So there’s no arguing that our house is really very nice. It’s a bit on the small side, sure, but it’s got loads of charm and it’s in a good neighborhood.
The only complaint I have — and this is a relatively recent complaint — is that our master bedroom has a rather unfortunate HVAC layout. In particular, the room’s sole outflow vent blows directly over the side of the bed that’s always inhabited by yours truly. In the summer it’s a blast of cool air when the AC is on, and in the winter it’s a warm, dry gale that whips across my sleeping face and sucks the breath right out of my lungs. In the morning I wake up with a tremendous thirst and a ferocious case of windburn on the right side of my face.
I’ve tried turning my back to the vent, but sleeping on my side all night has given me a seriously sore neck. I told Leah that I’m going to fashion a small baffle out of cardboard and duct tape that will redirect the air so that it blows into the side of the bed and not over my body. I’m sure it won’t be pretty to look at, but then no one will ever see it unless they come around to my side of the bed.
