No splitty is gonna suck :( I would do everything you can to reduce humidity. Get a squeegee for the shower, shower early in the morning, do clothes drying and automatic dishwashing the day before if possible. Fill up ice trays for smoothies and iced coffee too.
I think one of the most underrated things about living by myself is having cold water always available in the fridge, and ice cubes always available, too. At the last place we did have a water jug in the fridge and many ice cubes trays, but nobody gave a shit and would never replenish what they use. It fucking sucked on hot days
Not answering your question with this but I just want to say again how excited I am that you’re moving out to your own digs 😄 Having nobody fuck with your pantry and fridge items is THE BEST
THANK YOU! It really is! I’ve been by myself for quite a few months now, so it’s not super new, but it’ll be great to know that people can’t mess with my home environment anymore
(Side note: the new house is in what I reckon is a better area. My current area is very posh, but there’s not really anything to be walked to. There is a small supermarket within walking distance, but it’s 15 minutes up a steep hill. There’s also a yuppy cafe, but they charge $6 for coffee and $12 for a croissant. This new area has a train station, bus stop, library, like 10 indian restaurants, a pharmacy, etc etc all within a 10 minute walk)
Oooh this is all coming up Baku! New place defo sounds way more useful for you and in case the house gets hot or uncomfortable or whatever you’ve got plenty of other good places to hang out at and explore, this is excellent. Posh area only sounds nicer if you have a bougie house and a car. Yay!!
Ohhhh good point, I can always duck down to the library on uber hot days! I think it’s open on weekends, too!
Agree on the bougie areas. Unfortunately I don’t drive/have a car, and we probably have the worst house in the suburb (through decades of lack of adequate maintenance, it’s pretty much falling down and half the wood’s rotted at this point)
Also, it’s just very sterile. Most of the houses are white double decker things, most of the cars are white, and most of the people here are very up themselves with a ton of inherited wealth and property. It’s been an interesting experience to live with maybe the 10%, but I think I got in far better with the less pure feeling area I’m moving to
Oh lord I know the kind of suburb you’re talking about. Ugh. It’s time for you to truly experience society and life as an independent human, on your own terms, not just one stuck under care. This new suburb sounds like it’s much better suited for that
Definitely make use of free air-conditioning as much as you can on the hot days! If a hot day falls on cheap movie night and there’s a cinema nearby, that’s a nice option too.
All the best with the move, keep us updated! We’ve missed having you around here
