In which the universe

responds by making the air vent blow cold air and it will not be shut off. Nothing. Not even taking the batteries out of this fucking thermostat makes it stop.

I am not going to die of pneumonia in my own apartment because I'm sick and the vent blows cold air on me.

TRULY. TRULY. Can I just have clear lungs and a peaceful night and not feel awful?

Is that really too much to ask?

AIR VENT THAT WON'T STOP BLOWING COLD AIR.

Sleeping downstairs on a pullout loveseat. Because that vent shuts more than the upstairs vent.

Praying for health and healing thoughts.

This has to get better.

I want to feel healthy.

Healed.

Well.

Good.

And live in a place where the thermostat functions. I'm not going to let this sabotage my slow healing process.

I....will....survive....this....too....shall....pass....

FIX THE THERMOSTAT.
