hmm.

The downside of the really excellent water pressure and really excellent hot water in my shower is that after even a moderate-length shower, the bathroom turns into a steam room.  Everything is covered in condensation, and there's no ventilation in there, so it takes forbloodyever to dry out (or for me to dry off, which needless to say I have to do in another room).  Suggestions for how to cope with this (there was no ventilation in the bathroom at my old place, either, but -a- it was bigger, and -b- it had two doors, one of which opened into the walk-in closet, so I normally closed the closet door and left the bathroom door open, making it a much bigger space for the steam to fill, and plus there wasn't as much of it) are extremely welcome.

I wasn't precisely correct that there's no ventilation -- there is a window, which I have now opened, not that it's any cooler outside, of course. But it is fractionally less humid, I suppose, and also it won't always be high summer. I'll see how that works tomorrow. (It's a small window and there's a blind over it and a cabinet blocking most of it, so I don't think it should monkey too much with how hard the A/C is working, right?) What I'd dearly love is to put a fan in the window, but alas, I would then have to run the cord all the way across the wet room to get to the plug, so I think it's not to be.

Fie on the nonexistence of an outlet near that window! I do hope that opening the window helps somewhat, though. It should, particularly when it isn't Swamp Season.
