... We stay indoors, eat something cold...
I used not to worry about this. Stupid aging.
There goes my daily walks around noon. Doesn't help that my sleep schedule is shifted into day-shift than nighttime night life.
Air-conditioning and electric fan usage is on high.
So is the water bills.
I sort of miss paying water bills.
I used not to worry when it's hot. Because o deal with it better than cold.
So I was not like most people when it came to dealing with heat.
It's not a mere sensory issue. The cold is sometimes PAINFUL. It's like it's physical than something in mt head.
Heat exhaustion doesn't make me worry. Until... I no longer deal with cold intolerance. Had to learn to deal with heat like everyone else.
Yay for ice cream and iced orange juice!!!
Trips to the air-conditioned malls and venues... Pools and beaches!!!
EXCEPT...
Getting unlucky by getting sick due to changes of extreme weather.
Usually in my case; it's sinus infection that feels like tonsillitis, only higher up my nose... Which can descend and infect my lungs as well.
No ice cream, no orange juice, no trips out, nope, nope. I'm too busy with phlegm, bodily aches and potential fever.
Sigh...
And even if I don't have any sickness anymore, I had to deal with... Body temperature. Hydration levels.
Then there's two types of outdoor heat I deal with; the heavy humid and the dry hot kind.
Former is NOT pleasant, may suffocate me and give me headaches.
The latter feels like hot shower without showering and less chance of sweating.
I miss the latter. Screw the former.
I don't care if my skin gets burnt. Not that I ever experienced sunburn before.
Though... To be safe, I have some stock of sunblock. And unsure if I should cut corners with it because it's pricey.
Wouldn't be ideal if I could just be asleep all day long and wake up, go out at nighttime?
I wish.
That would require me a decent enough room.
Else I'd be dealing with sweat and potential discomfort.
The stereotype here is that people here just take a bath 3 times a day.
Sorry. The budget here is a bit tight. Especially due to recent events. Another story for another day.
I'm also contemplating if I should get a shorter hair so I wouldn't bother with tying my hair and using conspicuous amount of conditioner...
Or just let it be, get a trim or so. Usually, I do do haircuts until past Christmas. Another story for another post.
Really, other than the bodily changes due to birth control, related to blood pressure and body temperature...
There's my decision making; I don't ride trics and pay for it when I could just walk it in 10 minutes on foot.
Now I'm willing to make bargain.
Sigh... I don't like aging.
I don't care if I'd look older. I just had enough with feeling crappier, fussier and more sensitive as I age.
