It's ridiculously hot these days! Even in the late night, warm breeze is blowing through my apartment windows. No cool air out from the blades of my fan, too. It is so hot that sometimes after I've taken my shower, I sweat immediately!
Like yesterday. Another blazing, hot day. At work in school, it was alright since the staffroom was equipped with air-conditioning. In fact, at one point of the day, I even had to take out my cardigan as the room was getting a tad too cold for me. In the late afternoon, right before dismissal time, it poured.
It poured and poured from the sky, giving me hope for a cooler evening, perfect ending to a Monday. So much that I think the dismissal process was little too wet for the comfort of everyone. Wet floors, umbrellas, squeezing about 200 students under the little foyer in the front.
No complaints from me. The rain decided to stop though, about half hour after making it's mark. It was still quite cooling though. Cooler breeze could be felt blowing gently for a while when I was heading towards my car. The land's temperature was definitely down at least by 2 degrees.
Yet, when the evening approached, I could feel the heat again. Slowly but surely, the warmth of the sun and the anger from the butchered earth is taking over, punishing all of us humans. The heat was terrible as the evening progressed into the night. I wished I could take a short shower before I sleep, but I daren't. Last time I did, I went down with cough and slight running nose for almost a week. Talk about irony, right?
So, what can I do? There's no point to fix air-conditioning in my room, definitely, and no shower before bed. Last night I slept with the fan blowing at full blast, warm air around the room, windows open, wide...Alas, my limitations in life during hot days!
