Living without the shock factor

We have a de-humidifier in our basement. It is necessary. I enjoy having it there.

Two days ago, Jenny asked me to go to the basement and get our humidifier out of storage and bring it upstairs to the living room. With the dry air in our house upstairs, we had noticed an inordinate amount of static shock going on. We now have a de-humidifier in the basement, and a humidifier in the living room. This, my mind gets puzzled over.

A part of me thinks I should only be able to put water in the humidifier that has been taken in by the de-humidifier. But that would be a lot more work than the system now, so I quiet my mind with caffeine or television or sleep. That way, all of me is happy.
