ARGH

My roommate, having once more temporarily returned, was of course cleaning earlier. I go into the kitchen to get something, and find that she has opened the window, presumably because of the bleach-y smell of whatever she was using.

People. It is snowing, windy, and 19 degrees. Why, why, WHY would you ever open the window in such conditions? No wonder I was thinking it felt colder than normal in here.

lmao! Aw, poor you. Yesterday we were having great weather with -42! *is still cold*

I can't wait till winter's over and I think everyone feels the same, ^_^!

Oh my god, -42! Your winter terrifies me.

But I certainly agree! I can't wait for Spring.

lol, it's been a long time since it's been that cold here, C'MON SUMMER! I wanna wear sandals again!

God, me too! I am so sick of all my winter clothes; I really want to wear summer things again, and flipflops, and not be covered in layers of heavy coats. ;_;

Because the danger of inhaling toxic chemicals and having them go straight to your brain, especially bleach, which eats through everything it touches, is worse than that of being a little cold?

How long was the window open? Five minutes should have been sufficient--that's about how long it took to air out the ground floor here after I accidentally turned the gas in the stove on without lighting a burner last month.

Well, yes, but I sincerely doubt it was actually bleach. She'd been washing crumbs off the countertops in a kitchen, not dealing with anything that would need toxic chemicals. It was probably dish soap, or at most something like Clorox Disinfectant.

I'm not certain of the time; I'd say it was about half an hour from when I'd heard her cleaning to when I'd happened to wander in. And since I closed in when I noticed it, I don't know how long she'd meant to leave it open.

Right, it's still winter in the rest of the country. It's been up in the 70s out here in California. Now people are complaining because there's rain on the forecast. I remind them that large parts of the country are still buried under snow.

Ah! Lucky you; I am so very jealous.
