I am so tired of living in places with terrible natural light.
All of the past four places I’ve stayed at were nothing short of dim as well as gloomy all day long; there wasn’t a single window that received enough light while in any part of the day.
Even though I was previously living in crappy little apartments, the house that I currently live in is no different! All day I struggle to brighten up my labor space in order to make a more pleasant environment. Of course, the place 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 sun in. This looks amazing, however doesn’t feel so great, but see, every time I try to catch the sun, I also catch the outdoor air as well as disrupt my home’s central HVAC system. The temperature outdoors is still a bit low, usually circling right around 50 degrees. Though the sunshine feels incredible, the air itself is too cold 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 difficult the poor furnace is working as it tries to keep up. I know this isn’t a nice solution for brightening up my workspace as well as it’s going to cost me more money in the long run to operate my central furnace harder. I’m just not sure what else to do, short of knocking a new hole into the wall.
