You know when it’s so hot that your skin just weeps, your hair always feels sticky and damp like someone peed on you and you fantasize about running naked under the sprinkler that you just walked by?? That’s what’s going on in the BC interior right now. Yesterday was a little cooler than predicted- it only got to 39. For those of you in the USA that translates to “Holy fuck, I think my legs are melting.” This is the kind of weather that makes your eyeballs dry and your mouth taste like it’s stuffed full of sauna towels and pie shaped wedges of the sun.
I love hot days and I love cool nights. Currently, I’m only being satisfied 50% of the fucking time because there is no evening cool down period when the ball of fire sinks below the horizon and the breeze rolls in. When I went to bed last night it was still 26 outside. And I have no air conditioning. And things are touching my skin and breathing on me with what feels like molten lava breath. I would kick the dogs off of the bed but even I understand their need to be 4 feet closer to the ceiling fan.
