Flooding

As if on cue, the pipes several floors up have exploded once again. My girlfriend's apartment was waterlogged this morning, so she came down and cooked breakfast on my stove. She moves out next week.

Temperature Regulation

I've always dimly registered that it was a problem, but I'm starting to come fully to terms with just how big a deal it is to have proper temperature regulation in an apartment. Every spring and fall, when the temperature falls and rises chaotically, there's a few months where my sleep suffers. These apartments have only wall mounted units (and we're not supposed to run the electric heat if we can avoid it), so there's not a huge amount of temperature regulation available.

Most of the other places I've lived had solid central heat/cooling. I'm starting to long for that again.
