So this is the time of year when I really get my reading and house chores done.
It’s mid July and where I live, you better have a hobby indoors at this time of year.
The only time it’s okay for me to get out of the air conditioning is the early morning or the late evening. Going outside at this time of year around here can be dangerous for an old guy like me. I’m now just about to be 80. While I’m in good shape for this age, I still have to be very conscious of the heat. This far south, the heat and humidity can team up to really put the hurt on a body this age. Well for that matter, this level of heat can put the hurt on a person half my age if they aren’t careful. It still amazes me when I see folks working on the road or putting on a roof in the middle of all this heat. I just don’t know how in the world they are able to do that. For me, I get out of the air conditioning inside my home first thing in the morning for some fresh air and a walk. From there, I try to get any other errands done before about 11 in the morning. That’s the time when I either do household chores or just spend my time inside the central air conditioning reading. But for me, it’s not that big a deal. It’s only a few more months before I’ll be able to enjoy the outdoors all I want. And the heat pump will go back to not having to run night and day in order to provide the cooling comfort I need.
