I live in Maine.
Today is November 1rst.
We’re still waiting for the oh so special Marvin window reps to grace us with their presence and friends, let me tell you… things are starting to get real up in here.
Last night the temps dropped into the 30’s and the wind blew for hours. And when I say it blew… I mean right into the bedroom through the gaps in the faulty windows that are on either side of our bed.
Cold drafts on my neck? Yes.
High pitched whistling that woke me up at 2:09am? You betcha.
Now I don’t know about you, but I am not my best self at 2:09am. Being a lifelong insomniac means the hours between 1 and 3 are pretty much the only ones I can guarantee to be deeply asleep. So when I have to get up and scramble around the bedroom in the dark looking for something to plug the leaks?
It’s not going to be pretty.

If you notice anything odd about the picture I took this morning it will be on the right hand side.

Because at 2:09am in the bedroom in the dark?

Socks is what I found to plug the drafty whistling windows.
Jesus wept.
This is my life now.

At daybreak I did manage to rustle up some foam weatherstripping from the utility closet.

But like every other piece of bad luck I’ve been having, there wasn’t quite enough.
