I had been living in the town for almost more than nine years now, & I still haven’t gotten used to it, and there isn’t a afternoon goes by that I don’t wish I was living back on the farm.
It doesn’t matter what I do, my home is never comfortable.
I can smell the fumes of the city, & it makes me sick. I tried a portable air cleaner, but it didn’t help. The odor is on my clothing & skin when I get home, & I need to scrub my clothes every afternoon & take a shower twice a afternoon. I purchased three suits so I could have 1 to wear, 1 for the next afternoon, & have 1 in the dry cleaners. I just don’t love how they smell when I get home; Of course, this home will never really be my home. It the home above me is having guests, I can hear them. There is an older couple that lives below me, & they like their heat. The heat comes up through the floor. I seldom have my thermostat above sixty because the heat from their home keeps me warm… Unfortunately, while in the summer, I need to keep the thermostat lower, because they use little A/C. I remember the breeze blowing the dining room curtains while in the middle of summer. The two of us didn’t need A/C on the farm. The only odor was when my Mom was working in the fields, & they were far enough away that you had to be outside to assume he was working. I am stuck in the city, & trying to figure out how to rectify it, short of moving back home with my parents.
