Ughhhh, This Dang Heat!

Tweet

It’s been in the 90s all week, and to be honest, I’m not a fan of it. I’ve never been a fan of the blistering heat, though. It’s hot, sticky, and just uncomfortable. I walked into the coffee shop today, looked at my friend, and said, “It’s not even summer yet, and I already hate summer.” Unfortunately, the a/c at the coffee shop broke this morning. I mean, it’s just as warm in my house, so I may as well stay here where there are fewer bodies to generate heat. We don’t have our air conditioners in yet, and probably won’t until June because the temperature will remain steady by then. So for now, I have some cold caffeinated drink that my niece was testing (she came up with it herself, I believe, but I didn’t ask her what it is, like if it’s a cold brew, latte, etc.) because it’s REALLY good. It has hints of pineapple and mocha. I also bought water in my big insulated Snoopy tumbler. I love this tumbler because it keeps my drinks cold for HOURS. Perfect for drinking water on a hot day. I’m also next to the open door. I love sitting next to the open door because of the sun, but I’m also just trying to stay cool. There are ceiling fans, but meh. They can only do so much. But again, regardless of where I work, it’ll be hot. I just feel I’ll focus better at the coffee shop. On a somewhat related (to focusing) note, my younger sister let me borrow one of her many Bluetooth earbuds at the gym over the weekend. I have Bluetooth over-the-ear headphones, but my ears were getting hot (I don’t walk as slowly on the treadmill as I used to, so I work up a sweat more). So anyway, she let me have the earbuds, which was super nice of her. I keep them in my purse so nothing happens to them, and I pulled them out today. My headphones were getting uncomfortable, and the earbuds are noise-canceling anyway. Sooo, I’m listening to an autumn-themed playlist because it’s relaxing, will help me focus, and maybe I’ll “think cool” lol. As for my work, I’m in the middle of a writing order that’s due in a few hours. I’m not sure what I’m doing after because work is slow at the moment. It also depends on how I’m feeling after this one is submitted. While I focus better at the coffee shop, the heat does pose a problem for me. I’m just going to worry about this order and cross the next bridge when I get to it. Once I get home, I'm grabbing a cold shower. I was supposed to go to the store to pick up my medication, but my brother-in-law was already going, so he did that for me. I don’t think I want to go anywhere else. I just wanna sit in front of the fan and cool off. Fortunately, the temperature is dropping back down to the 60s/70s on Thursday, and it’s SUPPOSED to be in the 70s for several days after (hence why we don’t have the a/c in yet). So, at least this won’t last for long. By the next time it does, we’ll hopefully have the a/c in. Alrighty, I’m going to get back to work. You all have a good day. Stay safe and take care.
