Heat Wave

The weather forecast told us that the temperature will reach 40 degrees!
Well, it sure did. And what makes it worse is the humidity.
After a long but lovely lunch, I wanted to take a nap, the traditional siesta. But who was I kidding? I couldn't close my eyes. It's so hot out there that no air condition is good enough to make us feel better. A fan added to the equation still failed to do the job. After trying to stay in bed for half an hour, I gave up. Better do something more productive. So here I am writing about my discomfort in this major heat wave. Realistically, we'll have many more hot days like this. The summer is still young. I think I should think that we're still better than some places where the temperatures are even hotter.
Maybe... Just maybe...
If I try hard to imagine myself on a tropical island, under a coconut tree, a gentle breeze caressing my body, the sound of the sea soothing me, an ice cold drink in my hand...
Maybe... Just maybe... I'll feel better!

Yesterday, the heat was unbearable. I couldn't stand it. But there was no alternative.

What makes the heat so detestable is the fact that we do not need an additional reason for getting distressed or annoyed: the socio-political state is Enough .. especially with the exciting and thrilling daily reports/announcements/ and actions.

And there is no means whatsoever within our scopes to change things or at least, to regulate them.

So, we tend to breathe in and out .. in our own ways .. and we do discover then that we are breathing in Hot Air .. :-D ..

Then .. the 'in' comes 'out' !

I liked your imagined place ..
Is there a place for me?
Next to you .. maybe ;-D ..

Really I am quiet ..
And a very light-comapanoin!!

Mmm .. Think about it ;-)

And you're asking???
Of course there is a place for you. I can't dream of a better companion.
I just wish that the dream will come true!
