Husband appreciation blog!
So I love to leave our windows open and get fresh air, but our neighbors smoke and I smell it every time they do. Anyway last night was a nice night, so I decided to leave the windows open and have a fan on. Woke up at about 2 or 2:30 am because the smell of smoke woke me up. Those bastards! I couldn't go back to sleep until about 4:30am or so.
Then bleary eyed, irritable and half awake this morning, I asked my husband if we could get new windows. Our condo's windows are older, I think the seals are worn, and I can smell the neighbor's smoke even with all the windows closed. Our inspector and realtor said they should probably get replaced, so I was really irritable about it this morning.
This afternoon he tells me he called our HOA guy and did research about getting new windows. Also he found out about a light bulb that neutralizes smoke smells. He did some research about resolving this standing issue that's been bugging me forever.
Also, he drove me this morning because with lack of sleep, probably not a good idea for me to drive. He was uber considerate and he listened to me this morning :)
Anyway, I think we'll have to sleep with the windows closed from now on. Also, unfortunately, I think we'll have to leave them closed most of the time :( It's the 2nd time I've been woken up in the middle of the night from the smoke smell, and I was unable to go back to sleep. I smell the smoke a few times every day and that gets annoying. Also maybe get more plants to get "fresh" air in the house. Getting new windows and seals might be good too for keeping the smell out.
Anyway Thank You Husband for listening this morning :) I hope we get those new windows soon.
