Both of us who are currently living in the apartment grew up in Miami, Florida, and yesterday it felt like we were back home - 80 degree weather and high humidity. Even down to the weather patterns - clear in the morning and early afternoon, followed by a powerful fit of rain in the late afternoon.
Well, there IS one major difference between Miami and Cambridge: in Miami, virtually every building has air-conditioning; in Cambridge, not so much. So usually, we like to keep the windows open to allow some cross-ventilation - but we had to close them for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon since otherwise the bathroom, kitchen, dining room and bedrooms (mine especially) would have gotten drenched in the downpour (as it was, all but the bedrooms did get a little wet). So we got a little extra "mug for our buck".
All in all, it was just one of those days where nobody feels like doing anything - if only I could have just hibernated and watched Wimbledon, the World Cup and baseball instead of working, I would have been a happy camper. But alas, I (along with most everyone else) had to peel myself out of the apartment and get some work done - even if it felt like it was happening in slow-motion.
