After I dropped Bryan at work this afternoon*, I had a couple of errands to run. I did so with the car windows open (not fully, but it's a start) and wishing I knew where my clip-ons were. I passed one of those illuminated signs that gives the time and temperature, and it was 50 degrees.
We've reached the high 40s-low 50s a couple of times already, but those days have been so windy it's not been nearly as enjoyable as it is today.
I opened the windows when I got home and aired out the apartment. I had to close them after a while because it got a little chilly inside, but it was so nice to have some fresh air.
We've only lived in this apartment since November, so I don't know what it will be like in the spring. However, since we are in a corner unit with a sliding door and two big windows on the north side and two big windows on the east side, my guess is that there will be a positively delicious cross-breeze. I can't wait.
We're currently limited to one car - there's something wrong with Bryan's beloved Outback, and we need to wait until our state tax refund comes in before we can fix it. Thank goodness we both work in the same town, for the same company, and it's only 3.5 miles from home. I have no idea what we would have done if we still both worked 30-45 minutes from home, in opposite directions.
Okay, well, yeah, I know what we would have done - Bryan's parents would have helped us out, as they always did, but I'm thankful that it's no longer necessary. We might not have the funds to fix it right this minute, and we might have to wait for the refund to come in on order to get it done, but luckily we're now in a position where we can survive with one vehicle until that happens.
