Humidity

Over the last few weeks I've been in a losing battle with my air conditioning. First I tried not to use it at all, now I'm trying my best just to use it just for a few hours in the evening so I can fall asleep without completely overheating. Sadly though, it's not going to be long before the humidity beats me into total submission and my apartment becomes hermetically sealed from the outside.

Last night, the Friday night after-work get-together was in a pub only just over a mile from my house, so I took the unusual (to Houstonians) route of walking there. By the time I arrived I had rivulets of sweat dripping down my back, face and arms. Yuck. I wasn't overdressed, I wasn't hurrying, it's just seems that these are the consequences of moving about outside in this humidity. Yuck.
