Saturday, 8 June 2019 18:48Hnnnghhhhh sorry for latency but we switched from an abnormally cold May from slightly above standard June temperatures. That mean going from 14° to 30°... in just two days. (~57 to ~86F).
(When I say abnormally, I mean it. It rained for the whole month, it snowed above 600m/~2000ft, which is a happens-once-a-century thing, a lot of the agriculture got the worst and a lot of places flooded. Blargh.)
Coming down to the personal side of things, as someone reading this might already know, I don't do heat well. At all. My comfortable temperature is below 18C/65F. Every degree over that and I pile on being miserable and hating basically the universe. And I loooooathe feeling sweaty and sticky.
...I might have some sensory problem on that, to be honest.
Anyway, add to that the hot flashes (welcome, menopause. Not.) and the fact the husband, due to his many ailments, can't stand cold really well. Our ranges of comfortable temperatures doesn't overlap at all, so that's the reason when people see us together in these days I'm in a tank top sweating and he has at least three layers of clothing, one of these wool.
I have AC but either for the above and the fact that I feel very self-conscious about using such a big heat pollution producing appliance make me use it only when I'm desperate... or have to work. (Workstation+Screen+Cintiq: good in winter to save on heating, not so much in summer).
Anyway. The abrupt season change -- added to all the other things crossing me in this period -- made me have quite a meltdown, and what little brain power I had left I have to dedicate to work and chores, so if I kind of disappeared from everywhere else... sorry ^^; I was on the bed and in front of the fan with the mental equivalent of a BSOD.
