I am not one to appreciate extreme weather. Unfortunately, I live in the Canadian Prairies. The winters are freezing, around -40C some times. The summers are scorching. And to top it off, it’s dry. All the time. So, I am dry. As much as I moisturize, I maintain a cover of light white dry dust on my skin. It’s gross. It won’t go away. (Until I make my escape back to Quebec…) Gah.
Yesterday was the first day of really hot weather. And I was in the worst place– the bus. I completely overheated and I’ve been sick since then. And sniffling. I don’t get it. Colds are for the WINTER, not the summer! In any case, all signs point to slight on-set of heat stroke (something I am blessed to get a few times every summer since I was seven.). Fun fun.
It’s only +26C. It can get so much worse. And when it does, I will go dig myself a hole in the backyard, next to the house so I can have shade, and I will sit in my hole. Because I hate heat.
So, that’s what I’m up to. Dying. Also, my parents have left me alone for the May Long weekend, because I have to work the whole thing, and they have to go North for my great-grandmother’s funeral (she passed away Xmas day, but they waited until now for the funeral so it would be nice out). So, I’m here, with no food, cooking on the inside and the outside, and I have to drag myself to work a few times.
I’m not pleased. 
If it makes you feel any better…I got sunburnt yesterday
May = Still a possibility of SNOW = Melissa not realising that it was summer out and deciding to walk/sit in the sun for 4 hours = Sunburn!
*hugs* Aww - poor you. Get better soon. I hate hot and humid weather. It’s disgusting; hot and dry weather isn’t much better. Soon, it’s probably going to be around 40C here. *cries*
Woah, they waited till now for the funeral? Has she been cremated already or something? Sorry to sound so blunt and dumb.
I hope you have a good weekend, despite having to work it.
26 degrees?! THAT’S INSANE!
26c is 78f. If our summers stayed 78 the whole time, I would be overjoyed. Most of the summer, we are stuck in the 90s. Its never dry heat, its humid. Which is worse because it seeps into you and youre sweaty and icky.
Of course, our winters never go into the negatives. Where I live it will sometimes go down to 30f and where I used to live down to 15f. Ive never seen snow
Trust me, you have not experienced scorching hot weather. If 26 degrees C is 78 degrees F, 78 is comfortable weather in my opinion. You should try 104 degrees F. I live down south Texas and it’s humid. You are definitely not going to like that. I wish I could have a taste of unbearable cold weather.
yesterday was the first hot day of the year in victoria too, but i looooveddddd it!!1 gimme sun! and blue skies! and SPF 75 please since i’m a red head and i burn like nobodies business!
