OK, that wasn't it at all.
It is hot. It is SO DAMN HOT. And we have no AC, just two pedestal fans that are on so much that we'll probably end up shorting the entire building.
I am reminded of my last visit to Serbia, where it was so hot at that time that everyone took turns jumping into the shower to cool off. I am considering this right now, and I'd do it, save for the fact that there is no cold water. Filling our water fiter, I quickly realised the water on the cool end was in fact not cool at all.
I may or may not have stuck my head inside the freezer for a moment earlier. I recalled a scene in The Seven Year Itch where Marilyn's character tells the poor guy about how she sticks her undies in the icebox on hot days. I can't imagine how that would be anything but uncomfortable.
I eagerly tuned in to the weather report, only to find that it'll cool down about 10 degrees and then shoot back up. Oh, joy. I hate to be negative about it, but what with school a mere 2 weeks away, I'm praying for some relief here. I may have to use the emergency eye bath by the time I get to campus, to rinse all the sweat off.
There's so much I want to get done, too. For one, the apartment is in crippling need of a good cleaning. My first priorities when I got back were unpacking, then cleaning out the bathroom and kitchen, as they were both pretty bad. You should have seen the clump of hair in the shower drain. It gave me the damn willies. If I had been gone any longer, it may have grown in some eyes and developed a brain. So I got all that done, but then comes the worst part..cleaning MY stuff. and there is ever so much of it. The trouble is, when it's this hot, it is literally hard to move without breaking into an instantaneous sweat. At least Arizona had ducted air conditioning. lol stinkin Australia.
OK I need to go before I make myself further irritated. lol.
