While I was used to a brutal winter season that lasted from September through March, around here it starts to heat up again in February! Within a few weeks it is actually hot and sticky outside, and everything feels miserable unless you’re basking in abundant air conditioning every waking moment.
In the past year I relocated from my household state to a truly odd region of the country. I have to say, I’ve been less traumatized by the transfer than I expected, although I’m not adapting plus I could have. So far I haven’t made any new friends and I’m pretty scared to drive into the town alone because of all the maniac drivers out there. But I have found a few locations where I feel safe and comfortable, and I prefer visiting those attractions as often as I can. So all in all, I’m doing okay with the immense move. One of the things I haven’t grown accustomed to yet is the insane heat and humidity in these parts. While I was used to a brutal winter season that lasted from September through March, around here it starts to heat up again in February! Within a few weeks it is actually hot and sticky outside, and everything feels miserable unless you’re basking in abundant air conditioning every waking moment. I appreciate the afternoons when it’s comfortable enough to open our windows and doors for natural ventilation and to air out the house, however I’ve realized that even on the cooler afternoons around here, the humidity is still off the charts. The moisture from the air seems to seep into every soft surface of our household and leaves a lingering wet smell throughout the whole place. I guess this year my associate and I would be wise to invest in a new dehumidifying component to save ourselves and our cooling system a little hassle when the heat and humidity start to settle in again.
