Crappy sleep

[blue_lotus13]

I had a very cruddy sleep, mostly due to the fact that my apartment was too hot. In Mongolia, they have central heating. The entire city is heated by a coal factory, and pipes go underground to all the buildings. Therefore, it is impossible to change the temperature of your apartment. There are not even thermostats. The heat goes on September 15, and comes off May 15. Interestingly enough, people (like street people or street kids) live underground next to the pipes in the winter. Sometimes they burn themselves on the pipes and die.

Anyway,I opened the windows to cool things off, then woke up because I was freezing. When I looked outside, it had snowed a little bit. Fortunately I have the day off, so I will do nothing, then go to a museum.

That is so bizarre, but in a strange way it reminds me of my apartment! (top floor, no control over heat, heat is turned off completely in Spring and not turned on until November). During the 4th of July heat wave last year it was over 100 degrees F in our apt. Then we sleep with the window cracked all winter!
