….let the whining begin. That’s right kids, the sun has been out for 2 days now if that doesn’t mean summer I don’t know what does. Don’t get too excited because there is neverending rain in our future (including on July 4th). The icky (highly technical term) equation for today is:
3 weeks of rain soaked ground
+hot sunshine
HUMIDITY
It’s my least favorite of the big three: hazy, hot and humid. It the kind of weather that makes you stick to everything like contact paper, that makes a book left outside swell like a tick, and makes everyone sweat. Yes ladies, sweat. I don’t glow, I don’t perspire, I sweat. Fact of life, but unless I am earning it my getting my butt on the eliptical, I don’t like it.
I try to think of good things, like sweat is a self-cleaning cycle for my pores or I am a winner of a one person ”damp” T-shirt contest. Nonetheless, it’s gross. I know the body needs to sweat to cool itself off, but you think we could have evolved to have air vents/gills or something on our sides to encourage air flow. Then the gills “close” in the cooler weather as a sort of winterizing of the body. Maybe I am just watching too many sci-fi movies, who knows!
For the time being I will be taking advantage of central air, overhead fans and, as always…. iced coffees.
