I am so exhausted of residing in locales with terrible natural light.
All of the past four locales I’ve stayed at were nothing short of dim and gloomy all afternoon long; there wasn’t a single window that gained enough light during any part of the afternoon, however even though I was previously residing in crappy little apartments, the house that I currently live in is no different! All afternoon I struggle to brighten up my work space in order to make a more pleasant environment.
Of course, the locale where I like to do most of my writing has one of the poorest window situations. The only solution I’ve found is to open up our patio door, letting some of the streaming afternoon sunshine in. This looks amazing, but doesn’t feel so great! See, every time I try to catch the sun, I also catch the outdoor air and disrupt my home’s central Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system. The temperature outdoors is still a bit low, usually circling right around 50 degrees. Though the afternoonlight feels incredible, the air itself is too chilly compared to the temperature settings indoors. I end up feeling the temperature drop significantly as I continue to write, trying to be mindful of how strenuous the poor boiler is laboring as it tries to keep up. I know this isn’t a wonderful solution for brightening up my workspace and it’s going to cost me more currency in the long run to operate my central boiler harder. I’m just not sure what else to do, short of knocking a current hole into the wall.
