Welcome to the Swamp

It's that time of year again. The weather has gotten warmer, and as I walked around my living room today I heard this familiar sound:

"shwick...shwick...shwick..."

That would be the sound of my shoes sticking to the floor. And this time it isn't because I haven't mopped in a while (even though I haven't). The stickiness is the result of the swamp cooler. It's time once again for every surface to be slightly sticky, every door to not close without a fight, and the adhesive on my piano keys to loosen, sending the tops of the keys flying off with every scale.

Looking on the bright side, at least we get to be cool and sticky, instead of hot and sticky.

p.s. I really do appreciate the fact that my husband is willing to get up on the roof all the time and make the thing work. Every year it's something. This year he had to rewire it to get it running. Thank you Steve!
