Heat and humidity

The humid air drapes over my shoulders with a tangible weight, soft and wet and heavy. I feel listless and cranky. Delia is leaning on my chair, her little nose sweaty. My office is the hottest room in the house, and I am tired of the heat's oppression, the difficulty breathing, the clammy and uncomfortable feeling. There is a pollution alert in the Cities today; it has been going on for several days. There is no sign that the heat will break soon.

I do not want to cook dinner. I do not want to go to karate. I do not want to do anything that I am supposed to do.

I'd offer to hug you, but I'm equally hot and sticky. It's 86 in this house, according to the kitchen thermostat. Not bad. Last heatwave got it up to 96 in here.
