October in the very warm chair.
Oct. 5th, 2012 04:04 pmHello, October.
Hello, air conditioner in October.
Hello, needing to set the air conditioner to 72 in October just to keep the house from getting humid and sticky and why is it 80 degrees at the start of October?
I am actually not complaining. I love warmth. I love heat. But this is too much. This is too humid. My cats were melting on couches like Dali clocks before I made the house cool enough. I've been wearing sleeveless tops and sleeping with the fan on. I realize that this is Maryland, and sometimes it happens. But this is happening in the north, too. All around New York state, it is humid and sticky and warm. On the east end of Long Island, my parents must open all windows and turn all fans up to high because the only air conditioning unit they have is in the bedroom to help with my mother's asthma and sinus issues.
At night, finally feel chilly enough to push the thermostat to, say, 74, and bury myself under blankets while my cats sleep against me for love or warmth or both. One cat on the pillow above and between my pillow and Adam's pillow, one cat on my right side, one cat on my left side. I wake up in blazing sunbeams with at least one orange tabby sitting on me. The thermostat goes back to 72 for a few hours and the cats stop melting and I am still sleeveless.
Depression is lifted very very slightly. Rhinitis is eased just a little. Fibromyalgia is still flaring Cerebral palsy is still causing spasticity and hypertonia. Chondrdomalacia patella and sciatica still wreak havoc. I have been massaging healing serums and lotions into my joints and muscles, gratefully.

Adam took our trusty Shiatsu body massage heat pad and put it on the second couch in my library room and plugged it in so I can have a massage couch any time.
I am feeling lonely, but not alone. My husband will be home from his California job early next week, and I will get my favorite hugs then. Until then, I have cat hugs and a Shiatsu massage couch.
Also, here is one of my "I am a dragon in a pixie body, and I shall not take your bullshit, because if you try to anger me, I will stab you in your everywhere with this spear I am always holding." faces.
