Hi Dahlek,
Not sure if you're just having a really bad day or you feel like this all the time. I have days I feel like that. I see that you're in Washington DC. I guess it's pretty hot there at the moment. From what I've read it's been an extra hot summer in the US this year. I went to DC once. Can't imagine how claustrophobic it made me feel but then it was one of the busiest places (in the air and on the ground) that I've ever been to see, apart from maybe Tokyo. I had a great time there seeing all the amazing galleries and museums and things like that. I even ate a hot dog from a street vendor which is something I'd probably not usually do. LOL

Anyway, I'm just prattling on here a bit. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you and yes, it sounds familiar that 'old house'. Here's to cooler weather for you soon in the hope that it'll make you feel more comfortable again. I'd send you some from here but it's too far.

take care there,
Lara
