i think, i hope that…

summer is finally over.

the crazy warm days dragged me down.  sure we usually only have about a month of them in the whole year but my goodness, the summer days here are intensely warm. the sun burns. and to make things worse, we had a lot of humid days this year. it’s like being back in indo, basically. without the ac.

our flat has no ac. my car is over 15 years old antique and has no ac. my workplace has no ac. can’t even escape to the mall because the bloody mall has no freaking ac either.

we tried to cool down. the warm cable on the hallway was turned off. the temperature of that in the bathroom was turned way down. the balcony door was constantly open wide. the doonas got kicked to the floor constantly. tons of ice cream were bought and consumed. mostly by me.

the sun i could take. stayed under the shade and i was ok. the humidity, however, i could not run away from.

and that was how i lost sleep night after night. i took naps a few times because a) it was too warm and the only way i could stop thinking about how warm it was, was by sleeping to kill the time and b) i was sleep-deprived.

this week has been lovely. lots of rain, cloudy days and the temperature has really dropped. no more sticky days before rain, just very cool days.

for the first time in goodness know how long, i went to work in jeans instead of leggings this week (yes, i’ve sunk that low. i wore leggings to work paired with long tops. it was WARM, ok). i even wore a long-sleeved shirt one day. i had my hair down instead of pulling it up into a pony tail. and my bang was freed, not kept out of my face by a hairband. today, i wore boots instead of flats or flip flops.

i am soooooo relieved. i hate summer.
