• two boxes of oyster mushrooms (larger clamshell size, maybe four ounces each? not sure)
  
• two pints of cherry tomatoes
  
• two heads of green leaf lettuce
  
• a big bunch of spinach
  
• three heads of garlic
  
• seven medium yellow onions
  
• six biggish potatoes (they look like Yukon golds)
  
• three huge globe artichokes (much yayness!)

Now, if only I could face actual cooking, but in this heat, I wilt. I know, it's only low 80s, but magids aren't made for hot weather. At all. And yet, I've never lived with an AC, either. And I've been miserable each summer (well, except when in the lovely air-conditioned-ness of my office. Thank goodness for work :-). I'm thinking that should change, though. Even a small room AC would make a difference, knowing I'd have somewhere cool enough to sleep. (And for the people who say it's not the heat, it's the humidity, well, yes, some, but it doesn't make much difference, since here the two come hand in hand.)
(As I type, I can feel sweat trickling down me. I don't know why I sweat so much more/easily than everyone else seems to, but I do.)

Oh, and I should consider investing in a cooler and ice packs too, to leave out for the veggies, as suggested.

It wasn't what We Did either, hence the "I'm an adult. I can buy an air conditioner." epiphany. (How does one punctuate that sentence with that quotation?)

I'm glad you were able to get one. I like your word play, to "not look a gift AC in the features." How has it worked out, so far?

I use a vaporizer (which is different from a humidifier) in the winter. Using humidifiers and vaporizers was something We Did, and I began doing again a number of years ago after many years of not.

It was funny to me when we'd run the huge humidifier upstairs near the bedrooms and at the same time the de-humidifier down in the basement. Also, I never liked the term "vaporizer" because a vaporizer was a scary instrument of evil on Mighty Mouse when I was little. It wasn't until a few years ago when I realized the difference between a humidifier (measures and keeps a certain level of humidity in the air) and a vaporizer (simply vaporizes whatever water it is given), that I began to use the still-scary word "vaporizer" again.

Some folks I know run warm and some run cold. I run exponentially warmer the warmer it gets, and exponentially colder the colder it gets.

So far, it hasn't worked out at all: it's hopefully arriving tonight :-).

We had dehumidifiers when I was growing up; I didn't like having to remember to empty them. Though now that would likely seem less onerous, plus I have plants to water... Maybe I should look into getting one, also.

Vaporizer definitely sounds like a WMD to me. And I hadn't known that there were vaporizers, either.

I consistently run warm; I overheat easily, even when it's cool out. When I was little, I thought everyone did, and just coped better than I did.
