Not gonna turn on the a/c. It's too soon... and a/c isn't good for your power bill, not good for energy use. Not turning it on.

But I can barely move. The humidity is unbearable. A breeze kicked in, a strong one. Tornado warnings, even.

But the breeze doesn't help. The sensation has gone from still heat to feeling like there's a hot blowdryer trained on my face.

This must be how a dog feels on a hot day, I think. If I had a tail, I'd thump it a few times instead of trying to do anything.

I've indulged in iced coffee but still am not functional. Can't do anything in the oppressive thick air.

I give in. If only I could reach the a/c remote without moving...
