Oh, The Heat

It’s hot and I am compelled by Internet Law to write about this heat.

This heat, what, 105, 107? It’s just ruining things. Look what it’s doing to my electric bill when I run my air-conditioning. And the water bill when I water the lawn and plants. Yikes, you should see, you really should. It’s unbelievable.

It’s too hot to do anything but sit. It even affects my Internet connection, can you believe it? I’m serious, when the heat gets over 97, the Internet connection becomes spotty, don’t ask me why, but it really makes it so hard to post anything or find out who’s doing anything. THANK GOD for my iPhone!

It’s so hot, I can barely move. Even when I don’t move, I’m sweating. Look, I’m sweating now, and this is inside, in the shade. We’ve put up awnings and umbrellas on the porches and patios, and there is the pool for a cool dip but even these reliefs are so momentary because you wouldn’t believe the breeze, it’s like fresh out of a pizza oven. Speaking of which, we wanted to grill pizzas tonight but I told them, it’s just too hot for us to do that. Let’s go to a fun restaurant with air conditioning and spoil ourselves with fine food and drinks.

Otherwise, I’m just going to have to sit inside and read in the air conditioning today, and what fun is that? That’s hardly living. We should go away somewhere until this heat wave ends. Like Vegas! You check for some flights and I’ll look for a room. The Bellagio! I love it there!

Road trip! I am literally so excited. I can’t wait until this heat wave ends.

  1. Perhaps 105 is a bit much (40 Celsius, right?). Is it humid or dry heat? I was once in Andalusia, with 40 celsius but bone dry. I loved it. Recently, I went to Rome (37 Celsius and humid) and it took me a week there before I started sweating, so chilled was I from all these years living in England!

    1. Mid range humidity, which makes it more endurable. We have many trees downtown and a creek running through the plaza, and down in that area, it’s pleasant when the wind blows. Two miles away, where we live, less tree provide less shade and we feel the blaze.

      I overheard a woman exclaiming about a similar reaction to your tale while I was walking. She said, “Oh, I love this heat. It feels so good on my bones.” Her companion replied, “You must like it, you’re not even sweating.” She answered, “Well, I was on the coast. It was chilly there.”

      Thanks for sharing, K. Cheers
