I've been in my apartment for almost four years now and the first summer I lived here I noticed how horribly humid it would get in the summer, so I bought a dehumidifier. I have to run the thing nonstop every day from April until the end of October every year, and I empty it almost every single day during that time because it fills up fast.

When I woke up yesterday morning, the first thing I noticed when I went into the kitchen was that the dehumidifier suddenly had a big blue sticker on the front of it. Thinking that maybe one of the kids stuck a sticker on it, I examined it and saw that it was an energy star sticker. Not only that but now there's long strips of tape running down either side of the machine. I examined further and the numbers on the digital screen that used to be faded out are now suddenly looking new again. I meant to clean the little vent screen on the back of it this weekend but when I took it off, it was no longer dirty.

I've been here alone all weekend and really have no logical explanation for any of it, but this isn't the first time something like this happened in this apartment.
