All Things Fall Apart

I noticed it a few days ago before our trip. The decorative birdhouses fell on the ground again from the wicked wind. I didn’t bother to lift it up. I figured it might get blown down once more while we were out.

Even at this moment, the heat is unbearable today. It’s half an hour past nine and the outside temperature is finally cooling down. However it’s like an oven inside the house and will take hours to feel comfortable again. My companion is suffering. He now blames himself not having a ductless air conditioning system installed, which I have repeatedly mentioned to him the past two years. He’s frustrated by the relentless heat and concerned for his health. Therefore he spends most of his time in the bedroom where we have a portable AC. I could handle the high temperature much better, however his moodiness starts to get to me..

I wanted to blame it on the heat. I wanted to blame it on the house. I wanted to blame it on where we live.. Am I just looking for reasons to finally confront the real issue?
