HVAC.
"Hey! Hey! wake up! Ok, now I'm going to turn the thermostat WAAAAAYYYY UP!" Whoosh.
"OH, whoops! Better turn it all the way back down now!"
No rain yet, still waiting.

I don't envy you the temp swings; when I was feverish a few weeks ago I got mega shivery cold alternating with sweating so much I couldn't stay in my bed it was so damp. It sounds like what you have isn't as extreme but unpleasant none-the-less. As I understand it, eventually they'll stop, hopefully that isn't to far down the road.
Phil,
I find them much worse than fever/chills from a virus, actually. But thanks for the thought.
When I went through all that, I had a remote-controlled window air conditioner aimed right at my bed. (Not sure how D would like that, but maybe a fan?) At work, we had a walk-in cold room across from our lab. So those things really helped. Still, only slept about every 5/6 days. It does pass.
Read you every day. I've got a cat that looks a lot like Moby.

I know how you feel...the Pirate,being on Hormone Therapy ("belt and braces" treatment after radiotherapy for prostate cancer)has hot flushes/flashes...he uses breathing to cool down, breathing in through nose and "breathing out the heat" gently through the mouth...it works.
Needed less heating this winter past !!
gz,
Oh, thank you, I'm trying that. Of course, since I read this I haven't had one.
Arlene,
Welcome. I've been known to take my shoes off and stand on the cold floor in my socks at work. At home, ice packs. But in the middle of the night, I just ride them out, up, then down.
i have heard that thing cats do referred to as "closeteering".
Flask,
HA! I like that.
