In other news, the new air conditioner has been installed, but the fumes from the adhesive and caulking stuff they used has aggravated my lungs somewhat. Good news is that I've used the fan and vent function and am running it to get the fumes out of the house. The stuff really stinks, and made my eyes water, not to mention made me feel my lungs were seared. Last night the only two rooms in the house that were good were the den and the bedroom, because I had closed the doors to those rooms. It's better upstairs today, but playing the game of Dominant Species last night was...interesting. (More on that game later today.) The sciatica is still present, probably aggravated by the coughing, of course, but it seems to be a bit better today. Which is interesting given that I lay on my back most of last night, which I'm not supposed to. Didn't sleep that well last night. Got woken up by my bladder around 1:30 am, and then woke up again at about 5:00 am, and couldn't get back to sleep.
In the meantime, been taking it somewhat easy this morning, and plan to do a bit of writing this afternoon.
