I LOVE SUMMER!

But, I hate the heat.


Not really the heat so much as the humidity. And, generally, it is quite tolerable. I enjoy hanging at the pool, sitting under the sprinkler, whatever summertime activities I do to keep cool, I love them.


Why?


Because, no matter how hot I get outside, I can go INSIDE to get cool.


Except for today.


It has been humid all day, so humid that a mist formed across the fields around my house at dusk. So humid I feel like I am drinking my air. Which would be fine, on any given day.



Except for today.


And, it was eighty degrees today. Eighty is a good number. A nice, round number. A perfect summer day number.


But, not today.


Why, you may ask, is today so different than any other day?


Because, my AC went out. And the repairman can't get here until the morning. Sure, he would have been happy to come out tonight, had I been willing to shell out $250 for him just to come look at the damn thing. So, yeah, I am waiting until the morning. Because I am cheap like that. In the meantime, I feel like I am living in hell on earth, but wetter.


And, it sucks. But not as bad as it would if there were a blizzard raging outside. Because, you all know, I hate the cold far more than I hate the heat. So, I am suffering in silence. (Well, you all get to hear about it, but you really aren't listening to the whining going on in my head right now, be grateful. Be very grateful. I whine A LOT when I am overheated. And it's a bitchy whine. Not fun.)
