Whining About the Heat

[livingdeb]

I don't like the cold, but 103 in June is a bit much. If you're thinking, yeah, yeah, whatever, it's not like you're in Houston with 90% humidity, you're right. But if you're thinking it was probably that hot for just for a few minutes, and at night it cools off and I can open all my windows, turn on the fans, and get cool: last night's low was 82. That's right, it never dropped below 80 degrees.

The other day, the breeze was so hot it didn't even feel good. It felt more like bus exhaust than a refreshing breeze--yeah, air is rushing by, but no thanks, I'm not really interested in that particular air.

Basically, it's generally uncomfortably hot or dark or both, except when it's deathly hot. When, exactly, am I supposed to go jogging? At least there's a lot of shade in the early morning and late evenings.

I like it being too hot for a little while; it helps me appreciate autumn. But having crazy heat for the entire month of August, like we usually have, is really plenty. That totally works for me, even though I used to dread fall because it meant winter was all too near. Three months of crazy heat? Arg!

We Northerners can't even imagine such a thing, especially this month. It's been low to mid 60s and rainy for almost the whole month. Saw a stat on the weather last night that it has been sunny for only five days this month. I disbelieve that it's even been that much! I feel like someone snuck up on us and moved the Northeast to the Northwest.

Anyway, I sympathize. I do not think I could handle 90+ days of 90 degrees!

Re: jogging. Gym on treadmill? I know it's not ideal, but...

Yeah, I checked the weather last night at 10:30 and it was still 95 degrees. No wonder walking around had felt so hot. It's sort of hard for me to square that kind of temperature with total darkness.
