It is so hard not to scratch the hell out of my arms, face and neck. This bloody rash appears to be getting constantly worse. Ugh, go away!
Just a few of the reasons why I despise hot weather…
I despise getting sweaty. I hate the feeling of being too warm especially as I’m prone to going light headed and almost fainting whenever I over heat. I have no intention of wearing skimpy clothes. I am pale, therefore I burn. I have no desire to get a tan so sunbathing is of no interest to me. Most summer clothes are hideous. I do not want to smell other peoples body odour. When I’m working I have to push wheelchairs, use hoists, etc which make me boil to death through the winter, let alone in this heat. I don’t want to see beer bellies hanging over waist bands or arse cheeks hanging out of shorts. I like to actually sleep at night, not toss and turn with a fan on. Eating is the last thing I want to do in this heat and I love eating. People always suggest going to the beach: I can’t swim, I despise sand, I’m not willing to sunbathe, I am not going. I have yet to find a comfy pair of summer shoes. I burnt my arm (yes, the one arm) to a crisp after under an hour of it leaning on the car window which has now turned into a hideous rash and spread all over me. Sweat patches, need I say more? The ice cream man often decides to give my street a mess because it’s hard to turn. I do not drive, therefore I spend a lot of time on packed buses and trains travelling to and from work. All insects seem to come out in force when it’s warm. People insist on mowing the grass or doing DIY at unearthly times of the morning and waking the rest of us up. My father has terrible hayfever and listening to someone sneeze infuriates me. Loud groups of kids (I hate them all year round). I haven’t got a problem with being pale but it seems other people don’t think I’m aware of my skin colour and feel the need to point it out to me. Everywhere is busy. Bright sun light is very unflattering. People who assume everyone LOVES the heat and imply you’re boring if you don’t - you’re boring for not appreciating the cold! Those annoying feathery things that fly about everywhere. What appears to be constant day light. Having to see perfect looking people looking perfect in their perfect clothes, please leave and stop making everyone else feel like shit. The metal part of the seatbelt burning your fingers! Getting into a car that’s been parked in direct sunlight all day and almost dying. Your drink going warm in a matter of seconds. Make up melting off your face. People who were desperate for summer to come complaining about the heat - this is what you asked for! Some of us didn’t want it to come at all. Not being able to get a seat in a pub.
I dislike Wednesdays
Except for this one as I have a short shift (9am-3pm) which is going to be a pretty straight forward and enjoyable one as I’m in one of the houses I regularly work in (so I actually know what I’m doing) and I’m working with another member of staff who is rather funny. I then have five days off as I booked annual leave for Saturday and Sunday so I’d be able to go out now Cherene has her loan through (or should have by the weekend at least) and my manager kindly put my rest days either side for me! My parents and sister are also going on holiday for a week in a few days so, although I’ll be back in work, I have the house to myself which I love, although Joe will more than likely stay up most nights unless I’m working.
Nothing really exciting happening today but I’m just in a good mood, despite waking up at some unreasonably hour after about four hours sleep. Damn you gammy organs!
